Release notes

Version : 2.5.0​

Important note about BACnet data migration

As the BACnet mapping strategy has been totally reworked in release 2.5.0, the existing BACnet objects (created in previous releases) are automatically deleted after upgrading to TAO 2.5.0.

After the upgrade, users must go to the BACnet dataflow configuration to select which device models should expose their measurements as BACnet objects. To learn more, see Setting up the BACnet flow.

New Features​

  • RDTP-23873: [BACnet] Enhanced object definition and mapping

    • TAO users choose which device models expose their measurements as BACnet objects, in the user interface.

    • Besides activating BACnet specifically for each device model, TAO users can directly select which properties are exposed as BACnet objects, together with the target COV increment value for analog inputs. The related objects are immediately created in TAO, without waiting for the reception of uplink packets from each device.

      note

      In release 2.5.0, this feature is available only for the following models:

      • Thermokon MCS, NOVOS-3 and SAB07

      • MClimate Vicki

      • Watteco (all models)

      • Enless (all models)

      For any other model, if the user activates BACnet on a specific model, TAO creates the related objects on the fly, upon receiving uplink packets from each device associated with this model.

    For more details, see Setting up the BACnet flow.

  • Support downlink encoding for Watteco and Enless models

  • Update of device and driver catalogs:

    • Update the Device Profile catalog to version 7.48.1 and the Driver catalog to version 3.35.0

Fixed Bugs​

  • RDTP-24368: Automatically delete BACnet points when the related device is deleted from TAO

  • RDTP-24780: Network interfaces that are not configured by the user should be displayed with a Not configured grey badge instead of Disconnected red badge in the Status widget.

  • RDTP-24815: Sporadic overload of Kerlink gateways due to a missing configuration file

  • RDTP-24985: Errors should not be stacked in the user interface when the user is disconnected due to inactivity.

  • The BACnet flow is not properly disabled when the related switch is deactivated by the user.

  • Update of the BACnet vendor-ID to use 1562 (allocated to Actility by the BACnet committee)
