Issue
Added multiple Lon devices to Lon Network and need to mirror SNVTs from more than one device to the Local Node
Product Line
EcoStruxure Building Operation
Environment
- Building Operation Automation Server Premium
- Building Operation Enterprise Server
Cause
Using SNVT bindings between devices and the Local Node of the EBO server allows LON communications bandwidth to be optimized by using the LonWorks protocol Send and Receive Heartbeats configured per device. However, it can be a time-consuming task to mirror SNVTs from multiple identical devices. This time can be reduced by selecting SNVTs in multiple devices using search.
Resolution
- Create a new search
- Search for one SNVT that is available on multiple devices
- Use this article to create the mirrored SNVTs in the local node: Creating Network Variables Automatically
- Search for the next SNVT that is available on multiple devices
- Repeat until all desired SNVTs are mirrored.
RECOMMENDATION: Save the searches for use later when adding more new devices.
