Schneider Electric Altivar 61 BACnet MS/TP card VW3A3319 BACnet points list

Updated 7 November 2026

Short answer

The Altivar 61 BACnet card serves a fixed object set on BACnet MS/TP: drive relays, logic and analog I/O (BI, BO, AI, AO, some only with the I/O extension cards), control and status Binary Values, and Analog Values for measurements, fault history, the BACnet speed reference, PID setpoint, a parameter mailbox and eight communication-scanner in/out words.

This page lists 92 BACnet objects for the Schneider Electric Altivar 61 BACnet MS/TP card VW3A3319 — 35 of them writable — with each object’s type, instance number, name, engineering units and access. It is re-typed from Schneider Electric’s own free documentation, linked below.

BMS integration notes: Schneider Electric Altivar 61 BACnet MS/TP card VW3A3319

Integration in brief

Set the drive's reference and command channels to the network card ([Ref.1 channel] and [Cmd channel 1] = Com. card), then write AV 16 as the speed reference and BV 10 to start/stop. Read BV 0, AV 1, AV 4 and BV 2 / AV 18 for status and faults; BV 14 resets faults.

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

Menu 1.6 COMMAND: [Ref.1 channel] (Fr1) and [Cmd channel 1] (Cd1) = [Com. card] (nEt). A logic input can be set to switch command and reference back to the terminals.

Heartbeat & communication loss

If the card receives no BACnet message for the [Time-out] (tLP) period (set in 0.1 s steps, display 1-600, default 10), a [Com. network] (CnF) fault occurs; [Network fault mgt] (CLL) sets the reaction (freewheel stop by default; ramp, fast or DC stop, ignore, fallback speed or speed hold).

Sensors & values from the BMS

AV 27 EXT PID STPT takes the PID setpoint from the BMS when the drive PID uses the network setpoint.

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 Altivar 61 BACnet MS/TP card VW3A3319 and exports what it actually has to Excel — free.

Questions about the Schneider Electric Altivar 61 BACnet MS/TP card VW3A3319

How many BACnet points does the Schneider Electric Altivar 61 BACnet MS/TP card VW3A3319 have?

This list has 92 BACnet objects: 5 analog inputs, 3 analog outputs, 41 analog values, 19 binary inputs, 8 binary outputs, 16 binary values. The exact set on a given unit depends on its firmware, installed options and configuration.

Which Schneider Electric Altivar 61 BACnet MS/TP card VW3A3319 BACnet points are writable?

35 of the 92 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 Schneider Electric Altivar 61 BACnet MS/TP card VW3A3319 BACnet documentation?

The source is Altivar 61 BACnet card User's manual VW3 A3 319 (1765274), revision 2012-08, published free by Schneider Electric at https://download.se.com/files?p_Doc_Ref=1765274.

What are the minimum BACnet points to integrate the Schneider Electric Altivar 61 BACnet MS/TP card VW3A3319?

Start with BV 10 RUN/STOP CMD (Start command (1 = start)); AV 16 INPUT REF 1 (Speed/frequency reference, %); BV 14 FAULT RESET (Fault reset); BV 0 RUN/STOP ACT (Running status); AV 1 OUTPUT FREQ (Output frequency, Hz); AV 4 CURRENT (Motor current, A); BV 4 HAND/AUTO ACT (Hand/auto (local control) status); BV 2 FAULT ACT (Drive fault); AV 18 LAST FLT (Last fault code).

How do I enable BMS control of the Schneider Electric Altivar 61 BACnet MS/TP card VW3A3319?

Menu 1.6 COMMAND: [Ref.1 channel] (Fr1) and [Cmd channel 1] (Cd1) = [Com. card] (nEt). A logic input can be set to switch command and reference back to the terminals.

Does the Schneider Electric Altivar 61 BACnet MS/TP card VW3A3319 need a BACnet heartbeat or have a communication timeout?

If the card receives no BACnet message for the [Time-out] (tLP) period (set in 0.1 s steps, display 1-600, default 10), a [Com. network] (CnF) fault occurs; [Network fault mgt] (CLL) sets the reaction (freewheel stop by default; ramp, fast or DC stop, ignore, fallback speed or speed hold).

Can the BMS supply sensor values to the Schneider Electric Altivar 61 BACnet MS/TP card VW3A3319?

AV 27 EXT PID STPT takes the PID setpoint from the BMS when the drive PID uses the network setpoint.

How do I check these points on the real Altivar 61 BACnet MS/TP card VW3A3319?

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.
