BACnetUnconfTextMessage (FUN) ¶ FUNCTION BACnetUnconfTextMessage : IEC_BACNET_STATUS Sends an unconfirmed TextMessage. Sends an Unconfirmed-Text-Message service request to remote device. This service may be broadcast, multicast, or addressed to a single recipient. This service may be used in cases where confirmation that the text message was received is not required. Message may be prioritized into Normal or Urgent categories. A text message may be optionally classified by a numeric class code or class identification string. The interpretation of the class is a local matter. InOut: Scope Name Type Comment Return BACnetUnconfTextMessage IEC_BACNET_STATUS Input pSourceAddress POINTER TO IEC_BACNET_ADDRESS If the BACnet application has only one device constructed and installed, this can be NULL. In this case the MAC address of this device will be used. Otherwise this shall be the MAC address returned on device object construction. pDestinationAddress POINTER TO IEC_BACNET_ADDRESS This is the MAC address of the device to which the request should be sent. pServiceInfo POINTER TO IEC_BACNET_TEXT_MESSAGE_INFO A pointer to the service information data structure. This data structure of datatype BACNET_TEXT_MESSAGE_INFO contains an object Identifier of device object of the request initiator, a boolen if Message Class Present attribute, a message class, a message priority, a message string type and a message string.

This argument is omitted from the request if both parameters have the value “BACNET_NO_FILTER” (use -1). objectSpec POINTER TO IEC_BACNET_WHO_HAS_PARAM A pointer to a data structure which includes either the Object Identifier or Object Name of the object which is requested, and a tag field that indicates which of these two possibilities was chosen.

BACnetWhoIs (FUN) ¶ FUNCTION BACnetWhoIs : IEC_BACNET_STATUS Sends a who-Is request. Sends a BACnet Who-Is request to a local or remote device or network. This routine allows an application to discover BACnet Devices for which the Address isn’t known previously. In a simple network with only one LAN using ARCNET or Ethernet, a minimum delay of 1 second is adequate, but higher values may be appropriate in some situations. InOut: Scope Name Type Comment Return BACnetWhoIs IEC_BACNET_STATUS A status indicating whether the operation worked. Input pSourceAddress POINTER TO IEC_BACNET_ADDRESS If the BACnet application has only one device constructed and installed, this can be 0. In this case the MAC address of this device will be used. Otherwise this shall be the MAC address returned on device object construction. pDestinationAddress POINTER TO IEC_BACNET_ADDRESS This is the MAC address of the device to which the request should be sent. filterMin IEC_BACNET_DWORD Optional argument for the Who-Is request, which limit the lower range of Device instance numbers expected to respond to the Who-Is request. This argument is omitted from the request if both parameters have the value “BACNET_NO_FILTER” (use -1). filterMax IEC_BACNET_DWORD Optional argument for the Who-Is request, which limit the upper range of Device instance numbers expected to respond to the Who-Is request. This argument is omitted from the request if both parameters have the value “BACNET_NO_FILTER” (use -1).

BACnetWriteFile (FUN) ¶ FUNCTION BACnetWriteFile : IEC_BACNET_STATUS Sends an AtomicWriteFile request. Write an octet string into a specified position in a specified file. The file may be accessed as records or as a stream of octets. Choice is defined by the value of File_Access_Method property of the File object. Since the present version of this API does not support default processing of this service, the destination has to include a hook procedure to process it. This routine may control APDU properties like APDU length, segmentation, and timeout for both request and in response. This routine can execute asynchronously, i.e. this routine will return to the caller before the BACnet reply comes so that the applications can keep running. In this case the response information will be received by the thread which is responsible for receiving asynchronous responses. An optional BACNET_WRITE_FILE_COMPLETE_CB routine, which is provided by the BACnet application, shall be used to process this information. If a number of asynchronous requests are sent, the responses shall be queued and identified by the transaction handles. If the application does not supply the BACNET_WRITE_FILE_COMPLETE_CB routine; then the BACnetWriteFile routine sends a request and waits for reply.

BACnetWriteGroup (FUN) ¶ FUNCTION BACnetWriteGroup : IEC_BACNET_STATUS Sends an unconfirmed WriteGroup request. The WriteGroup service is used by a sending BACnet-user to update arbitrary Channel objects Present_Value properties for a particular numbered control group. The WriteGroup service is an unconfirmed service. Upon receipt of a WriteGroup service request, all devices that are members of the specified control group shall write to their corresponding Channel objects Present_Value properties with the value applicable to the Channel Number, if any. A device shall be considered to be a member of a control group if that device has one or more Channel objects for which the ‘Group Number’ from the service appears in its Control_Groups property. If the receiving device does not contain one or more Channel objects with matching channel numbers, then those values shall be ignored. The WriteGroup service may be unicast, multicast, broadcast locally, on a particular remote network, or using the global BACnet network address. Because global broadcasts are generally discouraged, the use of multiple directed broadcasts is preferred. InOut: Scope Name Type Comment Return BACnetWriteGroup IEC_BACNET_STATUS Input pSourceAddress POINTER TO IEC_BACNET_ADDRESS If the BACnet application has only one device constructed and installed, this can be NULL. In this case the MAC address of this device will be used.

This routine can execute asynchronously, i.e. this routine will return to the caller before the BACnet reply comes so that the applications can keep running. In this case the response information will be received by the thread which is responsible for receiving asynchronous responses. An optional BACNET_SIMPLE_ACK_COMPLETE_CB routine, which is provided by the application, shall be used to process this information. If a number of asynchronous requests are sent, the responses shall be queued and identified by the transaction handles.
