ABB PSTX softstarter with Anybus CompactCom BACnet (MS/TP and IP) BACnet points list
Updated 6 November 2026
The PSTX softstarter talks BACnet MS/TP or BACnet IP through a plug-in Anybus CompactCom module. Binary Values carry run, fault, warning and I/O status plus start/stop, reset, motor heating, emergency mode and relay commands; Analog Values carry mains and motor electrical data, energy, temperatures, event codes and a mailbox for any other parameter. BACnet control starts only after BV 18 Control-Override-Command is set.
This page lists 95 BACnet objects for the ABB PSTX softstarter with Anybus CompactCom BACnet (MS/TP and IP) — 22 of them writable — with each object’s type, instance number, name, engineering units and access. It is re-typed from ABB’s own free documentation, linked below.

BMS integration notes: ABB PSTX softstarter with Anybus CompactCom BACnet (MS/TP and IP)
Set 12.02 FB interface connector = Anybus and a valid device instance in 12.33 (the default 4194303 does not work), plus the IP or MS/TP address. Write BV 18 = On to give BACnet control, then start/stop with BV 10 and reset faults with BV 14. Read run, fault and ready status and the motor current.
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.

| AV 125 | Active-Fault | Active fault code | Read |
Enable & remote start
Write BV 18 Control-Override-Command = 1 (On) to put the softstarter in BACnet control; BACnet then overrides the DI logic for start/stop, motor heating, lock parameters, emergency mode, user-defined trip and stand still brake. Local control from the HMI always has priority. Parameter 12.03 Fieldbus control is not needed for control; it only enables the timeout protection.
Heartbeat & communication loss
BACnet has no built-in timeout. To trip on lost communication set 12.03 Fieldbus control = On, 19.03 Fieldbus failure out (event group), 19.04 Fieldbus failure op (action) and 19.12 Fieldbus failure timeout (seconds without a message).
Network setup
- 12.02 FB interface connector = Anybus.
- 12.33 Fieldbus BACnet Device Instance: 0-4194302; the default 4194303 is invalid and communication will not work.
- BACnet IP: 12.05 IP address; foreign device registration with 12.34 BBMD IP, 12.35 BBMD UDP port and 12.36 registration interval.
- BACnet MS/TP: 12.04 MAC address 0-127; baud 9600-76800.
- Power-cycle, or set 12.02 to None and back to Anybus, after changing communication parameters.
Watch out for
- The HMI local mode always beats BACnet control override.
- Restoring default object names needs a full parameter reset from the HMI, which also resets the communication parameters.
- Device Communication Control default password is Admin.

Integration notes
- Instance gaps are reserved by ABB and do not exist.
- BV 9 Enable-Monitor has no access mark in the manual; listed as read-only.
- AV 125 fault codes include 0 none, 1 high current, 2 phase loss, 3 heat sink overtemperature, 4 bad network quality and more; AV 126 / AV 127 list warning and protection codes the same way (see the manual pp24-25).
- Temperatures are printed as 'in degrees' without a unit; no unit is shown.
- Ranges such as '10 x nominal current' depend on the softstarter size.
- Any other PSTX parameter can be read or written through the mailbox: write its fieldbus ID to AV 25, then read or write AV 26.
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 PSTX softstarter with Anybus CompactCom BACnet (MS/TP and IP) and exports what it actually has to Excel — free.

Questions about the ABB PSTX softstarter with Anybus CompactCom BACnet (MS/TP and IP)
How many BACnet points does the ABB PSTX softstarter with Anybus CompactCom BACnet (MS/TP and IP) have?
This list has 95 BACnet objects: 46 analog values, 49 binary values. The exact set on a given unit depends on its firmware, installed options and configuration.
Which ABB PSTX softstarter with Anybus CompactCom BACnet (MS/TP and IP) BACnet points are writable?
22 of the 95 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.
Where is the official ABB PSTX softstarter with Anybus CompactCom BACnet (MS/TP and IP) BACnet documentation?
The source is Softstarter type PSTX, Fieldbus communication, Anybus CompactCom BACnet MS/TP and BACnet IP (1SFC132381M0201 Rev C), revision 2024-07-27, published free by ABB at https://library.e.abb.com/public/f4d2da121be743f4b4172f7534c2c19c/1SFC132381M0201_PSTX_AB_BACnet.pdf.
What are the minimum BACnet points to integrate the ABB PSTX softstarter with Anybus CompactCom BACnet (MS/TP and IP)?
Start with BV 10 RUN-STOP-Command-[0=Stop][1=Run] (Start / stop command (1 = run)); BV 18 Control-Override-Command-[0=Off][1=On] (Must be On for BACnet to control the starter); BV 14 Event-Reset-Command-[0=No-Reset][1=Reset] (Reset events / faults); BV 0 RUN-STOP-Monitor-[0=Stop][1=Run] (Running status); BV 7 Ready-To-Start-Monitor-[0=Not-Ready][1=Ready] (Ready to start); BV 4 REMOTE-LOCAL-Monitor-[0=Remote][1=Local] (Remote / local mode); AV 4 Output-Current-[A] (Motor current, A); AV 6 Output-Power-[kW] (Output power, kW); BV 2 Fault-Monitor-[0=OK][1=Fault] (Any active fault); AV 125 Active-Fault (Active fault code).
How do I enable BMS control of the ABB PSTX softstarter with Anybus CompactCom BACnet (MS/TP and IP)?
Write BV 18 Control-Override-Command = 1 (On) to put the softstarter in BACnet control; BACnet then overrides the DI logic for start/stop, motor heating, lock parameters, emergency mode, user-defined trip and stand still brake. Local control from the HMI always has priority. Parameter 12.03 Fieldbus control is not needed for control; it only enables the timeout protection.
Does the ABB PSTX softstarter with Anybus CompactCom BACnet (MS/TP and IP) need a BACnet heartbeat or have a communication timeout?
BACnet has no built-in timeout. To trip on lost communication set 12.03 Fieldbus control = On, 19.03 Fieldbus failure out (event group), 19.04 Fieldbus failure op (action) and 19.12 Fieldbus failure timeout (seconds without a message).
How do I check these points on the real PSTX softstarter with Anybus CompactCom BACnet (MS/TP and IP)?
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.
