Editing the BACnet Point Manager Settings

BACnet communication in GENESIS, specifically the SQL Server and database settings, is configured together with other components during the initial system configuration. To change the default settings for a new or existing project, you need to configure the BACnet point manager in the application settings in Workbench.

To configure the BACnet point manager:

  1. Open Workbench, and then select your project in the Project Explorer.
  2. On the Home ribbon, select Configure Application(s) Settings.

  3. On the Applications tab in the Available Applications section, make sure that BACnet is selected (this is the default setting).
  4. Click the SQL Server and Catalog fields to access the drop-down list, and then select the desired SQL server and catalog (database).

    To create a new database configuration associated with BACnet, select Database button in the first column in the BACnet row. If you are sure that there is no previous configuration or you do not mind overwriting it, click OK to confirm the action.

  5. Click Apply. The Notes field should indicate Configuration Active.
