It allows scanning the BACnet network for devices and objects. Based on this information, it provides a configurable automatic application generation process of the corresponding Ignition application objects.
Engineering Tools
Relatech CXS BACnet Application Generator
The CXS BACnet application generator for Ignition significantly simplifies the implementation of large BACnet applications and decreases engineering effort to a minimum.
Features and Benefits
Build an entire application in three steps: scan, configure and create
The CXS BACnet Application Generator scans and discovers the existing BACnet network for devices and objects. This information is used to build a set of corresponding Ignition BACnet Application Objects.
Model generation
In addition, all IO references and constant attribute values are configured automatically to avoid typing errors and speed up the integration process. A hierarchical model of the site is generated.
Namespace support
Decode custom naming conventions to create a rich area model and complex objects like HVACs etc.
Resynchronize changes
The application generator allows resynchronization of the application after modifying the application or reconfiguring BACnet devices.
Documented process
The entire process of creating the application objects is logged and can be exported for documentation purposes.
Supports standardization
The CXS BACnet Application Generator allows using pre-configured Ignition templates as well as generating the required templates as they are needed.
Supports BACnet service configuration
The CXS BACnet Application Generator autoconfigures the BACnet alarm provider features as well as the WW historian integration for BACnet TrendLogs.
