If you want to play in the bacnet world that is what it takes. But realistically you should probably bail on bacnet because the product isn’t ready to do it. I have used many bacnet lines and so many features to actually get btl are missing.
Well you can let us know which features are missing and we’ll get it in the pipeline as I mentioned. Priority arrays are already implemented for outputs. You would like to see control basic commands from one controller able to set the priority array in another controller. I was asking you for an example from another system on how this is handled, then I will write this up for the team.
Anything else?

Hey Maurice.
Perhaps I could share some experience of what I’ve seen in a couple of controllers that still use structured text.
When commanding a bacnet point with no modifiers e.g “213001BO1 = VAR11” it will write at the programs global default (usually adjustable either as a setting or by syntax “BacnetPrior = 8” or something of the like. But then they also support the inclusion of a priority modifier e.g “213001BO1 @ 8 = VAR11” will write VAR11 to BO1 at priority 8.
Let me know if there’s a better way I can explain or if there’s anything else I could help share.
