Sorry if my question could seems strange (how I'm using BACnet) but I did not found on the documentation how to read BACnet objects with Unicast pacquet.
I have to read 2 objects present_value from 2 devices that are not on the same subnet than my Ignition server. There is no BBMD.
I can ping devices, I can use Yabe or BACeye on the server to read object but how should i setup my tags on Ignition please?
Of course, my devices on OPC UA device are uninitialized cause the "who-is" pacquet never receive "i-am" answer.
I tried to create a tag with the correct BACnet mapping but I get an Error_Configuration.
Did the Ignition BACnet driver only support discover/broadcast for BACnet ?
Yes in case of UDP (who-is, COV subscription, etc... ) => All that make BACnet a nice protocol.
It seems that BACnet driver is based on UDP.
Do you know if there is a way to run TCP request. I'm seeing your name very often here, how did you managed BACnet before the dedicated driver on Ignition ?
Most of the BACnet comms are unicast, but you won't be able to do anything until the driver is successfully initialized.
"Initialization" is basically just exchanging who-Is and i-Am messages, plus some additional messages to read the object/property lists after that.
The who-Is is sent both via broadcast and unicast directly to the configured remote address. The i-Am response can come back via either, but it has to come back somehow.
