BACnet Server Example in TypeScript

A BACnet Server Example written in TypeScript using the CAS BACnet Stack. This is a basic server example and does not include all of the functionality of the CAS BACnet Stack. See BACnetServerExampleCPP for a full featured example.

Use the Chipkin BACnet Explorer to discover this device.

Supported CAS BACnet Stack Version

This example project uses version 5.1.0.2541-21 of the CAS BACnet Stack

Building

NPM login to Chipkin Gitlab instance for the CAS BACnet Stack.

echo @chipkin:registry=https://gitlab.com/api/v4/packages/npm/ >> .npmrc
npm i typescript --save-dev
npm install
npm run start

Notes

The value is not defined in the database

The CAS BACnet Stack requests a value for all requested properties using a CallBackGetProperty function. If that callback function returns a false. A default will be used. It is normal to have The value is not defined in the database warnings as the default will be used for these properties.

Example:

GetPropertyUnsignedInteger deviceInstance: 389055, objectType: 8, objectInstance: 389055, propertyIdentifier: 62, useArrayIndex: false, propertyArrayIndex: 0
The value is not defined in the database.
