To define an instance range to discover BACnet points from a device within, use the filter function:
Available trees (1).
Connectors.
BACnet Connectors.
Choose an equip
What happens in the background?
Once the tool is executed, the following are implemented:
- bacnetDevice - A bacnetDevice record is created for each equip(s).
- bacnetDeviceRef - Each equip gets a bacnetDeviceRef for the corresponding bacnetDevice created.
- bacnetInstance - This number of property tag is added to BACnetDevice record and points.
- bacnetMacAddress - This number property tag is added to the bacnetDevice record.
- bacnetNetwork - This number property tag is added to the bacnetServer ext.
- bacnetLocalAddress - If included, it adds a string property on the bacnetServer ext.
- bacnetServerNetworkList() - This function is run upon selecting the tool to see any other BACnet servers in the network.
Discover Troubleshooting
- Make sure that when running bacnetServerNetworkList(), there are no network conflicts.
- Run bacnetServerSyncDevices() to make sure everything is synced.
- Run bacnetServerDeviceList() to get a list of all the available devices.
- Make sure bacnetServerExt has the following tags:
- bacnetNetwork (based on #1)
- bacnetLocalAddress (either 0.0.0.0:47808 or serverIp:47808)
- After checking and changes were made, restart the service.
- Try to discover from another device.
- Make sure there are no firewalls blocking any of the communications. Disable firewall.
- If disabling firewall works, create a new inbound rule for UDP port 47808. This allows BACnet to broadcast packages on UDP port 47808. This is a network issue, not Desigo Optic . Other devices should now see the IAm response to WhoIs request.
- If removing bacnetInstances manually through DB Builder, run this query in the Folio App.
- The tool should now run that in a newer version after 090:
readAll(bacnetDevice).findAll(x=> bacnetServerDeviceList().colToList("bacnetDeviceRef").index(x->id) == null).finHardDelete
