ShowRunnerCLC™ BACnet

Last modified by Alexander Mott on 2024/06/14 18:19

ShowRunnerCLC™ uses Crestron's BACnet/IP stack and is bound by its licensing and limitations. Integrations of 50 points or less may use the free Crestron BACnet license, while integrations with more than 50 points require the Crestron paid license (ZUM-HUB4 processors include a BACnet license, but require a separate license from Crestron to enable ShowRunnerCLC™ installation on the processor). The maximum number of BACnet points available is limited per processor and detailed in the table below (note that the processor itself consumes a point).

ShowRunnerCLC™'s BACnet feature is licensed, and an additional license from Chief Integrations is required. BACnet points are automatically created and assigned during commissioning, and a .csv export of the points may be downloaded from the system. It is recommended to wait until after ShowRunnerCLC™ has been fully started up to provide BACnet points to third parties as changes to the ShowRunnerCLC™ program made during start-up may affect the names and IDs for automatically generated BACnet points. 

ShowRunnerCLC™ version 3.050 and newer includes support for fully customized BACnet points, but it is labor intensive to implement. Discuss with Chief Integrations if you believe your job requires custom BACnet points (e.g. upgrading a non-ShowRunnerCLC™ system with existing BACnet integrations to ShowRunnerCLC™).

BACnet Stack Features:

  • BACnet/IP
  • Configurable BACnet UDP port (options may be limited by processor firmware)
  • BBMD w/ Foreign Device Registration (Enabled if necessary)
  • Points can be discovered using traditional BACnet discovery tools
  • ShowRunnerCLC™ version 3.050 and later support custom BACnet points. Please discuss with Chief Integrations.

ShowRunnerCLC™ BACnet Points

Area BACnet Points

Provides control/status for a single area within ShowRunnerCLC™. AreaBaseIDs are assigned automatically and maintained. Points are discoverable. Each of the points may be enabled or disabled by area to optimize the integration. This is the default ShowRunnerCLC™ BACnet mode.

Offset is 1000 in configs generated in ShowRunner 3.30 or newer (V2 definition).  Offset is 10000 in older configs or using V1 definition.

Zūm Floor Hub BACnet Point Emulation

ShowRunnerCLC™ can emulate the Zūm Floor Hubs BACnet points as an alternative to the standard ShowRunnerCLC™ mode. Each point may be enabled/disabled individually by Area.  ShowRunner does not expose every point per area that the Zum Hub does, just the points listed below are exposed.

Set the following Area properties:

BACnetIndex: (ID of the Room, this number of multiplied by 2048 to get the BACnet points, starts at 1)
BACnetMode: "ZumEmulation"

AreaBaseID = BACnetIndex * 2048
