Adding ACE proxy points to the station

The Local ACE Device has a Points extension, which provides a way for the station to interact with the ACE App to gather data. Using Discovery you can add ACE proxy points to the station database to transfer data from the App to your station, and to control functions of the App from your station.
Prerequisites:
  • You have an existing station configured with the AceEdgeNetwork
  • You have an existing ACE App that contains logic already running in memory.

Perform the following steps:
  1. Expand the AceEdgeNetwork in the station Drivers node and in the App, double-click the Points folder to open the Ace Point Manager view.
  2. Click Discover.
    The Discover pane lists one folder for every discovered ACE component in the App.
  3. Click to expand a folder.
    This reveals the slots of that component which can be added as proxy points.
  4. Select one or more of the exposed slots and click Add.
    The selected slots are added as proxy points in the station Database pane, as shown in the example image.
  5. In the Workbench toolbar, click the Save icon to save your changes to the station.
