Hey all,

Looking to see if anyone has a resource for automating/scripting the device creation process for BacNET devices. Unfortunately, the ignition driver as i feel many are aware for BacNET is lacking and doesn't allow for device discovery and auto population. So instead of having to build out several hundreds of devices by hand, I was hoping someone had possibly developed a more elegant solution.

Hi Steve,

Yes, it is possible to create Bacnet device connections through scripting. However, it requires checking the internal database on your local machine. I would recommend contacting your Sales rep to schedule a meeting with Sales Engineering to discuss this in more details.

Best,
