__TOC__
This article contains instructions on how to set up BACnet on Teltonika Networks devices.
+
==Summary==
 +
In this guide, the MQTT Serial Gateway function will be configured using third-party MQTT Broker services (in this example, ''Flespi.io'').
   −
==Configuration overview and prerequisites==
+
==Configuration overview & prerequisites==
 +
*Two devices with serials ports - one acts as Modbus RTU Master, another as Modbus RTU Slave;
 +
*Flespi.io account to act as an MQTT Broker/Publisher/Subscriber (for first configuration example);
   −
Before we begin, let's take a look at the configuration that we are attempting to achieve and the prerequisites that make it possible.
+
[[File:MQTT Serial gateway topology v2.png|border|center|class=tlt-border|847x279px]]
   −
'''Prerequisites''':
+
RUT2 will act as a Modbus RTU slave and RUT1 as a Modbus RTU Master. On RUT1, MQTT Serial Gateway will be configured to transfer Modbus data over MQTT. Flespi.io platform will serve as an MQTT Broker
* Two RUT955;
  −
* BACnet controller;
  −
* Server;
  −
* An end device (PC, Laptop) for configuration;
     −
If you're having trouble finding any page or some of the parameters described here on your device's WebUI, you should turn on '''"Advanced WebUI"''' mode. You can do that by '''clicking''' the '''"Basic"''' button '''under''' '''"Mode,"''' which is located at the top-right corner of the WebUI.

Install the BACnet package on RUT955 and navigate to '''Services → BACnet''' and '''enable''' the '''instance'''. Everything else can be left as default or changed according to your needs.
+
Go to Services → Modbus → Modbus RTU Slave and create a new instance.
 +
# Enter the '''desired instance name''';
 +
# Select the '''desired serial interface'''.

----
For the server, Yet Another BACnet Explorer (YABE) is used. YABE is an open-source BACnet Explorer that is designed to be lightweight, fast, and easy to use.
+
Go to '''Services → Modbus → MQTT Gateway''' and there:
 
  −
Open the software and '''click''' on the '''green plus sign''' to add a new device. Then a new window will pop up, there select '''local endpoint IP address ''' and click '''start'''. Everything else cane be left as default or changed according to your needs.
     −
[[File:Yabe configuration add device fixed.png|border|center|class=tlt-border|639x203px]]
+
# '''Enable''' the '''instance''';
 +
# '''Enter Host''' (copied from flespi connection settings without 'wss://' and port);
 +
# '''Enter Username''' (Copied from flespi Connection settings generated '''token''');
 +
# '''Enter Password'''.
   −
Select newly created communication node and right - click on it to send '''WhoIs''' request (application  might send these automatically).

----
In case of success you see the connected BACnet device and its parameters.
+
Under the MQTT Gateway configuration, create the Serial Gateway:
 +
# Enter the '''desired device ID''';
 +
# Select the '''desired serial interface'''.

== BACnet/IP configuration ==
+
===Configuring Flespi.io MQTT Broker===
This is the most commonly used type of BACnet, which is designed to work over Ethernet networks using the Internet Protocol (IP). It supports both IPv4 and IPv6 addressing.
  −
 
  −
[[File:BACnet Topology 2.png|border|center|class=tlt-border|619x230px]]
  −
 
  −
For this configuration you must have a Public IP address. You can read up more on this in our article on '''[[Private and Public IP Addresses]]'''.
  −
 
  −
=== Router 1 ===
   
----
 
----
 +
'''Log in''' or '''create an account''' on '''https://flespi.io''';
   −
==== BACnet ====
+
#Navigate to '''MQTT Board''' on the '''left side''' menu;                                       
----
+
#On the right-hand panel, top right corner, next to the name of the MQTT board, '''press the cogwheel-looking icon''' to open ''Connection Settings'';
Install the BACnet package on RUT955 and navigate to '''Services → BACnet''' '''enable''' the '''instance'''. Everything else can be left as default or changed according to your needs.
+
#In the opened window, press '''"Get flespi token"''' to generate a username;
 +
#Enter the '''Client name''';
 +
#Copy the Host address;
 +
#Copy '''Username''';
 +
#Create a '''password'''.

==== Firewall ====
+
===Message format for MQTT publisher===
 
----
 
----
The configuration will also require you to add port forward rule in the firewall configuration. To do that, open Router1 WebUI and navigate to '''Network → Firewall → Port Forwards'''. Create a port forward rule to forward UDP packets from Router2 WAN to Router1 LAN address port.
+
Modbus request data sent in the MQTT payload should be generated in accordance with the following format:
 
  −
[[File:Router1 firewall port forward.png|border|center|class=tlt-border|797x617px]]
  −
 
  −
# '''Enable''' instance
  −
# '''Name''' - enter desired name
  −
# '''Protocol''' - UDP
  −
# '''Source zone''' - WAN
  −
# '''External port''' - YABE port
  −
# '''Internal zone''' - LAN
  −
# '''Internal IP address''' - PC LAN IP
  −
# '''Internal port''' - YABE port
     −
'''Note''': When YABE sends registration packets you will need to find out which port YABE is using (One way is to look through the traffic with wireshark on your PC or TCP dump on router 1 or router 2)
+
<pre>1 <COOKIE> <SERIAL_DEVICE_ID> <TIMEOUT> <SLAVE_ID> <MODBUS_FUNCTION> <FIRST_REGISTER> <REGISTER_COUNT> </pre>
   −
If you restart YABE software or delete and create new communication device, YABE might use different port number, and you will need to change port forward configured in router connected to your PC.
+
The table below explains what each option means:

Navigate to '''Services → BACnet''', there:
+
To test the Modbus Serial Gateway functionality, '''log into''' your '''Flespi account''' '''MQTT Board''' and '''add a Subscriber''':
 
  −
# '''Enable''' BACnet
  −
# '''Enable''' BBMD
  −
# '''BBMD interface''' - select the interface with Public IP.
  −
# '''Enable Port forward''' - this will automatically create a port forward rule.
     −
[[File:BACnet enabled BBMD.png|border|center|class=tlt-border|746x305px]]
