Belimo BKN230-24-MOD fire damper communication and power unit BACnet points list

Updated 12 November 2026Unofficial source

Short answer

The BKN230-24-MOD plugs into AC 230 V, feeds DC 24 V to one fire damper actuator and puts it on BACnet MS/TP or Modbus RTU (chosen by DIP switch). A smoke detector can be wired straight to it. The BMS opens and closes the damper through MO 1 and reads position, power use and three status objects for actuator faults, device faults and smoke/temperature trips.

This page lists 13 BACnet objects for the Belimo BKN230-24-MOD fire damper communication and power unit — 4 of them writable — with each object’s type, instance number, name, engineering units and access. It is re-typed from a copy of Belimo’s documentation hosted by BACnet International catalog, not by Belimo itself, so treat it as unofficial.

BMS integration notes: Belimo BKN230-24-MOD fire damper communication and power unit

Integration in brief

Set the MS/TP address and baud by DIP switch, then command the damper with MO 1 (Open/Close) and read AI 1 for position. Map BI 101 as the general alarm and MI 111 for smoke or temperature trips. If AV 130 is non-zero, keep rewriting MO 1 within the timeout.

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.

ObjectNameWhyAccess
MO 1OverrideDamper command: 2 = open, 3 = closeCommand
AI 1RelPosDamper position, %Read
MI 111StatusTrippingSmoke detector or temperature sensor trippedRead
MI 106StatusActuatorActuator fault (blocked, disconnected, overcurrent)Read
BI 101SummaryStatusGeneral status, 1 = not OKRead

Enable & remote start

With no command or no bus connected, the damper stays in its safety position. A wire bridge between terminals 1 and 4 opens it locally without a BMS.

Heartbeat & communication loss

AV 130 BusWatchdog (default 300 s, 0 = off) watches writes to MO 1. If MO 1 isn't rewritten in time, its priority array is cleared and the relinquish default applies; MI 110 shows BusWatchdog triggered.

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 BKN230-24-MOD fire damper communication and power unit and exports what it actually has to Excel — free.

Questions about the Belimo BKN230-24-MOD fire damper communication and power unit

How many BACnet points does the Belimo BKN230-24-MOD fire damper communication and power unit have?

This list has 13 BACnet objects: 4 analog inputs, 2 analog values, 1 binary input, 4 multi-state inputs, 1 multi-state output, 1 multi-state value. The exact set on a given unit depends on its firmware, installed options and configuration.

Which Belimo BKN230-24-MOD fire damper communication and power unit BACnet points are writable?

4 of the 13 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 Belimo BKN230-24-MOD fire damper communication and power unit BACnet documentation?

Belimo does not publish it on its own website. This list comes from BKN230-24-MOD technical data sheet (Communication and power supply unit for motorised fire dampers) (71589-00002.F), revision 2018-05-03, a copy hosted by BACnet International catalog at https://www.bacnetinternational.net/catalog/manu/belimo%20automation%20ag/PICS%20-%20bkn230-24-mod_datasheet_en-gb.pdf. Ask Belimo or its representative for the current revision.

What are the minimum BACnet points to integrate the Belimo BKN230-24-MOD fire damper communication and power unit?

Start with MO 1 Override (Damper command: 2 = open, 3 = close); AI 1 RelPos (Damper position, %); MI 111 StatusTripping (Smoke detector or temperature sensor tripped); MI 106 StatusActuator (Actuator fault (blocked, disconnected, overcurrent)); BI 101 SummaryStatus (General status, 1 = not OK).

How do I enable BMS control of the Belimo BKN230-24-MOD fire damper communication and power unit?

With no command or no bus connected, the damper stays in its safety position. A wire bridge between terminals 1 and 4 opens it locally without a BMS.

Does the Belimo BKN230-24-MOD fire damper communication and power unit need a BACnet heartbeat or have a communication timeout?

AV 130 BusWatchdog (default 300 s, 0 = off) watches writes to MO 1. If MO 1 isn't rewritten in time, its priority array is cleared and the relinquish default applies; MI 110 shows BusWatchdog triggered.

How do I check these points on the real BKN230-24-MOD fire damper communication and power unit?

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.
