Requirements

Each Supervisor requires the appropriate license and modules.

AWS requirements

An BACnet AWS Supervisor and any PC running Workbench with which to access a BACnet AWS Supervisor, requires these specific things:

  • Niagara Framework® and the driver’s bacnet, bacnetOws, and bacnetAws modules in the Framework’s modules folder.
  • A license that lists these features: bacnet, and bacnetOws, and bacnetAws. Without a license, the station’s BacnetAwsNetwork remains in fault. The license may also have limits on the number of devices, points, and so forth.

OWS requirements

A BACnet OWS Supervisor and any PC running Workbench with which to access a BACnet OWS Supervisor, requires these specific things:

  • Niagara Framework® and the driver’s bacnet, and bacnetOws modules in the Framework’s modules folder.
  • A license that lists these features: bacnet, and bacnetOws. Without a license, the station’s BacnetOwsNetwork remains in fault. The license may also have limits on the number of devices, points, and so forth.
 NOTE: Neither Supervisor is licensed for the server-side, BACnet export of objects. This is not an issue, as a BACnet workstation’s purpose is to be the ultimate “authoritative client” to all other BACnet devices.
