--- title: "system.bacnet.readRawMultiple" description: "This function is the bulk version of system.bacnet.readRaw to allow multiple object/property combinations to be read simultaneously from a single request." --- # system.bacnet.readRawMultiple > This function is the bulk version of system.bacnet.readRaw to allow multiple object/property combinations to be read simultaneously from a single request. This function is used in **Python Scripting**. ## Description This function is the bulk version of [system.bacnet.readRaw](appendix\scripting-functions\system-bacnet\system-bacnet-readRaw.md) to allow multiple object/property combinations to be read simultaneously from a single request. Returns a list of corresponding Encodable objects provided equal-length lists of object types, object instance numbers, property IDs, and property array indices. :::note To use this function, the [BACnet](ignition-modules\opc-ua\opc-ua-drivers\bacnet\bacnet.md) driver must be installed. ::: ## Client Permission Restrictions This scripting function has no [Client Permission](ignition-modules\vision\vision-project-properties\vision-project-properties.md#vision-permissions-properties) restrictions. ## Syntax `system.bacnet.readRawMultiple(deviceName, objectTypes, objectIds, propertyIds)` ### Parameters Type | Parameter | Description ------- | ------- | ------- String | `deviceName` | The name of the configured BACnet/IP device instance to read from. ObjectTypes | `objectTypes` | The numeric ids of the objectType of the object instances being read from. See the objectType Reference below. Integer | `objectIds` | The object instance number to read. PropertyIdentifier | `propertyIds` | The PropertyIdentifier of the object instance being read. See the propertyId Reference below. ### Returns A list of Encodable objects corresponding to the properties being read. ### Scope Gateway ## References ### objectType Reference Values for the
