Ignition installation in Docker can't connect with Bacnet Device

Ignition
1

Hello
I have some problems connecting my Ignition/docker Installation with bacnet devices.

My port configuration on docker

 	
0.0.0.0:4445 -> 4445/tcp
0.0.0.0:4446 -> 4446/tcp
0.0.0.0:47808 -> 47808/tcp
0.0.0.0:47808 -> 47808/udp
0.0.0.0:8060 -> 8060/tcp
0.0.0.0:8088 -> 8088/tcp

I have a bacnet client on the same network as the docker computer. It finds all my devices. Ignition and ventilation.
Ignition can connect to a modbus device that are connected on the same network as the ventilation.

My logs tells me that it's more devices with the same device number. But it's not.

IAmRequest	25May2023 23:31:39
	Another instance with my device instance ID found at Address [networkNumber=0, macAddress=[ac,15,0,1,cf,7d]]
IAmRequest	25May2023 23:31:00
	Another instance with my device instance ID found at Address [networkNumber=0, macAddress=[ac,15,0,1,dd,1]]

I think is something to do with the * Config* Bacnet * Local Devices Setup.
On Bind Address. I have tried but linux host IP address. Then I get a error

Error initializing LocalDevice "Ignition_Local_BacNet". bindAddress=10.80.4.10, bindPort=47808, networkNumber=1, deviceNumber=11000

If I use the hostname on the docker/ignition container virtual network. I don't get this error.

I'm don't know whats right to put on the Broadcast Address.

I drew a picture to try and explain better

If you're running this directly on Linux and you're trying to publish all of the ports, perhaps just remove all of those port publishes and use host networking?

3

With respect to running it on a Docker network, can you share the specific syntax you're using to publish the UDP ports? The default is TCP and the port configuration you listed isn't clear (as it pertains to the applied configuration on the container). Perhaps you can share the contents of docker inspect <container> if there isn't anything too special in there?

We have been using this docker-compose file on other projects. But then with out bacnet. just opca/ua and modbus.

With this docker-compose setup I can se the Ignition bacnet Client.

I ask ChatGPT it said that the docker container should be like this. More ports is redirected

docker run -d --name ignition \
  -p 8088:8088 -p 8043:8043 -p 8060:8060 -p 8080:8080 -p 2810:2810 -p 27101:27101 -p 47808:47808/udp \
  quay.io/ignition/ignition:latest

I tride to do this in my docker-compose file. and made just ignition

One differens I found on this setup is that the IAmRequest error don't appear.

Just let me know if there is more information you need

I tried to setup on of the devices as a BBMD +FB since it's on a different network.

image
I'm not sure what the BC-Mask should be. I tried 255.255.255.0.

Then my device comes up as a BBMD device on the bacnet scanner.

The bacnet scanner is on the same network as the linux server with docker.
I tried to setup my bacnet local device in ignition with the same BBMD settings as I had setup my bacnet scanner.

It did not help:(

For BACnet, I'd recommend using network_mode: host for your Compose service (since you're running on Docker Engine on Linux directly, this isn't available on Docker Desktop). To target your database container from Ignition in this configuration, you'd use localhost:3306 for the address/port (since you're now actually hitting localhost of your host computer, and thus the published ports from the other service).

Refer to this setup guide for local devices and remote devices for more information. I've not worked with BACnet much, but the one thing that jumped out to me in your screenshot was the Bind Address, that should probably be 0.0.0.0 to listen on all interfaces.

Also, make sure that you're targeting the correct path for your Ignition data volume (note: it is different between kcollins/ignition and our official image inductiveautomation/ignition).

I put together an updated Docker Compose YML, the content of which is below:

I include the log file from the ignition.
I set it to debug in the hope that it could give you more info.

What is the configuration in Ignition for the remote devices? Disclaimer: I don't know much about BACnet

You mean this one?

I should be pretty simple

  • IP address of the remote host,
  • port number for communication default 47808
  • device ID that the device have. Inn my case 2001
  • Write priority is on of 16 different priority's on the tag.
  • COV. Data clients subscribe to an object for COV reporting. The device monitors the value of the object property, monitors the subscription list and the change criteria. When the change criteria are met the devices sends notifications of the new value to the subscribers.

The typical that is wrong with bacnet is the BBMD setup when the devices is on different networks.

Introduction on BBMD

But I think it is setup right, everything works on the bacnet client.
The devices is auto discovered on the client.

This devices is auto discoverer

I can search for the devices with the IP address and port number.
This is how I connect bacnet devices to a kepware server. With IP and port nr.
image

I tried to change the
Broadcast Address to 10.80.4.255
From the manual. Broadcast Address A network address shared by other BACnet devices to send and receive UDP data.
