York YS / YS HP / YN Screw Chiller (SC-EQ) BACnet points list

Updated 4 November 2026

Short answer

YS, YS HP and YN screw chillers reach a BAS through the SC-EQ communication card on BACnet MS/TP (or Modbus RTU / N2). The BAS can run/stop the unit and write the leaving chilled liquid setpoint, motor current limit, leaving hot water setpoint and operating mode. Read-only points cover water temperatures, refrigerant and oil pressures, slide valve position, solid-state starter values, and multistate operation, safety, cycling and warning codes.

This page lists 51 BACnet objects for the York YS / YS HP / YN Screw Chiller (SC-EQ) — 6 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 YS / YS HP / YN Screw Chiller (SC-EQ)

Integration in brief

Wire the BAS to the SC-EQ J12 RS-485 port and set the MAC address; the card detects BACnet MS/TP. Start/stop the unit with BV 1 and write the leaving chilled liquid setpoint (AV 1) and motor current limit (AV 2); on YS HP units also the hot water setpoint (AV 3) and mode (AV 4). Read MV 1, BV 5, the leaving water temperature and % FLA, and MV 2/MV 3 for shutdowns.

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 START STOP CMD (0 = Stop, 1 = Run) is the BAS run/stop and AV 1-4 the remote setpoints and mode. MV 5 shows the control source (Local, ISN, Analog, Digital, Modem); 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 YS / YS HP / YN Screw Chiller (SC-EQ) and exports what it actually has to Excel — free.

Questions about the York YS / YS HP / YN Screw Chiller (SC-EQ)

How many BACnet points does the York YS / YS HP / YN Screw Chiller (SC-EQ) have?

This list has 51 BACnet objects: 37 analog values, 8 binary values, 6 multi-state values. The exact set on a given unit depends on its firmware, installed options and configuration.

Which York YS / YS HP / YN Screw Chiller (SC-EQ) BACnet points are writable?

6 of the 51 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 YS / YS HP / YN Screw Chiller (SC-EQ) BACnet documentation?

The source is YS, YS HP, YN SC-EQ BAS Points List, revision Rev 2.3, 2021-12-08, published free by York at https://docs.johnsoncontrols.com/chillers/api/khub/documents/hSI0v36JJxo5NkdS0gNL0w/content.

What are the minimum BACnet points to integrate the York YS / YS HP / YN Screw Chiller (SC-EQ)?

Start with BV 1 REM START STOP CMD (Remote run/stop (1 = run)); AV 1 REM LEAVING CHL TEMP SP (Remote leaving chilled liquid setpoint); AV 2 MOTOR CURRENT REMOTE SP (Remote motor current limit, %); MV 1 UNIT OPERATION CODE (Operating state (stopped, starting, running)); BV 5 COMPR MOTOR STATUS (Compressor motor running); MV 5 UNIT CONTROL SOURCE (Control source; ISN (BAS) for BMS control); AV 5 LEAVING CH LIQ TEMP (Leaving chilled liquid temperature); AV 12 MOTOR CURRENT PCT FLA (Motor current, % FLA (load indication)); MV 2 UNIT SAFETY FAULT CODE (Safety shutdown code (1 = none)); MV 3 UNIT CYCLING FAULT CODE (Cycling shutdown code (1 = none)).

How do I enable BMS control of the York YS / YS HP / YN Screw Chiller (SC-EQ)?

BV 1 REM START STOP CMD (0 = Stop, 1 = Run) is the BAS run/stop and AV 1-4 the remote setpoints and mode. MV 5 shows the control source (Local, ISN, Analog, Digital, Modem); it should read ISN for BAS control. The points list has no write-enable point.

How do I check these points on the real YS / YS HP / YN Screw 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.
