The BACnet package provides connectivity and integration of BACnet devices to the Wonderware System Platform.
The package contains these components:
DASCXSBACnet DAS Server Provides read/write access and browsing of BACnet devices. It provides full OPC functionality.
CXS BACnet Application Generator Automatically generates instances of BACnet objects discovered on the BACnet network
ArchestrA CXS BACnet model for the Wonderware System Platform
The CXS BACnet application generator scans the BACnet network and creates CXS BACnet device objects representing the BACnet devices. BACnet device objects can be configured to access runtime data via the DASCXSBACnet DAS Server. Static BACnet data values can be acquired on-line directly from the BACnet if the ArchestrA IDE node has access to the network. This reduces the IO count of the ArchestrA application.
CXS BACnet model:
BACnet Application Generator
The BACnet application generator significantly simplifies the implementation of large BACnet applications. It allows browsing the BACnet for devices and objects and it provides an interactive GUI to create the corresponding ArchestrA application objects. In addition all IO references are configured automatically to avoid typing errors and speed up the integration process. The application generator also allows resynchronisation of the application after reconfiguring BACnet devices.
BACnet automatic application generation:
The entire process of creating the application objects is logged and can be exported for documentation purposes. The application generator allows using preconfigured ArchestrA templates as well as generating the required templates as they are needed.
Feature Summary
CXS BACnet ArchestrA application generator:
Scans BACnet network for devices
