Issue
How to configure and test RP controller web service
Product Line
EcoStruxure Building Operation
Environment
- Building Operation Room Controller (RPC) 24 V
- Building Operation Room Controller (RPC) 230 V
Cause
In the RP application, a REST (Representational State Transfer) Web Service API is available to facilitate secure HTTPS communications and allow you to obtain BACnet objects and properties from the controller.
Resolution
The following video will illustrate how to:
- Use the SpaceLogic certificate configuration tool to configure keys and certificates in the RP controller.
- Configure RP controller Web Service settings.
- Use SoapUI to test RP controller Web Service.
Things you need:
-
Software
-
EBO 2022 or later server (Enterprise Server, AS-P or AS-B) and WorkStation.
-
SpaceLogic RP controller, RP-C Advanced, RP-C Pro, RP-C Pro Plus and RP-V Advanced, with firmware V4.00.01 or later.

For more information and how to generate certificates, please check RP Controller | Developer Portal.
Note:
- Before configuring the Web Services in RP controller, make sure that there no pending IP changes, by checking "Changes pending" property in IP Network Settings Properties – Basic Tab. If "Changes pending" is true, click Activate changes in the IP commands menu, as explained in Configuring BACnet/IP Controller IP Network Settings
- For EcoStruxure Building Operation version 4.0.3 or later, a new EBO Workstation command named Export device identifying information is available. It is found in the main context menu of SpaceLogic RP Series controllers and allows the user to save an xml file that can later be imported into the SpaceLogic Certificate Configuration Tool to aid in the efficient configuration of SpaceLogic controllers within the tool. The user may select one or more RP Series controllers when executing the command. Refer to: Exporting Device Information to the SpaceLogic Certificate Configuration Tool
