BACtalk Ethernet Protocol (x64) 3.0

BACtalk Ethernet Protocol (x64) by Honeywell International Inc.

A 64-bit communications component for Honeywell’s Alerton BACtalk ecosystem, this software enables Windows-based workstations and tools to communicate with building automation devices over Ethernet using standard BACnet/IP. It is typically installed alongside Honeywell/Alerton front-end applications to support commissioning, monitoring, and control of HVAC, lighting, and metering systems on BACnet networks.

Key capabilities

• Provides a BACnet/IP protocol stack for 64-bit Windows, operating over UDP port 47808 (standard BACnet/IP)
• Enables device discovery, property read/write, and change-of-value (COV) subscriptions when supported by the host application
• Supports alarm/event, scheduling, and trending services as exposed by compatible Honeywell/Alerton tools
• Works across typical enterprise Ethernet networks, including multi-controller BACnet installations

Typical use cases

• Commissioning and maintenance of BACnet devices in Honeywell/Alerton BACtalk systems
• Day-to-day building operations: monitoring points, adjusting setpoints, and reviewing alarms or trends via compatible applications
• Integrating workstation applications with existing BACnet/IP segments on a facility network

Notes

• This is a communications component rather than a standalone user application; it is used by Honeywell/Alerton software to talk to BACnet devices.
• Installation generally requires Windows x64 and administrative privileges; network broadcast and UDP traffic must be permitted by local firewalls and switches for discovery to function properly.

In short, BACtalk Ethernet Protocol (x64) is the BACnet/IP communications foundation that lets Honeywell/Alerton workstation software reliably interface with building automation devices over Ethernet.
