14.6 Connecting management stations via
BACnet/Ethernet
↑ Management stations (↑ BACnet clients) are connected to FS720 via BACnet /
Ethernet.
● A BACnet client is connected to the FS720 sub-system via the Ethernet
interface of the Global Access Point (GAP).
● Each individual ↑ 'Station' must be enabled with a ↑ license key for
communicating via the BACnet protocol. The license key must support the
'BACnet function for management stations'.
● Cerberus-Engineering-Tool can export the FS720 configuration in SiB-X format
so that a BACnet client can import this data.
BACnet is a communication protocol with its own logical IDs: 'BACnet device ID'.
'BACnet device ID' can be used to clearly identify each 'Station' as a BACnet
participant.
The '
BACnet device ID
' has two parts. The number for the '
BACnet device object
'
and the instance number.
In Cerberus-Engineering-Tool, the entry for a 'BACnet device ID' is always a
decimal number for the instance number. The ↑ area type is added internally.
Device IDs must be configured at the following points:
● 'BACnet client configuration': In the 'BACnet device ID' property
– The configuration is dependent on 'BACnet client'.
● 'BACnet device object': In the 'Address' property
– 'BACnet device ID' is managed by FS720.
14.6.1 Planning BACnet configuration
The following information is required for ↑ BACnet configuration:
● IP addresses for BACnet devices and ↑ GAP
● Unique BACnet device ID for each BACnet device
● There should be one BBMD (BACnet Broadcast Management Device) each per
sub-net, with one entry each for the other BBMDs and their IP addresses
14.7 Global BACnet configuration
14.7.1 Configuring global BACnet settings
BACnet communication must be active for ↑ BACnet settings to be configured.
Activate BACnet communication as follows:
1. Open the 'Global system configuration' element in the tree view of the 'Network'
task card.
2. Highlight 'Global BACnet configuration'.
3. Check the 'Enable BACnet communication' checkbox on the 'Details' tab.
a BACnet communication is activated.
a More settings can be configured.
