The LocalBacnetWsDevice (Local Device) component represents the configuration of the NiagaraAX station as it appears as a BACnet device on the BACnet network. It includes all the same child slots, properties, and actions as the LocalBacnetDevice component in the Bacnet driver. For details, see related sections in Niagara Bacnet Server Operation.

Each LocalBacnetWsDevice also has additional properties relating to operation as the BACnet time-synch master, to send periodic time synch messages to defined BACnet recipient devices.

Starting in AX-3.5, this time synch master functionality was added to the standard BACnet driver (BacnetNetwork), using the same collection of related properties. For details, see Time synchronization properties.
