[Import BACnet]

Imports a WAGO BACnet Configurator project file in *.wbc format. The project file may contain a scan or EDE import of a third-party BACnet device, for example. As a result, the BACnet device can be placed in the WAGO Solution Builder entity tree as a “third-party controller“ and integrated into the cross-communication.
