7.8.6 Export Server Objects to an EDE File
When engineering offline it can be beneficial to hand out the server object configuration of
the device to other parties electronically. For doing so you may export the server object
configuration to a set of EDE files. The set of EDE files consist of the main EDE file, e.g.
myDevice.csv
. This file contains the list of all objects and refers to state texts that are
exported to a second file named
myDevice-states.csv
. For which components are exported
in an EDE file, please refer to Section 8.3.9.
To Export an EDE File
1.
Select the
BACnet Port
folder.
2.
Right-click and select
Export EDE …
in the context menu. This opens the EDE export
dialog to enter the EDE header information as shown in Figure 170.
Figure 170: EDE Export Dialog.
3.
Click the
button to select the EDE file export location.
4.
Specify the
Device Name
and
Device Instance
. The device instance will be used by
other tools to configure their BACnet clients for accessing the exported device.
5.
Optionally fill in project name, author to document that information in the EDE file.
