To use the NiagaraAX obixDriver, you must have a target NiagaraAX host (JACE, AxSupervisor) that is licensed with the “obixDriver” feature. This provides the station with oBIX client operation.

To also operate as an oBIX server, note the obixDriver license feature must contain the attribute “export=true”. For an example see below.<feature name="obixDriver" expiration="never" device.limit=none export=true foreignDevice.limit=500 foreignHistory.limit=500 foreignPoint.limit=500 foreignSchedule.limit=500 history.limit=none point.limit=none schedule.limit=none parts="ENG-WORKSTATION"/>In addition, oBIX server operation requires the host to have the web module installed, and so be licensed for the “web” feature.

Note that for oBIX client operation, limits on “foreign” devices, histories, proxy points, or schedules may exist in your license’s obixDriver feature. Such “foreign limits” apply only to external oBIX servers mapped as ObixClients that are not Niagara stations (either NiagaraAX or Niagara R2).In other words, Niagara oBIX servers mapped into the station’s ObixNetwork (usually Niagara R2 stations) are not counted in these foreign limits, only in the “regular” limits, which are typically unlimited (have values of “none”) as shown in the license example above.
