BACnet OWS FeaturesBACnet AWS FeaturesNew SBS Parts for Linux and 64 bit SupervisorsNew Modbus TCP Slave Driver for SupervisorsSlide3
New Supervisor BACnet Licensing
AX Supervisor BACnet Driver will now be offered in the following forms: BACnet IP Client Driver BACnet Server Driver
BACnet Client/Server Bundle
Continue to add capacity by 500 Point BlocksSlide4
DR-S-BAC-AX Now ObsoleteThe current BACnet Supervisor Driver will no longer be offered which uses the
bacnetWS module.The part number DR-S-BACNET is the net client and server bundle for the supervisor
The
bacnetws
module will be included in the 3.7 build, but Tridium will discontinue further development on this module
All future enhancements will be provided for in the
bacnetOws
and
bacnetAws
modules Slide5
OWS BACnet Listing
What is OWS?The Operator
W
ork
S
tation (OWS) provides additional functionality to the Supervisor to be beyond the standard features of the BACnet IP Client Driver and is listed by BTL.
Value of OWS
Meet BTL listing requirements for an OWS
Qualify for specifications calling out OWS Listed products
Additional Supervisor Features Slide6
OWS Features
In addition to features included with the standard BACnet Client driver, the OWS option offers:Event InformationFor BACnet devices that support
GetEventInformation
service, outstanding device events that were not logged in Niagara may be requested. The event is then propagated to the Niagara alarm service. For devices that support
GetAlarmSummary
, the driver will display unacknowledged alarms, but not import alarms into the Niagara alarm service.
Enrollment Summary
Retrieves a summary of BACnet objects within a device that match a set of user definable criteria.
Configurable Threads for Polling
Device polling threads may be increased to more than 2 threads if increased performance is needed.
Configurable Threads for Proxy Point Writes
Multiple threads may now be configured for proxy points. Useful for networks that have a large number of proxy points configured to write on start.Slide7
Target Customers for OWSThe daily operator who needs the ability to monitor basic system status and to perform simple modification to the operation of the system

AWS BTL ListingWhat is AWS?
The Advanced W
ork
S
tation (AWS) provides the highest level of functionality to the Supervisor to Monitor and Control a BACnet System
Value of AWS
Meet BTL listing requirements for an AWS
Qualify for specifications calling out AWS Listed products
Additional Supervisory Functions for
BACnet Systems Slide10
AWS Features
In addition to the OWS option features, the AWS option provides:Communication Control
Control a device’s ability to generate traffic on a network. Useful for diagnostics or if a device is faulty.
Reinitialize Device
Ability to restart a device from the AWS
Backup Device
(for devices that support DM-BR-B BIBB)
Backup a device’s configuration to a file
Restore Device
(for devices that support DM-BR-B BIBB)
Restore a previous backup to a device
History Import Manager
Import BACnet Event Log objects to a Niagara history.
Configuration Manager
(for devices that support this functionality)
Create additional BACnet objects in a BACnet device
Delete BACnet objects in a BACnet deviceSlide11
Target Customer for AWSBuilding operator or technician with an advanced level of technical ability
Provides support for limited configuration actions and ongoing commissioning activities Projects that specify BACnet AWSSlide12
AWS Device Manager View
Additional Features compared to BACnet OWSSlide13
AWS Config Manager – New Features
Create new BACnet objects in the remote BACnet device
Delete selected BACnet objects in the remote BACnet device Slide14
BACnet Server and AWS/OWS
OWS and AWS were not tested by BTL with the export function enabled Server functionality is not required by BTL for the OWS/AWS Device Profiles The OWS and AWS Parts can only be added to the BACnet IP Client Driver on the AX Supervisor to keep the BTL listing valid
If the OWS or AWS parts are added to a station with the BACnet Export enabled, the BTL listing will become invalid Slide15
BACnet B-BC Listing for JACEsThe JACE BACnet Driver received the
B-BC Listing in 2008. The BACnet Driver is B-BC listed for NiagaraAX version 3.2.20 and higher
Includes the Server Features
If a customer needs BTL Listed OWS/AWS and BTL Listed Server features, use a JACE and Supervisor combination Slide16
Upgrading a BACnet Supervisor An existing BACnet Supervisor station is not directly upgradable to run as a BACnet AWS or BACnet OWS Supervisor
An “offline conversion utility” is provided in the
bacnetAws
and
bacnetOws
modules
This tool is documented in the Appendix of the BACnet Guide (available on Niagara Central)
–Converts the config.bog database file Slide17
Upgrading an OWS to an AWS Station
If a customer purchases OWS and needs/desires to upgrade to AWS, there is an additional charge and part number to order the AWS module An offline converter tool is used to upgrade the config.bog database file to be compatible as a BACnet AWS Supervisor
Documented in the Appendix of the BACnet Guide (available on Niagara Central) Slide18
OWS/AWS Licensing Requirements
BACnet OWS Requires purchasing the BACnet IP Client Driver for the AX Supervisor
The supervisor PC must be running
AX 3.6 or later with the
bacnet
and
bacnetOws
modules in the modules folder
The Supervisor PC must have both the
bacnet
feature and the bacnetOws
feature in its license
BACnet AWS
Requires purchasing the BACnet IP Client Driver for the AX Supervisor
Must be running
AX-3.6 or later with the
bacnet
,
bacnetOws
, and bacnetAws
modules in the module folder
The Supervisor PC must have the
bacnet
feature,
bacnetOws
feature, and
bacnetAws
feature in its license Slide19
New SBS Supervisor Options
64-bit Windows Small Building Supervisor 32-bit Linux Small Building Supervisor Both the 64-bit Windows Small Building Supervisor and the 32-bit Linux Small Building Supervisor will have identical features to the current 32-bit Windows Small Building Supervisor
Limit of any 3 JACE controllers
Only database drivers can be added to the Small Building Supervisor
Install a high-performance system in a small building with the option to expand laterSlide20
