BACNET INTEGRATION MANUAL FOR TB7600 SERIES THERMOSTATS
Recommended Configuration Objects
The following objects and group objects should be typically used for configuration purposes. If your BAS allows you to remove
objects from your database, Honeywell recommends removing all configuration objects once your setup is complete. This will
prevent unnecessary polling of unused objects and will help speed up the network.

Default Device Name and default Device ID
Default Device Name is set to: Model number – MAC:
•
•
Where MAC is the current MAC address of the device.
Where Model number is Honeywell part number.
The device name will be upgraded as soon as there is a change to the device MAC address.
•
•
Default Device ID is set to: 76000 + MAC
Where MAC is the current MAC address of the device.
The device ID will also be upgraded as soon as there is a change to the device’s MAC.
For example, when a TB7600B5x14B thermostat with a MAC address of 63 is connected to a network, its default Device Name
will be TB7600B5x14B-63 and its default Device ID will be 76063.
Device Name and Device ID properties are writable in Honeywell device object. Both properties can be renamed from any
BACnet network management tool as long as the tool itself can write to these properties.
Integrating Honeywell Devices on an MS/TP Network
Before doing any BACnet integration, make sure to have Honeywell PICS (Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement).
This PICS document lists all the BACnet Services and Object types supported by a device and can be found at http://
customer.honeywell.com.
The TB7600 Series does not support the COV service. COV reporting allows an object to send out notices when its Present-
Value property is incremented by a pre-defined value. Since this is not supported at Honeywell end, special attention should be
given to the polling time settings at the Supervisory Controller and Workstation level when using a graphic interface or an
application program to read or write to a Honeywell object.
Graphical interfaces
rd
For example, some graphic interface might poll every data linked to the graphic page on a COV basis. If the 3 party device does
not support COV, the graphic interface then relies on a pre-configured polling interval, which is usually in hundredths of
milliseconds. Any device containing a monitored object could be subject to network traffic congestion if such a polling interval is
used. Honeywell strongly recommends a polling interval of 5 seconds minimum for any graphic interface. This becomes even
more critical in area graphics where a single representation might poll many devices. If proper poll rate is not respected, devices
may be reported offline by certain front end by saturating the traffic handling capacity of BACnet MS/TP without COV
subscription.
