Contemporary Controls ebm-papst ArgusVision Dependent Boiler via BASgatewayLX BACnet points list

Updated 12 November 2026

Short answer

Gateway profile for an ArgusVision boiler set up as a dependent: 47 objects (30 AI, 8 AO, 7 BI, 2 BO), 39 polled by default. Outputs set the Modbus units, CH and DHW setpoints (°F and °C versions), boiler operation and CH/DHW modes; inputs give state, status, error and warning codes, supply, return, DHW, flue and exchanger temperatures, firing rate, flame current, water pressure and counters.

This page lists 47 BACnet objects for the Contemporary Controls ebm-papst ArgusVision Dependent Boiler via BASgatewayLX — 10 of them writable — with each object’s type, instance number, name, engineering units and access. It is re-typed from Contemporary Controls’s own free documentation, linked below.

BMS integration notes: Contemporary Controls ebm-papst ArgusVision Dependent Boiler via BASgatewayLX

Integration in brief

Set boiler operation and CH mode, write the CH (and DHW) setpoint in the unit you use, then read state, supply/return temperature and firing rate.

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.

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 ebm-papst ArgusVision Dependent Boiler via BASgatewayLX and exports what it actually has to Excel — free.

Questions about the Contemporary Controls ebm-papst ArgusVision Dependent Boiler via BASgatewayLX

How many BACnet points does the Contemporary Controls ebm-papst ArgusVision Dependent Boiler via BASgatewayLX have?

This list has 47 BACnet objects: 30 analog inputs, 8 analog outputs, 7 binary inputs, 2 binary outputs. The exact set on a given unit depends on its firmware, installed options and configuration.

Which Contemporary Controls ebm-papst ArgusVision Dependent Boiler via BASgatewayLX BACnet points are writable?

10 of the 47 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 Contemporary Controls ebm-papst ArgusVision Dependent Boiler via BASgatewayLX BACnet documentation?

The source is BASgatewayLX Modbus device profile DEPENDENT_BOILER_a (DEPENDENT_BOILER_a_LX.csv), published free by Contemporary Controls at https://www.ccontrols.com/support/dp/DependentBoiler.zip.

What are the minimum BACnet points to integrate the Contemporary Controls ebm-papst ArgusVision Dependent Boiler via BASgatewayLX?

Start with AO 12 Boiler operation (Boiler operation command); AO 14 CH mode (CH mode); AO 8 Boiler CH setpoint F (CH setpoint, °F); AO 10 Boiler DHW setpoint F (DHW setpoint, °F); AI 4 State (Boiler state); AI 16 Supply temperature F (Supply temperature, °F); AI 18 Return temperature F (Return temperature, °F); AI 26 Firing Rate (Firing rate); AI 6 Error Code (Error code); AI 7 Warning Code (Warning code).

How do I check these points on the real ebm-papst ArgusVision Dependent Boiler via BASgatewayLX?

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.
