Discover BACnet devices on connected networks
The Cimetrics BACnet Explorer is a BACnet client that supports the BACnet/IP data link layers. Using the BACnet Explorer, users can discover every BACnet device on the directly-connected network. Devices on different networks can also be discovered if the networks are connected by a BACnet Router or BBMD.
With BACnet Explorer, users can auto-populate BACnet device information with just a few mouse clicks. Objects within discovered devices can be queried for their properties and values. Some property values can also be changed using the Explorer.
Capture, Save and restore your BACnet Network Configuration
The BACnet network configuration can be saved in an XML format file:
This enables users to read/edit the configuration and to provide the configuration to others.
Browse / discover specific BACnet devices and objects
BACnet Explorer also allows the user to discover just one specified device without exploring the whole network. The user does this by specifying the Device ID or the BACnet network address of the target device.
The BACnet Explorer also allows discovery of just one specific object within a discovered device if its object ID is known. This allows an object to be read even if it is not included in the device’s object list, Likewise a proprietary property that was not automatically discovered by the Explorer can be read if its property ID is known.
