Scan for Devices from the BACnet Object Browser

The BACnet Object Browser scans the BACnet network for devices and their status.

  1. The Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) from the manufacturer supports the required devices and objects.
  2. In Desigo CC, the BACnet network and driver have been configured.
  1. Open the Windows Start menu and select All Programs > [Vendor name] > Desigo CC > Tools > BACnet Browser.
  2. The BACnet Object Browser scans the network for BACnet devices.
    NOTE: If multiple networks were defined, they are not displayed using the defined network names. The designation in the BACnet Object Browser is System1_1, System1_2, System1_3, and so on.
  3. Select a device from the system tree in the left pane.
  4. The right pane is updated with all the device information, sorted by property name and value column.
  5. For any subsequent discovery (application of a filter), take note of the following data:
    • Vendor-identifier
      NOTE: The ESMI vendor identifier is Schneider Electric 10.
    • Object-identifier
  1. The scan for devices is completed. The device data needed to set the filter criteria and run the network scan in Desigo CC is now available.
