Typically, a TNM local device is needed in topologies that have FLN-class devices that are not supervised by Siemens field panels.

Prerequisite

The station’s site structure is configured. For more information, see the section Configuring a Site Structure.

Adding a LocalDeviceTc Object to the Station

The LocalDeviceTc template is used to create virtual ALN devices representing field panels, and includes the hs:equip and sie:alnDevice tags.

  1. Connect to the station using Siemens Workbench.
  1. Open the Template sidebar
  1. Drag the LocalDeviceTc template onto the Config/SiemensUi folder
  1. Follow the wizard prompts to select the site and area, just as you would for any other device.
  • The LocalDeviceTc object displays in the Site and Devices hierarchies in place of a TC Controller.
