Adding Devices to a BACnet Channel

Typically, you add all existing devices on the BACnet network(s) to your project in Workbench by performing a network discovery on the channel.

If needed, you can also manually add devices, objects, and properties, or you can directly discover devices or objects by sending a Who-Is or Who-Has broadcast request.
