ONICON FT-3000 series (FT-3200) inline electromagnetic flow meter, BACnet MS/TP BACnet points list
Updated 6 November 2026
The FT-3000 series mag meter has a native BACnet MS/TP port. It exposes flow rate (and percent of scale), board temperatures and battery charge as Analog Inputs, forward and reverse total and partial volumes as both Analog Values and Positive Integer Values, a reset BV, a battery-state MSV and two BitString alarm words.
This page lists 17 BACnet objects for the ONICON FT-3000 series (FT-3200) inline electromagnetic 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 ONICON’s own free documentation, linked below.

BMS integration notes: ONICON FT-3000 series (FT-3200) inline electromagnetic flow meter, BACnet MS/TP
In menu 8-Communication set the MAC address, baud, Max Master and a device instance (it ships as 4194303, not initialized). Read flow rate, the forward total volume and the alarm bitstrings; write RST_SEL_CNT only to reset the selected partial counters.
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 0 | FLOW_RATE | Flow rate in configured units | Read |
| AV 0 | TOT_VOL_POS_V | Forward flow total volume | Read |
| AV 2 | TOT_VOL_NEG_V | Reverse flow total volume | Read |
| AI 1 | FLOW_RATE_(PC) | Flow, % of full scale | Read |
| Other 0 | MEA_ERROR | Measurement alarm bits (empty pipe, flow limits) | Read |
| Other 1 | SYS_ERROR | System alarm bits (battery, temp, power) | Read |
Network setup
- Settings are in menu 8-Communication, behind the programming access code.
- MAC 0-127 = MS/TP master, 128-254 = slave; baud 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600 or 76800; field-settable 120 ohm termination (switches 1 and 2).
- Device instance ships as 4194303 ('not initialized'); set 1-4,194,302 before use. Once changed it cannot be set back to 4194303.
- Bnet W.E. controls whether the device instance, name, location and description can be written over BACnet.
- No segmentation.
Watch out for
- The meter does not take part properly until the device instance is changed from 4194303.
- Volumes appear twice (AV as REAL and PIV as integer counter); pick one type and map it consistently.
- RST_SEL_CNT always reads Inactive; it is a reset strobe, not a state.

Object ID lookup: ONICON FT-3000 series inline electromagnetic flow meter, BACnet MS/TP point IDs by name
Integration notes
- Units follow the meter's configured volume and flow units; the supplement lists the supported BACnet unit codes (metric and US, per second/minute/hour/day).
- MEA_ERROR and SYS_ERROR are BitString Value objects (listed as type Other); the bit meanings are in the states column.
- RST_SEL_CNT acts like a strobe: writing Active resets the selected counters, and the device clears the priority array so it always reads Inactive.
- Analog Input Present_Value and Reliability are writable only for testing on non-MID meters with Out_Of_Service set.
- A Network Port object (NP MS/TP, instance 0) is also present.
