BACnet Manager

A “BACnet Manager” object is added to the program structure to manage a WBC project file directly in the IEC Development Environment project.

The WBC project file can be opened from the main menu via the [Open in WAGO BACnet Configurator] button. Digital and analog channels of the hardware modules or logical BACnet objects can be imported. All commands in the main menu always refer to the active application. When you close the configurator, the “BACnet Manager“ object is synchronized with any changes you made, and the corresponding program code is then generated.

The object editor displays a list of the BACnet objects in the project in the workspace.

Note:
Note that the name of the controller in the IEC development environment project must match the device name in the WBC project file. The name is applied automatically when data is imported into the WBC project file. If you change one of these names at a later time, the other name must also be changed.
