Network Programming Between Two Temco Controllers

I’m not sure what I’m doing incorrectly but I can’t get point information from a Tstat10 to be read by a T3-TB. Firmware on the TB and Tstat10 are the latest versions. My program line in the TB looks like this:

10 VAR17 = 205675AI9

205675 is the bacnet device id (panel is 12)

I will also be interested in the format for sending a value from the TB to the Tstat10

Thank you

Fandu will check on this. THis is definitely suppposed to work but I am not 100% sure on subnets now that you ask.

In fact you should be able to use the label ‘OAT’ in any panel of the system. Fandu is telling me he needs some time to check on this.

The only possible non - functioning part I can detect might be the Modbus RS485 you’re using. Additionally, there are many other situations that could cause the inability to read 205675AI9. I need some more detailed usage instructions, such as the connection method, baud rate, protocol, and so on.

Just use the intrinsic method. If the TB is panel1 and the Tstat10 is panel 2, you can share points between the two controllers:

This program will read input1 on the Tstat10 (panel2) and store the value in local variable 1 (panel1).

10 1VAR1 = 2IN1

Going a step futher, you dont even need the local variable, just use the remote points in your program as they are:

10 IF 2IN1 > SETPT THEN START 1OUT1
20 IF 2IN1 < SETPT -1 THEN STOP 1OUT1
