Niagara Tip – Writing to BACnet Priority 10

I have found that using the Set feature in Niagara does not always write to BACnet priority 10.


By doing this you can still use Set in Niagara/ Tridium graphics


A simple workaround I use is to create a link within the Bacnet Setpoint block so the Out value feeds back into In10.


BacnetSetpoint graphic on a grid background, showing "Numeric Writable" with outputs "Out 23.0°C [ok] @ def" and inputs "In10" and "In16".

How to do it

  1. Add a Bacnet block.

Adelaide Fringe - Get out and see some shows.

Adelaide Fringe - 2026
Adelaide Fringe - 2026

Adelaide this time of year is unreal.


Fringe is on, weather’s mint, and the whole place just feels alive.


After a hectic summer it’s a good excuse to slow down a bit and actually get out of the house.


Fringe is what makes it. Random shows everywhere, street performers, food, beers, live music… you can just wander around and always find something going on.


Doesn’t matter if you’ve got a plan or not.

WAGOs = quick connect terminals for joining wires without screws.

I get asked a lot what WAGOs are.


They’re basically quick connectors for joining wires without screws.


They’re not the cheapest, but once you use them you won’t go back, especially on service work.


Why I use them:


  • Faster than screw terminals

  • Solid connection (less chance of loose wires)

Excessive wear on belts, cracking and worn

I’m seeing a lot of sites lately just replacing belts.


If the pulleys are aligned properly and the tension is set right, belts should last a lot longer than what we’re seeing.


Before swapping belts, it’s worth checking alignment.

You can do this with a straight edge or a piece of string. I usually just use string . (Cheap, easy to carry, fits in the tool bag, and does the job.)

Daikin Setup Bacnet (Service Tool Software)

I find this very handy for checking systems, confirming BACnet settings, and configuring IP addresses on Daikin gateways.


To connect successfully:

  1. Set your laptop IP address to the same subnet as the D-BACS device.

  2. Connect your laptop directly to the D-BACS network or via the same switch.

  3. Open the D-BACS Setup Tool and run device search.

  4. The tool will discover the gateway and allow you to view or modify BACnet/IP settings.

Fire & Smoke Damper Testing – Quick Reference (AS1851)

As per Australian Standard AS 1851 – Routine Service of Fire Protection Systems and Equipment, fire and smoke dampers must be inspected and tested as part of the building’s fire safety maintenance program.

 

Fire Dampers

What they are:Fire dampers are installed in ducts where they pass through fire-rated walls or floors. Their purpose is to prevent fire from spreading through the ductwork between fire compartments.

They normally contain a fusible link that melts when exposed to high temperature, causing the damper blades to close and stop the spread of fire.

Testing requirement:
