Badger Meter VN2000 vortex flow meter (BACnet MS/TP) BACnet points list
Updated 6 November 2026
The VN2000 vortex meter has an optional BACnet MS/TP interface with a short fixed object list: flow or energy rate, net totalizer, two temperatures and pressure, plus a totalizer reset. Flow and energy units follow the meter setup.
This page lists 6 BACnet objects for the Badger Meter VN2000 vortex flow meter (BACnet MS/TP) — 1 of them writable — with each object’s type, instance number, name, engineering units and access. It is re-typed from Badger Meter’s own free documentation, linked below.

BMS integration notes: Badger Meter VN2000 vortex flow meter (BACnet MS/TP)
Set the MS/TP baud, MAC (0-127) and device ID from the keypad in program mode level 2, then read flow or energy rate (AI 1), the totalizer and temperatures.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AI 1 | Flow Rate(Flow Model) / Energy Rate (BTU Model) | Flow rate, or energy rate on BTU models | Read |
| PIV 2 | Net Totalizer | Net totalized flow or energy | Read |
| AI 3 | Temperature 1 | Supply temperature (BTU models) | Read |
| AI 4 | Temperature 2 (BTU) | Return temperature (BTU models) | Read |
| AI 5 | Pressure | Process pressure | Read |
Network setup
- Baud 9600, 19,200, 38,400 or 76,800 (per the intro; the PICS lists 19,200-115,200), MAC 0-127 and device ID 0-4194302 are set on the keypad.
- Bus length up to 4000 ft; the meter does not terminate the line.
Watch out for
- Writing BV 1 resets the totalizer.
- On meters with a manual temperature or pressure override, the AI returns the override value, not a live reading.
Badger Meter VN2000 vortex flow meter (BACnet MS/TP) BACnet objects
Type: AI, AO, AV, BI, BO, BV, MI/MO/MV (multi-state) · Access: Read read-only, Write writable, Command writable with a priority array.
Note: the source document has no read/write column, so access here is inferred from the object type (inputs read-only, values writable). Confirm on the live controller before writing.
| Description | States | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| BV | 1 | Reset Totalizer | Resets the totalizer | Write | ||
| AImin | 1 | Flow Rate(Flow Model) / Energy Rate (BTU Model) | Flow rate, or energy rate on BTU models | gal, L, ft3, m3, lb, kg, BTU, kBTU, ton per s/min/h/day | Read | |
| PIVmin | 2 | Net Totalizer | Net totalized flow or energy | Read | ||
| AImin | 3 | Temperature 1 | Temperature (supply temperature on BTU models) | °C / °F | Read | |
| AImin | 4 | Temperature 2 (BTU) | Return temperature on BTU models | °C / °F | Read | |
| AImin | 5 | Pressure | Pressure used in the flow calculation | psig / bar | Read |

Object ID lookup: Badger Meter VN2000 vortex flow meter point IDs by name
Integration notes
- Points from Table 1 of the protocol manual; the table gives a description per object rather than a separate object name.
- The object table lists the reset as BV-1, but the PICS in the same manual lists a Binary Output instead of a Binary Value; check on the meter.
- Temperature and pressure values may be manual override values or not live on meters without the matching sensor.
- No access column; access is inferred from object type.
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 VN2000 vortex flow meter (BACnet MS/TP) and exports what it actually has to Excel — free.

Questions about the Badger Meter VN2000 vortex flow meter (BACnet MS/TP)
How many BACnet points does the Badger Meter VN2000 vortex flow meter (BACnet MS/TP) have?
This list has 6 BACnet objects: 4 analog inputs, 1 binary value, 1 positive integer value. The exact set on a given unit depends on its firmware, installed options and configuration.
Which Badger Meter VN2000 vortex flow meter (BACnet MS/TP) BACnet points are writable?
1 of the 6 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 Badger Meter VN2000 vortex flow meter (BACnet MS/TP) BACnet documentation?
The source is VN2000 Flow Meters - BACnet MS/TP Communication Protocol (VRX-UM-02583-EN-03), revision June 2022, published free by Badger Meter at https://badgermeter.widen.net/content/hsrxzm4kxt/original?download=true&x.app=api.
What are the minimum BACnet points to integrate the Badger Meter VN2000 vortex flow meter (BACnet MS/TP)?
Start with AI 1 Flow Rate(Flow Model) / Energy Rate (BTU Model) (Flow rate, or energy rate on BTU models); PIV 2 Net Totalizer (Net totalized flow or energy); AI 3 Temperature 1 (Supply temperature (BTU models)); AI 4 Temperature 2 (BTU) (Return temperature (BTU models)); AI 5 Pressure (Process pressure).
How do I check these points on the real VN2000 vortex flow meter (BACnet MS/TP)?
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.
