Description

[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 software’s entity tree as a “third-party controller“ and integrated into the cross-communication.

For more information, see 8 “Import BACnet Project“ Dialog.

[Scan network]

Scans an existing IP network using a ping query or BACnet mechanisms. You can then select the device type, such as “Controller“ or “Third-party controller“ for the responding devices; the devices are then placed in the WAGO Solution Builder software’s entity tree.
