The Bacnet Aws Config Manager is also the default view for any BacnetAwsConfigFolder under the Config container. To view, right-click BacnetAwsConfigDeviceExt or BacnetAwsConfigFolder and select Views > Bacnet Aws Config Manager.

The Bacnet Aws Config Manager provides all the same functions as the regular Bacnet Config Manager for a BacnetDevice in a BacnetNetwork, plus allows the creation or deletion of BACnet objects (if supported by the target BACnet device).

Discovered pane

As in other manager views, when you click Discover this manager goes to Learn mode, splits into two panes, and executes a discover job. Discover also returns multiple aws device objects, each of which occupies one row in this view. Following are the columns in the Discovered pane:

Columns

Column name Description
Object name Displays the object’s unique name.
Object ID Displays the identifier assigned to the object.
Value Displays the value.
Description Displays additional information about device.

Database Pane

Following are the columns and buttons in the database pane:

Columns

Column name Description
Name Display the name of the object.
Type Displays the object type.
Value Displays the current value.
Object ID Displays the identifier assigned to the object.
Object name Displays the object’s unique name.
Description Displays additional information about device.
Poll Frequency Displays how often the driver polls the device.

Buttons

  • New Folder creates a new folder for devices. Each such folder provides its own set of manager views.
  • New creates a new device record in the database.
  • Edit opens the device’s database record for updating.
  • Discover runs a discover job to locate installed devices, which appear in the Discovered pane. This view has a standard appearance that is similar to all Device Manager views.
  • Cancel ends the current discovery job.
  • Add inserts into the database a record for the discovered and selected object.
  • Match associates a discovered device with a record that is already in the database.
  • Create adds one or more new BACnet objects to the remote BACnet device. A popup New window selects the BACnet object type and numbers to add.
  • Delete sends a delete-object request to the remote BACnet device, which removes the BACnet object from the remote BACnet device.
     NOTE: The Delete key on the keyboard performs a local delete only. The delete keyboard action removes the selected BACnet object from the AWS device Config folder but it does not send a delete-object request to the remote device.
