Danfoss NovoCon S / M / L / XL digital actuator BACnet points list

Updated 4 November 2026

Short answer

NovoCon is a bus-connected actuator for Danfoss AB-QM pressure independent valves, talking BACnet MS/TP or Modbus RTU. In digital mode the BMS writes a flow setpoint and reads back flow, position, temperatures (with T1/T2/T3 sensors), power and energy. Many settings objects cover valve selection, units, energy management and ChangeOver6 control.

This page lists 118 BACnet objects for the Danfoss NovoCon S / M / L / XL digital actuator — 68 of them writable — with each object’s type, instance number, name, engineering units and access. It is re-typed from Danfoss’s own free documentation, linked below.

BMS integration notes: Danfoss NovoCon S / M / L / XL digital actuator

Integration in brief

Pick BACnet (DIP switch 10 or MSV 8, then power cycle), let auto MAC addressing and auto baud find a free address, and set the device instance. Choose the valve type (MSV 3) and Digital control (MSV 9 = 2, the default), set the design flow on AV 30/31, then write the flow setpoint on AV 1. Read flow, position and the alarm summary.

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.

Enable & remote start

MSV 9 Application mode = 2 Digital control (default) makes AV 1 the command. In Analog control (state 1) the 0-10 V input drives the valve instead. MSV 10 commands heating or cooling for central change-over and ChangeOver6 use.

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 NovoCon S / M / L / XL digital actuator and exports what it actually has to Excel — free.

Questions about the Danfoss NovoCon S / M / L / XL digital actuator

How many BACnet points does the Danfoss NovoCon S / M / L / XL digital actuator have?

This list has 118 BACnet objects: 4 analog inputs, 1 analog output, 61 analog values, 19 binary values, 1 notification class, 31 multi-state values, 1 other. The exact set on a given unit depends on its firmware, installed options and configuration.

Which Danfoss NovoCon S / M / L / XL digital actuator BACnet points are writable?

68 of the 118 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 Danfoss NovoCon S / M / L / XL digital actuator BACnet documentation?

The source is NovoCon S, M, L and XL Digital actuators - Data sheet (AI368140926963en-010202), revision 2026.06, published free by Danfoss at https://assets.danfoss.com/documents/latest/593219/AI368140926963en-010110.pdf.

What are the minimum BACnet points to integrate the Danfoss NovoCon S / M / L / XL digital actuator?

Start with AV 1 Flow Rate Setpoint (Flow setpoint, % of design flow by default); MV 10 Application command & status (Heating/cooling command for change-over use); AV 2 Flow Rate feedback (Flow feedback from stem position); AV 42 Position feedback (Flow indication, %); MV 0 Actuator Mode and special features (Actuator mode; 5 = alarm); AV 27 Alarm summary count (Bit-weighted sum of active alarms and warnings).

How do I enable BMS control of the Danfoss NovoCon S / M / L / XL digital actuator?

MSV 9 Application mode = 2 Digital control (default) makes AV 1 the command. In Analog control (state 1) the 0-10 V input drives the valve instead. MSV 10 commands heating or cooling for central change-over and ChangeOver6 use.

How do I check these points on the real NovoCon S / M / L / XL digital actuator?

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.
