Designation and labelling of building installations
Based on the Directives on the designation and labelling of building installations v1.1.0 — address limited to 16 ASCII characters.

Address generator editable

Choose each block : l'address full et son decoding se construisent live. A = letter · N = digit · X = character. Limite recommended : 16 characters ASCII.

Addresses shorter than 16 characters are padded with binary zeros in the building automation system. The « _ » separators are not counted in the ASCII limit.

Block tree

Each block consists of a type (letter) and a number. Expand to see the details.

1 · LIEU NNNN_AAXX
Physically locates the installation. Written in two segments: 0026_MG10.
  • NNNN — Economic unit (4 digits). Ex. 0026 = store owner.
  • AA — Building designation (2 letters chosen by Workswell). E.g. MG = Magasin.
  • XX — Building level (2 characters). E.g. 10 = 1er floor. The building and level are joined: MG10.
2 · INSTALLATION DU BUILDING A NNN
A — installation type (1 letter, 26 types A→Z) · NNN — installation number (3 digits).
Installations of the same type are numbered in ascending order per building. E.g. H001 = heating n°001.
3 · APPAREIL A NNN
A — device type (1 letter) · NNN — device number (3 digits), structured by functional domain (hundreds).
Ex. M100 = moteur, domain « production ».
4 · FONCTION A N
A — function type (1 letter) · N — number of the function (1 digit, 0→9).
Describes the data point in the building automation. E.g. S0 = commande de commutation.
