“CONTROLLER“ Tab
The “CONTROLLER“ tab lists all the controllers for a solution and selected filters. Besides the status display of the individual controllers and the details of their configuration, the connection status of a solution can also be changed on this tab, for example by switching the solution to “Online“ mode.
Designation | Description | |
|---|---|---|
[Firmware update] | Opens the “Firmware update“ dialog to update the firmware for the controllers selected in the list. For more information, see 8 “Firmware Update“ Dialog. | |
[Backup...] | Opens the “Backup” dialog. Here you can create controller backups. You can also define time-based backup routines. For more information, see 8 “Backup“ Dialog. | |
Backup Manager | Opens the “Backup Manager“ dialog for managing controller backups. For more information, see 8 “Backup Manager“ Dialog. | |
Restore | Opens the “Restore“ dialog to restore previous controller backups. The “Restore” dialog shows all backups saved in the WAGO Solution Builder software for the selected controller. After selecting a backup, you can initiate a restore. | |
[Execute...] | Executes scripts on the selected controller. | |
[BACnet] | Opens the WAGO BACnet Configurator for editing the selected controller. In this way, besides manual changes to the BACnet configuration that unlink that configuration from the Application template, you can also check the results of a BACnet configuration prior to synchronization. For example, the final use of the BACnet object name can be checked using the addressing system code.
| |
[Offline] | Switches between the “Online“ and “Offline“ mode. The “Online“ mode activates a monitoring job that regularly queries the current status of all the solution’s controllers. These include the “RUN status“ or the current firmware version, for example. The “Offline“ mode is also required in order to start a synchronization job and perform a manual firmware update, as well as for the Backup-and-Restore operation. | |
[Synchronize] | Synchronize changes | Synchronizes only the modified configuration components for the selected controller. |
Synchronize all | Synchronizes the modified and non-modified (i.e., all) configuration components for the selected controller. | |
Merge manually | Opens the “Synchronize differences“ dialog for performing a manually merged synchronization procedure. For more information, see 8 “Synchronize Differences“ Dialog. | |
Status | Indicates the status of the controller and the synchronization with the WAGO Solution Builder software. For the icon legend, see the 8 “Network“ Menu Item. | |
Entity | Shows the name of the controller in the entity tree. | |
Device name | Shows the hostname of the controller in the network. Displaying the hostname requires an active monitoring job that has been successfully completed. | |
IP address | Shows the active IP address of the controller. | |
Relatively higher-level entity | Shows the position of the controller in the entity tree. | |
MAC address | Shows the controller’s MAC address. Displaying the MAC address requires an active monitoring job that has been successfully completed. | |
Device ID | Shows the BACnet device ID of the controller. | |
WBM | Shows the link to Web-based management for the controller. | |
Current firmware version | Shows the current firmware version for the controller. Displaying the current firmware version requires an active monitoring job that has been successfully completed. | |
Required firmware version | Shows the controller firmware version required for the application. | |
Application name | Shows the name of the application. | |
Job | Shows all active jobs for the selected device. | |
