AERCO Benchmark / Innovation Edge controller - BST Manager plant objects BACnet points list

Updated 12 November 2026Unofficial source

Short answer

When an Edge controller is the BST (Boiler Sequencing Technology) Manager it serves extra BACnet objects for the whole plant on top of its own unit objects: plant status and setpoints as Analog Inputs, plant settings as writable Analog Values, a read-only block for each of up to 16 BST units, and readings from up to 6 SmartPlate water heaters. BACnet IP runs on the Ethernet port and BACnet MS/TP on the RS-485 BAS port.

This page lists 100 BACnet objects for the AERCO Benchmark / Innovation Edge controller - BST Manager plant objects — 37 of them writable — with each object’s type, instance number, name, engineering units and access. It is re-typed from a copy of AERCO’s documentation hosted by Watts staging media server, not by AERCO itself, so treat it as unofficial.

BMS integration notes: AERCO Benchmark / Innovation Edge controller - BST Manager plant objects

Integration in brief

Connect the BAS to the BST Manager only. Check Allow BAS to Write (AV 51), then drive the plant with Remote Disable Code (AV 229) and the plant remote setpoint (AV 200); read plant status, header temperature, firing rate and the per-unit blocks.

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.

AI 108Units FaultedNumber of units in faultRead
AI 301unit StatusUnit 1 status (5 = fault)Read

Enable & remote start

Allow BAS to Write (AV 51, 0-1) controls BAS write access. The plant is disabled by writing 85 to Remote Disable Code (AV 229) and enabled with 0; this needs Allow System Disable = Yes under Advanced Setup > Comm & Network > BAS.

Heartbeat & communication loss

Network Timeout (AV 53) is 5-999 s; the manual lists it but these tables do not describe the fallback action.

Sensors & values from the BMS

Header, return header, DHW header and outdoor temperatures can be written by the BAS (AV 214, AV 216, AV 206, AV 218) when their sensor source (AV 213, AV 215, AV 205, AV 217) is set to BAS.

Integration notes

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 Benchmark / Innovation Edge controller - BST Manager plant objects and exports what it actually has to Excel — free.

Questions about the AERCO Benchmark / Innovation Edge controller - BST Manager plant objects

How many BACnet points does the AERCO Benchmark / Innovation Edge controller - BST Manager plant objects have?

This list has 100 BACnet objects: 63 analog inputs, 37 analog values. The exact set on a given unit depends on its firmware, installed options and configuration.

Which AERCO Benchmark / Innovation Edge controller - BST Manager plant objects BACnet points are writable?

37 of the 100 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 AERCO Benchmark / Innovation Edge controller - BST Manager plant objects BACnet documentation?

AERCO does not publish it on its own website. This list comes from Edge Communication Manual for Systems Integrators (OMM-0140J), revision 2025-11-04, a copy hosted by Watts staging media server at https://stagesc10.watts.com/dfsmedia/0533dbba17714b1ab581ab07a4cbb521/650538-source. Ask AERCO or its representative for the current revision.

What are the minimum BACnet points to integrate the AERCO Benchmark / Innovation Edge controller - BST Manager plant objects?

Start with AV 229 Remote Disable Code (0 = enable plant, 85 = disable plant); AV 200 Plant Remote Setpoint (Plant remote setpoint, 20-245 °F); AV 51 Allow BAS to Write (BAS write permission (0-1)); AI 114 Act Setpt (Active plant setpoint); AI 110 Header Temp (Header temperature); AI 112 BST Fire Rate (Plant firing rate, %); AI 113 Units Ignited (Units firing); AI 108 Units Faulted (Number of units in fault); AI 301 unit Status (Unit 1 status (5 = fault)).

How do I enable BMS control of the AERCO Benchmark / Innovation Edge controller - BST Manager plant objects?

Allow BAS to Write (AV 51, 0-1) controls BAS write access. The plant is disabled by writing 85 to Remote Disable Code (AV 229) and enabled with 0; this needs Allow System Disable = Yes under Advanced Setup > Comm & Network > BAS.

Does the AERCO Benchmark / Innovation Edge controller - BST Manager plant objects need a BACnet heartbeat or have a communication timeout?

Network Timeout (AV 53) is 5-999 s; the manual lists it but these tables do not describe the fallback action.

Can the BMS supply sensor values to the AERCO Benchmark / Innovation Edge controller - BST Manager plant objects?

Header, return header, DHW header and outdoor temperatures can be written by the BAS (AV 214, AV 216, AV 206, AV 218) when their sensor source (AV 213, AV 215, AV 205, AV 217) is set to BAS.

How do I check these points on the real Benchmark / Innovation Edge controller - BST Manager plant objects?

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.
