Trane BCI2-C for RTWD / RTUD chillers (CH530) BACnet points list

Updated 12 November 2026

Short answer

The BCI2-C is a non-programmable Trane controller that connects to the CH530 chiller controls over the IPC3 link and serves the chiller data on BACnet MS/TP. This list is the RTWD column of the guide's model tables: 102 objects with low instance numbers. The BAS writes chilled and hot water setpoints and current limit (AO), auto/stop and diagnostic reset (BO) and chiller mode (MO); everything else is read-only water, refrigerant, oil, compressor and electrical data.

This page lists 102 BACnet objects for the Trane BCI2-C for RTWD / RTUD chillers (CH530) — 6 of them writable — with each object’s type, instance number, name, engineering units and access. It is re-typed from Trane’s own free documentation, linked below.

BMS integration notes: Trane BCI2-C for RTWD / RTUD chillers (CH530)

Integration in brief

Address the BCI2-C on the MS/TP trunk and discover it. Write BO 1 auto/stop, MO 1 mode, AO 1 chilled water setpoint and AO 2 current limit, then read back running state, leaving water temperature and capacity. BI 23 Alarm Present and BI 24 Shutdown Alarm Present are the summary alarms, and BI 25 shows the last diagnostic.

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

BO 1 Chiller Auto Stop Command (Inactive = Stop, Active = Auto; relinquish default True, i.e. Auto) is the BMS auto/stop. BI 1 Run Enabled shows whether the chiller is available to run, and BI 2 Local Setpoint Control shows when the chiller is using local setpoints instead of the BAS setpoints.

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 BCI2-C for RTWD / RTUD chillers (CH530) and exports what it actually has to Excel — free.

Questions about the Trane BCI2-C for RTWD / RTUD chillers (CH530)

How many BACnet points does the Trane BCI2-C for RTWD / RTUD chillers (CH530) have?

This list has 102 BACnet objects: 71 analog inputs, 3 analog outputs, 18 binary inputs, 2 binary outputs, 7 multi-state inputs, 1 multi-state output. The exact set on a given unit depends on its firmware, installed options and configuration.

Which Trane BCI2-C for RTWD / RTUD chillers (CH530) BACnet points are writable?

6 of the 102 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 Trane BCI2-C for RTWD / RTUD chillers (CH530) BACnet documentation?

The source is Integration Guide: BACnet Communication Interface for Chillers (BCI2-C) (BAS-SVP055A-EN), revision 04/16/2022, published free by Trane at https://support.trane.com/hc/article_attachments/49472973334925.

What are the minimum BACnet points to integrate the Trane BCI2-C for RTWD / RTUD chillers (CH530)?

Start with BO 1 Chiller Auto Stop Command (BMS auto/stop (enable) command); MO 1 Chiller Mode Command (Cool/heat/ice mode command); AO 1 Chilled Water Setpoint (Chilled water setpoint from the BMS); AO 2 Current Limit Setpoint (Current (capacity) limit from the BMS, %); BI 4 Chiller Running State (Chiller on/off status); BI 2 Local Setpoint Control (Shows if local setpoints override BAS setpoints); AI 45 Evaporator Leaving Water Temp (Leaving chilled water temperature); AI 5 Actual Running Capacity (Actual running capacity in percent); BI 23 Alarm Present (Any active alarm on the chiller).

How do I enable BMS control of the Trane BCI2-C for RTWD / RTUD chillers (CH530)?

BO 1 Chiller Auto Stop Command (Inactive = Stop, Active = Auto; relinquish default True, i.e. Auto) is the BMS auto/stop. BI 1 Run Enabled shows whether the chiller is available to run, and BI 2 Local Setpoint Control shows when the chiller is using local setpoints instead of the BAS setpoints.

How do I check these points on the real BCI2-C for RTWD / RTUD chillers (CH530)?

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.
