<div class="markdown_content"><p>Hello,<br/> another question... Is there a way to use a bacnet property directly in visualisation? <br/> When I create bacnet analog value object, I can change Analog_value.presentvalue from watch and see the change in bacnet tool (YABE) and vice versa... but when I PUT Analog_value.presentvalue in vusualisation i get an error: </p> <div class="codehilite"><pre><span></span><span class="n">C0032</span><span class="o">:</span> <span class="n">Cannot</span> <span class="n">convert</span> <span class="n">type</span> <span class="s1">'Unknown type: '</span><span class="n">ADR</span><span class="o">(</span><span class="n">BACNETANALOGVALUE</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="na">__GETPRESENTVALUE</span><span class="o">)</span><span class="s1">''</span> <span class="n">to</span> <span class="n">type</span> <span class="s1">'POINTER TO BYTE'</span> </pre></div> <p>Any help would be greately appreciated.</p> <p>BR<br/> E</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>Hello!</p> <p>I am having some real issues trying to understand how BACnet works in codesys (or in general)... I am used to working with modbus IO modules so I have no idea what I am doing right now. I have a BACnet IO module with 4 digital outputs that I am trying to control. I can see the module and control the outputs with YABE software,but I have no clue how to do that with codesys. What is the logic here? Do I make the same objects that are on my IO module in codesys or do I need a client on the codesys side to communicate with IO module objects. I know It is probably a dumb question, but I just need some push in the right direction to figure this out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.</p> <p>BR<br/> E</p></div>
