“ADDRESSING” Tab
The “ADDRESSING“ tab can optionally be filled when an addressing system is also to be used in addition to naming of entities using plain text (see “Solution Name“ under 8 “CONFIGURATION” Tab).
If BACnet objects are linked with “data point” entities, the “Object_Name“ property of the objects will be replaced with the addressing system identifiers when deployed to the device. This is the main use case for the addressing system in the WAGO Solution Builder.
The addressing system has a hierarchical structure, assigning every entity a special identifier that is determined by the position of the entity in the tree and the entities parameterized on this basis.
Based on the project requirements, addressing systems can be modified via xml files or newly created. The addressing systems in the scope of supply are available as templates in the installation directory of the WAGO Solution Builder at the following path: Config\BuildingStructures. You can contact WAGO Technical Support if you need technical assistance or have other modification requests.
The contents of this tab are based on the selected entity and on the addressing system.
Designation | Description | |
|---|---|---|
[Locked] | Locked | Blocks the current value for the “Addressing system identifier“ box for this entity so that it cannot be automatically changed. |
Lock all | Blocks the current value for the “Addressing system identifier“ box for this entity and all of its child entities so that they cannot be automatically changed. | |
[Recalculate] | Recalculate | Initiates manual recalculation of the addressing system for this entity. |
Recalculate all | Initiates manual recalculation of the addressing system for this entity and for all of its child entities. | |
Designation of selected entity type (In the sample figure shown here: Building) | The entity is addressed here based on the configuration in the addressing system. Pre-configured selection options, numbering or free text are available for selection via a drop-down menu with a full-text search function. | |
Addressing system identifier | Current addressing system identifier for the entity This identifier consists of the entity's own abbreviation (see “Designation of selected entity type” box) and of those of the higher-order entities. Manual input is normally not required here, as the box is generated automatically. If manual modifications are made, the box is released from the automatic mechanism and the icon “Manually defined value” is displayed (see 8 General Operating Elements and Icons). | |
Addressing hierarchy | Composition of the entity addressing identifier, including a description | |
Pos. | Quantity and position of the characters for the level in the addressing identifier | |
Name | Name of the level | |
Type | Level type The type also determines what and how many characters are available for a level. Examples:
| |
Description | Description of the selected addressing identifier | |
Value | Addressing system identifier for individual levels | |
