York YIA Absorption Chiller (SC-EQ) BACnet points list

Updated 4 November 2026

Short answer

The YIA's SC-EQ card puts the absorption chiller on a BACnet MS/TP trunk (it also speaks Modbus RTU and N2). The BAS can run/stop the chiller and write the leaving chilled water setpoint and load limit. Read-only points cover chilled and condenser water temperatures, generator and purge pressures, strong solution temperature and concentration, steam or hot water supply values, pump status and multistate operation, shutdown, warning and inhibit codes.

This page lists 43 BACnet objects for the York YIA Absorption Chiller (SC-EQ) — 3 of them writable — with each object’s type, instance number, name, engineering units and access. It is re-typed from York’s own free documentation, linked below.

BMS integration notes: York YIA Absorption Chiller (SC-EQ)

Integration in brief

Wire the BAS to the SC-EQ RS-485 port and set the MAC address; the card detects BACnet MS/TP. Run/stop the chiller with BV 1 and write the leaving chilled water setpoint (AV 1) and load limit (AV 2). Read MV 1 for the operating state, the chilled water temperatures and MV 2/MV 3 for safety and cycling shutdowns. MV 5 shows whether the chiller is under ISN (BAS) control.

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

BV 1 REM RUN STOP CMD (0 = Stop, 1 = Run) is the BAS run/stop; AV 1 and AV 2 are the remote setpoints. MV 5 shows the control source (Local, ISN, Analog, Digital); it should read ISN for BAS control. The points list has no write-enable point.

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 YIA Absorption Chiller (SC-EQ) and exports what it actually has to Excel — free. New to BACnet?

Questions about the York YIA Absorption Chiller (SC-EQ)

How many BACnet points does the York YIA Absorption Chiller (SC-EQ) have?

This list has 43 BACnet objects: 26 analog values, 9 binary values, 8 multi-state values. The exact set on a given unit depends on its firmware, installed options and configuration.

Which York YIA Absorption Chiller (SC-EQ) BACnet points are writable?

3 of the 43 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 York YIA Absorption Chiller (SC-EQ) BACnet documentation?

The source is YIA SC-EQ BAS Points List, revision Rev 1.1, 2020-12-18, published free by York at https://docs.johnsoncontrols.com/chillers/api/khub/documents/MgPyIEusbCBvjQ2NPPH0uw/content.

What are the minimum BACnet points to integrate the York YIA Absorption Chiller (SC-EQ)?

Start with BV 1 REM RUN STOP CMD (Remote run/stop (1 = run)); AV 1 REM LEAVING CHW TEMP SP (Remote leaving chilled water setpoint); AV 2 REM LOAD LIMIT SP (Remote load limit, %); MV 1 OPERATIONAL CODE (Operating state (ready, starting, running)); MV 5 UNIT CONTROL SOURCE (Control source; ISN (BAS) for BMS control); AV 5 LEAVING CHW TEMP (Leaving chilled water temperature); AV 6 ENTERING CHW TEMP (Return chilled water temperature); MV 2 SAFETY SHUTDOWN CODE (Safety shutdown code (1 = none)); MV 3 CYCLING SHUTDOWN CODE (Cycling shutdown code (1 = none)).

How do I enable BMS control of the York YIA Absorption Chiller (SC-EQ)?

BV 1 REM RUN STOP CMD (0 = Stop, 1 = Run) is the BAS run/stop; AV 1 and AV 2 are the remote setpoints. MV 5 shows the control source (Local, ISN, Analog, Digital); it should read ISN for BAS control. The points list has no write-enable point.

How do I check these points on the real YIA Absorption Chiller (SC-EQ)?

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.
