Danfoss Vacon 100 / 100 FLOW / 100 HVAC internal BACnet (MS/TP and IP) BACnet points list

Updated 6 November 2026

Short answer

Vacon 100 family drives (now Danfoss) have BACnet MS/TP on the RS-485 terminals and BACnet IP on the Ethernet port, both built in. The object list is Binary Values for drive status, run/stop, direction, reset, stop modes and fieldbus control-word bits, and Analog Values for monitors, the speed reference (% of nominal), limits, ramps, process data, AnyParam access and the fixed control/status words.

This page lists 71 BACnet objects for the Danfoss Vacon 100 / 100 FLOW / 100 HVAC internal BACnet (MS/TP and IP) — 30 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 Vacon 100 / 100 FLOW / 100 HVAC internal BACnet (MS/TP and IP)

Integration in brief

Select the BACnet protocol on RS-485 (M5.8) or Ethernet (M5.9), set the MS/TP MAC address, baud rate and instance (P5.8.3.1) or the IP settings and P5.9.3.1.3 Protocol in use = 1, and make Fieldbus the remote control place (P3.2.1). Then command BV 15 run/stop (or AV 36 control word) and AV 24 speed reference, and read BV 1, AV 1 and the fault points.

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.

AV 23Active Fault CodeWhich fault is activeRead

Enable & remote start

Make Fieldbus the remote control place (Main Menu > Parameters > Start/Stop Setup > P3.2.1 Rem. Ctrl. Place) and choose the fieldbus as the reference source (M3.3). The manual's quick test writes AV 36 control word 0 then 1 to start, AV 24 = 50 for 50 % speed, and 0 to stop.

Heartbeat & communication loss

MS/TP: P5.8.3.1.5 Communication time-out (0-65535 s, default 10, 0 = off) raises a communication error if the drive is sole master for that long. BACnet IP: P5.9.3.1.2 Communication time-out (default 0 = not used) is the longest allowed gap between UDP packets from the master; losing the Ethernet link faults at once even with 0.

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 Vacon 100 / 100 FLOW / 100 HVAC internal BACnet (MS/TP and IP) and exports what it actually has to Excel — free.

Questions about the Danfoss Vacon 100 / 100 FLOW / 100 HVAC internal BACnet (MS/TP and IP)

How many BACnet points does the Danfoss Vacon 100 / 100 FLOW / 100 HVAC internal BACnet (MS/TP and IP) have?

This list has 71 BACnet objects: 40 analog values, 31 binary values. The exact set on a given unit depends on its firmware, installed options and configuration.

Which Danfoss Vacon 100 / 100 FLOW / 100 HVAC internal BACnet (MS/TP and IP) BACnet points are writable?

30 of the 71 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 Vacon 100 / 100 FLOW / 100 HVAC internal BACnet (MS/TP and IP) BACnet documentation?

The source is Vacon 100 AC drives, Internal BACnet Installation Manual (DPD00091B (AN361179477697en-000101)), revision 2013-06-04, published free by Danfoss at https://assets.danfoss.com/documents/277119/AN361179477697en-000101.pdf.

What are the minimum BACnet points to integrate the Danfoss Vacon 100 / 100 FLOW / 100 HVAC internal BACnet (MS/TP and IP)?

Start with BV 15 Run/Stop CMD (Run/stop command (1 = run)); AV 24 Speed Reference (Speed reference, % of nominal speed); BV 17 Reset Fault (Resets the active fault); BV 1 Run/Stop State (Running status); AV 1 Output Frequency (Output frequency, Hz); AV 5 Motor Current (Motor current, A); AV 3 Load (power) (Motor shaft power, %); BV 3 Fault State (Any active drive fault); AV 23 Active Fault Code (Which fault is active).

How do I enable BMS control of the Danfoss Vacon 100 / 100 FLOW / 100 HVAC internal BACnet (MS/TP and IP)?

Make Fieldbus the remote control place (Main Menu > Parameters > Start/Stop Setup > P3.2.1 Rem. Ctrl. Place) and choose the fieldbus as the reference source (M3.3). The manual's quick test writes AV 36 control word 0 then 1 to start, AV 24 = 50 for 50 % speed, and 0 to stop.

Does the Danfoss Vacon 100 / 100 FLOW / 100 HVAC internal BACnet (MS/TP and IP) need a BACnet heartbeat or have a communication timeout?

MS/TP: P5.8.3.1.5 Communication time-out (0-65535 s, default 10, 0 = off) raises a communication error if the drive is sole master for that long. BACnet IP: P5.9.3.1.2 Communication time-out (default 0 = not used) is the longest allowed gap between UDP packets from the master; losing the Ethernet link faults at once even with 0.

How do I check these points on the real Vacon 100 / 100 FLOW / 100 HVAC internal BACnet (MS/TP and IP)?

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.
