The BACnet Point Manager view is available for each device added to the BACnet network. It allows to discover new BACnet points available for the devices and lists all BACnet points added to the Device component (AnalogPoint/BinaryPoint/MultistatePoint and AnalogCustomPoint/BinaryCustomPoint/StringCustomPoint).
The BACnet Point Manager view is divided into 2 sections: Discovered and BACnet Point Manager. In the Discovered section, the view shows the points' name, object Id, object type, type and value. In the BACnet Point Manager section, the view shows the points' Out slot value, status, object name and ID, polling mode, and enabled or disabled state.
In the BACnet Point Manager, it is possible to:
-
discover BACnet points of the given BACnet device:
To discover points of the given BACnet device, use the Discover button. The progress of the discovering process is presenter on a bar.
Once points are discovered for the device, they appear in the Discovered window. To manage the points, add them to the Point Manager section (drag and drop or use the Add button - if the list includes a lot of points to add, first, use the Select All option from the context menu).
-
manually add BACnet points:
-
edit the BACnet point’s name, units, address and enable/disable the component:
Note
Editing is possible for more than one point at a time. If multiple points are edited, the same new value is written to common slots, so individual slots, such as Name, cannot be edited in this manner.
-
copy/paste/duplicate/delete BACnet points:
Opening the BACnet Point Manager
The BACnet Point Manager view is accessible from the context menu of the Device component. It is also automatically opened if the Device component is double-clicked in the nav tree window.
