As next, select the devices that you want to integrate. After having selected a device, the BACnet Explorer will search for all objects that are available within the device and which are supported by the NETx BMS Server.
Select and deselect the objects that you want to include or exclude. After having chosen all BACnet devices and objects that you would like to integrate, choose at the bottom right of the Explorer whether you want to replace the old configuration ("New..") or whether you want to attach the devices and objects to the existing one ("Attach ..."). By clicking on the "Export" button the device and object configuration will be stored within the active workspace of the NETx BMS Server.
Afterwards, close the BACnet Explorer by pressing the "Exit" button and change back to the NETx BMS Studio. Start the NETx BMS Server again and open an Item Tree. All BACnet devices and objects are found under the sub tree "NETx\XIO\BACnet". Each device has one entry within the Item Tree. Below this entry, you will find a GATEWAY item which shows the connection state to the BACnet device. In addition, all selected objects are listed. As defined by the BACnet standard some BACnet objects are readonly (e.g Binary Input, Analog Input, ...) and some are also writable (e.g. Binary Output, Analog Output, ...). Input objects have only one item which shows the current Present Value of the BACnet object. Output objects have in addition for each used BACnet priority one Write Item (used to send a write command with the given priority) and one Reset Item (used to reset the given priority again). The NETx BMS Server supports multiple priorities at the same time. The following figure shows an example.

The BACnet Protocol Information Conformance statement (BACnet PIC statement) is a standardized document which described all BACnet services and BACnet object types are supported by a certain BACnet product. The BACnet PIC statement is used to prove whether a BACnet client is able to communicate with a BACnet device and whether all required functions can be releaized. The BACnet PIC of the NETx BMS Server can be found at our web site. |
