Add a BacnetNetwork

NoteAs an alternative to the procedure below, you can simply copy (drag and drop) a BacnetNetwork from the bacnet palette in Workbench, placing it in the station’s Config, Drivers container. This applies to a BACnet AWS Supervisor station or BACnet OWS Supervisor station too, except in those cases you would copy either a BacnetAwsNetwork (from the bacnetAws palette) or BacnetOwsNetwork (from the bacnetOws palette). Only one Bacnet network of any type is supported.

To add a BacnetNetwork in the station

Use the following procedure to add a BacnetNetwork under the station’s Drivers container.

To add a BacnetNetwork in the station:

  1. Double-click the station’s Drivers container, to bring up the Driver Manager.

  2. Click the New button to bring up the New DeviceNetwork dialog. For more details, see “Driver Manager New and Edit” in the Drivers Guide.

  3. Select “BacnetNetwork,” number to add: 1, and click OK.

    This brings up a dialog to name the network.

  4. Click OK to add the BacnetNetwork to the station.

    You should have a BacnetNetwork named “BacnetNetwork” (or whatever you named it), under your Drivers folder.
