Our BACnet Driver currently has a few limitations, as it was originally intended to provide simple connectivity to directly connected IP devices and simple objects, such as Analog/Digital Inputs/Outputs/Values. For the release with version 12, we added support for all standard object types and properties that return primitive values, as well as routing to serial and IP networks.
Advanced features, such as network and device discovery, foreign devices and properties with complex values will be added in the future, but we still can't anticipate a date.
That said, assuming that the device is directly reachable, you just need to configure a UDP port with it's IP address and port (likely 47808 ) and add it to the driver's Port field. Network should be set to "Local Network - Same as VTScada", unless the device is behind a BACnet router (check the help files for how to set up a routed device).
According to the device's manual, connected sensors should map to common BACnet objects, such as Analog and Binary Inputs. Unfortunately, we still can't read the device's object list, but should be able to address them by clicking on the Address Assist button on the I/O tag's Read Address field and select the corresponding object type and instance number, per the device's mapping (Present_Value is the default property assumed).
