Introduction
The EasyIO® FS series operates as a BACnet device and BACnet client. The series handles the following BACnet
protocols:
•BACnet IP server
•BACnet MSTP server
•BACnet IP Client
•BACnet MSTP Client
Prerequisites
A prerequisite for the FS series is the latest version of CPT Tools. The firmware must also be V3.0b51b or later.
BACnet server configuration limitations
The FS series controller does not provide power on the SA bus. You must use an external power source.

BACnet server configuration
You can deploy the architecture of the driver, as per the below procedure. You can drop the network object
anywhere in the Sedona app tree. It is best practice to create a separate folder for each network.
Bacnet Service
Bacnet Server Network (IP and MSTP)
Points (BACnet server objects)
The BACnet driver kit, easyioFGBACnet,is dependent on the installation of the easyioFGDriver. To install both kits
to enable configuration of the BACnet network in an FS series device, complete the following steps:
1. Connect to the controller with Sedona Workbench or CPT Tools with the following default logon
credentials:
•IP address: 192.168.10.12
•Username: admin
•Password: <no password>
2. To add the kits to the controller, navigate to the kit management and install easyioFGBACnet and
easyioFGDriver on your controller.
3. Select easyioFGBACnet from the kit library, drag the BACService object into the EasyIO folder on your app.
Alternatively, you can create a new folder for the Service Object. In the following example, the object is in
a new folder with a BACnet label.

4. To view the property on the property sidebar, click the BACnet service object. In the below example, there
is the configuration of the BACnet communication parameters, such as the MSTP MAC address.
5. Select the BACnet communication stack that you want to enable. By default, both the IP stack and MSTP
stack are disabled.

Note: For the MSTP connection, Port 1 is supported. Port 2 does not support BACnet MSTP. EasyIO FS
series is not a BBMD device or BACnet router. The FS BACnet service can register itself to a BBMD device
to receive broadcast messages through the bbmdEnable, bbmdIp, and bbmdTTL properties. If BBMD is not
preset or required in the network, these properties must be blank. If the communications stack is
configured correctly, the status displays OK.
FS Series Baud Rate Supported
9.6k , 19.2K, 38.4K, 76.8K
6. From the easyioFGBACnet object, drag BACnetServerNetwork into the BACnet service object on your app.
Note: The BACnet server and BACnet client object can coexist under the BACnet service object. There can
only be one BACnet service object in a controller. You cannot duplicate the BACnet service object.
7. To view the property on the property sidebar, click the Server Network object and enable the server
network. If the IP service and MSTP service are enabled correctly for the BACnet Service object, the status
displays OK.

8. Drag the BACServerBV, BACServerAV, BACServerMSV, BACServerTrend, or BACSchedule type object under
the Network object. The register object must be a child folder of the network object.
Note: By default, all registers are set to the disabled mode of enable = false. If you want other systems,
such as BACnet client, to discover the register, you must enable each register object in the application. By
default, the registers are named according to the type followed by the address number. To enter a
preferred name for the object, right-click the object and select selObjectName or manually enter the
object name in the property sidebar. The maximum number of characters permitted for objectName is 63.
As shown in the figure, you must also add the instanceNumber object. The instance number limitation is 0
to 512.

9. Use the manual process to link a valid value to the BACnet objects. The BACnet objects do not export any
valid value by themselves. In the following figure, to export a valid temp value as a BACnet object, write
from the temp value to the BACnetAV object.
