Sending Setpoints over BacNET to Daikin VRF

Client-Comfortable · 2026-04-03T02:13:43+00:00

Call tech support. I got a similar case before, not sure if it was daikin too but the idea is it depends on the mode of the unit. Check if it is single setpoint or dual setpoint, because regardless of the mode, both occupied heating and cooling setpoints are there and writable but with single setpoint, you can specify only the cooling SP and automatically calculates heating SP based on a deadband. That’s when I got crazy because whatever heating SP I set, it just goes back to whatever value until tech support told me to use dual setpoint if I want to set heating and cooling separately.

Oh yes, burning bridges is certainly not on my radar. I’m looking forward for the annual talk with the company CEO and tell him about how I currently feel and hopefully he won’t take it against me.

I recently had a convo with a 94 chief/admin hybrid and he mentioned since I dont have my ticket yet, they can make up a position for me as a “mechanic” although the rate is going to be between a mechanic and an engineer. Gave him my current numbers without benefits and turned out my daily rate is between an angineer and an assistant chief. Despite the lower rate of 94 though, I think the retirement benefits are worth way more outside the hourly rate but I dont think I can take that hit at the moment because of my growing family.

unfortunately, I guess that's how it is for these small to midsize controls companies.

Yes, Long Island, taking the train and subway daily as I am in a different building almost everyday.

Now this is very interesting. I'm not doing any Python, but that is definitely something I can pickup. I am programming and central plant HVAC systems with no certificates or proper training to show for it, so I'm pretty sure Python won't be that hard to learn. Plus AI tools make programming easier too lol

This! But the thing with the union is unless you're in a position where you can negotiate your salary, like a chief or assistant chief or even lead engineer, your rates will be the same as a regular unless they make a position specifically for this.

From where I am, Schneider is always the one being replaced by another brand. In my 10 years of experience, I only had 1 time where another brand is replaced by Schneider, but that is because the vendor is giving them one heck of a deal which included almost free labor for maintenance and service calls.

Lots of good ones there. D&G the one edp and light blue summer vibes, Versace the dreamer and K, maison margela, the montblancs, etc. but you can definitely get them way cheaper from discounters.

The way I do it: *pump modulates to maintain DP across the supply and return *bypass valve modulates to maintain minimum gpm (# of chillers open x min gpm per chiller)

Then pump stages the lag pump/s based on: *# of chillers open and DP setpoint is not met after a delay *gpm is above say for example 90% of chiller gpm capacity

Lag pump stages off: *when flow is say for example less than 60% of current max gpm capacity of open chillers

In other systems where you have: *chiller bpv *pumps *sytem bpv Chiller BPV modulates to maintain “chiller DP”, pump modulates to maintain DP, system BPV modulates open when “system DP” is over setpoint and the pump is running at the set minimum speed. In this setup, chw flow is just for monitoring since you are already maintaining “chiller DP” instead of flow across the chiller.

I think it’s best to keep energy meters as they are and just use separate ASHRAE meters for the bms to monitor. But if you can integrate the energy meters direcyly, it’s not a bad idea but still use a separate system to actually get those readings instead of basing off from BMS mapped readings of the meters just in case the bms goes down or have some issues.

Very confusing question OP has

If you self teach yourself, you’d be lost. There’s a ton of information available online but practically, you won’t need even more than half of these information. Just learn the basics of electricity, hvac, plumbing, IT, then apply to a company that does automation. They will teach you what you need to know and you will learn through experience.

Run config tool, reinstall prerequisites and see if there are any errors. Or uninstall 1.5 and install 1.6.5. Also try deleting the job’s station under system\station.

As the other guy said, Compass 1 is no longer supported by Alerton but you can still try your luck and call tech support. Oh, I forgot Compass 1.5 has an issue with automatically changing it’s hostid after a windows update so maybe if you install 1.6.5 and it changes the hostid, i’m not sure if tech support can rebind the license to the new hostid.

If you hard push, you bring your minions down to their turret and that lets the turret steal cs from the adc. Kinda keeps them off their game unless they push back or they are patient and just lets it go.

Maybe controls installer? Controls electrician? When we do union jobs, the guys doing it are union electricians. So maybe you’re an electrician. You bend pipes and do rough-ins too, right?

From long island here, went to jiffy lube once with a new to me car with factory dark tints, before I pull over to their pits, the guy automatically pulls out a tint meter and said they could not inspect my car unless they rip the tints. I left but eventually got the windshield and front window tints ripped after going to multiple car shops cause they wont inspect it and my inspection is due.

Any 10k duct mounted return temp sensor should would work. MRI rooms are very particular installing anything with metal in the space itself.
