ABB ACS800 drive (ProtoNode FPC-N54 profile) BACnet points list
Updated 7 November 2026Unofficial source
The ProtoNode FPC-N54 reads an ACS800 drive over Modbus RTU and serves 50 BACnet objects: references, ramp times and PID tuning as AVs, drive measurements and I/O status as AIs and BIs, and start/stop, alarm reset, EXT1/EXT2 select and relay commands as BVs. Select profile 1 (ACS800) in the gateway's web configurator.
This page lists 50 BACnet objects for the ABB ACS800 drive (ProtoNode FPC-N54 profile) — 14 of them writable — with each object’s type, instance number, name, engineering units and access. It is re-typed from a copy of ABB’s documentation hosted by Baltimore Aircoil Company, not by ABB itself, so treat it as unofficial.

BMS integration notes: ABB ACS800 drive (ProtoNode FPC-N54 profile)
Set the drive to take start/stop and reference 1 from the fieldbus, then write START/STOP and REFERENCE 1 COMMAND and read speed, current, ready and tripped status.
Minimum points to map
The short list most integrators start with — enough to run the unit from a BMS. Map more as the job needs.
| Object | Name | Why | Access |
|---|---|---|---|
| BV 1 | START/STOP | Start/stop command | Write |
| AV 1 | REFERENCE 1 COMMAND | Speed reference 1 | Write |
| BV 2 | ALARM RESET | Fault reset | Write |
| BI 2 | RUN ENABLED | Run enabled status | Read |
| AI 1 | MOTOR SPEED | Motor speed | Read |
| AI 3 | CURRENT | Motor current | Read |
| AI 21 | POWER | Drive power | Read |
| BI 3 | TRIPPED | Drive tripped (fault) | Read |
| BI 4 | ALARM | Drive alarm | Read |
Enable & remote start
For BACnet control set parameter 10.01 EXT1 STRT/STP/DIR = COMM.CW and 11.03 EXT REF1 SELECT = COMM.REF; for monitoring only, skip these.
Network setup
- Drive Modbus via RMBA-01: 98.02 = STD Modbus, 52.01 = 1, 52.02 = 19.2 kbps, 52.03 = NONE1STOPBIT, then power-cycle the drive.
- Choose profile 1 (ACS800) in the ProtoNode web configurator.
- ProtoNode default IP address 192.168.1.24, subnet 255.255.255.0; it serves BACnet IP or BACnet MS/TP.
Watch out for
- Direction control is not available over BACnet.
- Access is not printed for this profile; confirm writes on site.

Integration notes
- The ACS800 table lists only object IDs and names; access is inferred (AV/BV writable, AI/BI read-only).
- No units, ranges or state texts are printed for this profile.
- Object names keep the guide's spelling (REFERNECE, FREQUENCEY, STAUTS, KWN).
- Direction control is not offered over BACnet; wire it to the drive if needed.
Check it against the live device. A points list tells you what the controller can expose; the unit in front of you may differ by firmware or installed options. This list is provided as-is for reference only and may contain mistakes — confirming it before you write, map or commission anything is up to you (terms). Easy BACnet scans a network for BACnet IP devices from an Android phone, reads every object on the ACS800 drive (ProtoNode FPC-N54 profile) and exports what it actually has to Excel — free.

Questions about the ABB ACS800 drive (ProtoNode FPC-N54 profile)
How many BACnet points does the ABB ACS800 drive (ProtoNode FPC-N54 profile) have?
This list has 50 BACnet objects: 21 analog inputs, 8 analog values, 15 binary inputs, 6 binary values. The exact set on a given unit depends on its firmware, installed options and configuration.
Which ABB ACS800 drive (ProtoNode FPC-N54 profile) BACnet points are writable?
14 of the 50 objects accept a write. Points marked Command have a priority array: a write holds until it is released, so release it back to automatic when you are done. The source has no read/write column, so this is inferred from object type.
Where is the official ABB ACS800 drive (ProtoNode FPC-N54 profile) BACnet documentation?
ABB does not publish it on its own website. This list comes from ProtoNode FPC-N54 Start-up Guide For Interfacing ABB Products: ACS800, ACS880, ACS880-CTDD, revision Document Revision 3.C, February 2020 (Web Configurator Template Revision 4), a copy hosted by Baltimore Aircoil Company at https://baltimoreaircoil.com/download_api_endpoint/1089/gatewaybacnetacs880protonodefpc-n54startupguide_20200709.pdf. Ask ABB or its representative for the current revision.
What are the minimum BACnet points to integrate the ABB ACS800 drive (ProtoNode FPC-N54 profile)?
Start with BV 1 START/STOP (Start/stop command); AV 1 REFERENCE 1 COMMAND (Speed reference 1); BV 2 ALARM RESET (Fault reset); BI 2 RUN ENABLED (Run enabled status); AI 1 MOTOR SPEED (Motor speed); AI 3 CURRENT (Motor current); AI 21 POWER (Drive power); BI 3 TRIPPED (Drive tripped (fault)); BI 4 ALARM (Drive alarm).
How do I enable BMS control of the ABB ACS800 drive (ProtoNode FPC-N54 profile)?
For BACnet control set parameter 10.01 EXT1 STRT/STP/DIR = COMM.CW and 11.03 EXT REF1 SELECT = COMM.REF; for monitoring only, skip these.
How do I check these points on the real ACS800 drive (ProtoNode FPC-N54 profile)?
Scan the network with a BACnet IP browser such as Easy BACnet, open the device and compare its object list with this table. Anything missing is usually an option that isn't installed or a point that is disabled in the controller's configuration.
