Device object

Your meter has a Device object which describes the meter to the BACnet network.

The following table outlines the properties of the Device object, whether a property is read-only or read-write, and if the value of the property is stored in the meter’s nonvolatile onboard memory.

Device object property	R/W	Stored	Possible values	Description
Object_Identifier	R/W	Y	See description	The unique device ID number for the meter, in the format of `<device, #>`. The meter ships from the factory with a device ID equal to the last 6 digits of the serial number.
Object_Name	R/W	Y	See description	A configurable name for the meter. The meter ships from the factory with a name of `<model name>_<serial number>` (for example, PM5320 _0000000000).
Object_Type	R	—	Device	The object type for the meter.
System_Status	R	—	Operational	This value of this property is always Operational.
Vendor_Name	R	—	Schneider Electric	Meter manufacturer
Vendor_Identifier	R	—	10	The BACnet vendor identifier for Schneider Electric .
Model_Name	R	—	varies	Device model (for example, PM5320 ) and serial number in the format `<model name>_<serial number>` (for example, PM5320 _0000000000).
Firmware_Revision	R	—	varies	BACnet firmware version, stored in an x.x.x format (for example, 1.9.0).
Application_Software_Version	R	—	varies	Meter firmware version, stored in an x.x.x format (for example, 1.0.305).
Description	R/W	Y	configurable	Optional description of the meter, limited to 64 characters.
Location	R/W	Y	configurable	Optional description of the meter’s location, limited to 64 characters.
Protocol_Version	R	—	varies	BACnet protocol version (for example, version 1)
Protocol_Revision	R	—	varies	BACnet protocol revision (for example, revision 14)
Protocol_Services_Supported	R	—	0000 0100 0000 1011 1100 1000 0000 0000 0110 0000 0	The BACnet services supported by the meter: subscribeCOV, readProperty, readPropertyMultiple, writeProperty, writePropertyMultiple, deviceCommunicationControl, ReinitializeDevice, who-HAS, who-Is
Protocol_Object_Types_Supported	R	—	1001 0000 1000 0100 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 000	The BACnet object types supported by the meter: analog input, binary input, multi-state input, device.
Object_list	R	—	See description	List of objects in the meter.
Max_APDU_Length_Accepted	R	—	1476	The maximum packet size (or application protocol data unit) that the meter can accept, in bytes.
Segmentation_Supported	R	—	0x03	The meter does not support segmentation.
Local_Date	R	—	varies	Current date on the meter NOTE: Use the display or ION Setup to set the meter’s date.
Local_Time	R	—	varies	Current time on the meter NOTE: Use the display or ION Setup to set the meter’s time.
APDU_Timeout	R/W	Y	1000 – 30000	The amount of time (in milliseconds) before the meter tries to resend a confirmed message that has not been answered.
Number_Of_APDU_Retries	R/W	Y	1 – 10	The number of times the meter tries to resend an unanswered confirmed request.
Device_Address_Binding	R	—	—	Device address binding table is always blank because the meter does not initiate the who-Is service.
Database_Revision	R	Y	varies	A number that increments when the object database on the meter changes (for example, when an object is created or deleted or the ID of an object changes).
Active_COV_Subscriptions	R	—	varies	List of COV subscriptions currently active on the meter.
Profile_Name	R	—	varies	Device identifier that records the meter manufacturer, the meter family and the specific meter model (for example, 10-PM5000-PM5320 ).
