BACnet Simulator

For demonstration of the BACnet Driver and the BACnet Application it is useful to operate the BACnet Simulator provided by SCADA Engine. Due to avoid discrepancies, this software must be installed on a different system than the BACnet Driver.

Important: The BACnet Simulator is not part of WinCC OA and must be acquired separately. For more information see: http://www.scadaengine.com/

After a successful installation the following steps have to be executed in order to start the simulation for the BACnet Driver and Application.

  5. In the area "Objects" enter a Device ID, which will be also used in the BACnet Driver configuration, the IP network number and specify how many objects will be simulated per object type.

  6. Confirm the creation.
