ENGINEERING MODES
There are two kinds of engineering you can use for engineering an Spyder Model 5 project:
•
Offline Engineering
In this mode, you create an empty BACnet device manually, add an application and match it afterwards to a device
discovered on the BACnet bus by using the service pin. This is normally applied when doing the engineering in the
office without having the hardware available but knowing the hardware specification of the devices to be used later
at the plant.
•
Online Engineering
In this mode, you discover the devices on the BACnet network in the first step and use the devices instantly for
application engineering. This is recommended when doing the engineering directly at the site with the devices
already installed on the BACnet bus.
Offline Engineering
Offline engineering includes the following steps:
•
Create IrmBacnetDevice
•
Create application for the IrmBacnetDevice (optional)
•
Later at the site, do the following:
o
Connect to the BACnet network
o
Discover devices on the BACnet network
o
Match the empty device with a discovered device
o
Synchronize the application, if necessary, by applying any of the following actions appropriately:
-
Learn from controller
-
Teach to controller
-
Clear project
-
Clear controller
