27 Sep 2022

PLEASE NOTE: HMS Networks doesn't own YABE software and doesn't support it, this document is intended as a guide.

 

This article offers an option on how to configure advanced settings of a BACnet MS/TP device.

BACnet MS/TP devices that cannot be configured with MAPS, the devices can be configured with the BACnet explorer program, YABE

 

APPLICABLE PRODUCTS

  • Intesis AC Interfaces BACnet MS/TP (IN485DAI001I000, IN485DAI001R000, INBACFGL001I100, IN485HIT001R000, IN485UNI001I100, INBACMID001I100, IN485MIT001I000, INBACMHI001R100, INBACPAN001R100, INBACPAN001I100, INBACSAM001R100, INBACTOS001R100).

PRE-REQUISITES

Intesis BACnet MS/TP Device

Windows PC with YABE installed

USB-to-Serial Adapter for PC

 

Installing YABE

YABE can be downloaded from https://sourceforge.net/projects/yetanotherbacnetexplorer/. A USB-to-Serial converter should be connected to the BACnet MS/TP port on the Intesis Device. In YABE, clicking the + icon will add a new device. This will open a window where the correct COM port and serial settings can be set. Then YABE will scan to find the Intesis Device. 

 

Using YABE

YABE is a BACnet explorer, but can also be used to configure BACnet settings, like 'Max Masters':
