For the data in a controller station’s database to be shared with the Supervisor station and beyond, the unique properties
that configure a controller must be present as a node under the Supervisor’s BACnet network. While you may discover the controller
stations, add each controller configuration as a New AWS or OWS device, or drag a BacnetAwsDevice or BacnetOwsDevice from the appropriate palette to the BACnet network node in the Supervisor station, this procedure documents using the New button on the Bacnet Aws Device Manager.
Prerequisites: You are using
Workbenchrunning in a PC and connected to the Supervisor station.
- Expand and double-click BacnetAwsNetwork.
The Bacnet Aws Device Manager opens.
- Click New.
A New window opens.
- Add one or more BACnet AWS devices and click OK.
The second
New window opens.
- Name each device and configure the
Device ID, Netwk and MAC Addr (IP address) for each, then click OK.As a best practice, consider naming devices for the controller IP addresses. You don’t have to use the entire address, just
the last two or three digits.
The driver creates a controller network record for each controller under the Supervisor station’s BacnetAwsNetwork.
