{% hint style="info" %}
**Licensing:**

Without purchase of a license (only *Download*) the library runs for **30 minutes as an unrestricted trial version**. For productive use a Single License (SL) / single-device license is required per controller.\
For instructions on installing licenses, please visit the page [Product Licensing](/hub/codesys-hvac/en/overview/licensing.md).
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Note on CODESYS licensing:**\
\
To be able to use the library, you need **in addition** the [CODESYS BACnet SL license](https://store.codesys.com/en/codesys-bacnet-sl.html).

### Description

This library makes working with many up to several thousand BACnet objects in CODESYS practical and clear. In large BACnet projects, the device tree quickly becomes confusing, and working solely via the device tree and standard objects is time-consuming and error-prone. This is exactly where HVACBACnet2 comes in.

Instead of configuring each object in the device tree, BACnet data points can be mapped in a structured way in the CFC editor. The library provides clearly structured function blocks that allow read and write access to BACnet/IP to be implemented efficiently.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Info:**\
\
HVACBACnet2 uses the existing CODESYS BACnet2 stack and extends it with practical function blocks for diagnostics, client and server functionality.\
\
This preserves the standard BACnet configuration via Ethernet, BACnet IP datalink and BACnet server, while the actual object logic is implemented in the CFC editor.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://support.powerio.com/hub/codesys-hvac/en/hvac-bacnet2-library/beschreibung.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
