Niagara R2 BACnet Alarms: Sending and Acknowledging from G3 Server Console

[Product_Support]

Issue

Can BACnet alarms generated in Niagara R2 be sent to and acknowledged from a Niagara G3 (AX) Server console?

Product Line

TAC IA Series

Environment

• Niagara R2 UNC
• Niagara G3 ENS

Cause

Users need the ability to view and acknowledge BACnet alarms originating from Niagara R2 within a Niagara G3 console for integrated alarm management.

Resolution

This integration is possible by configuring the BACnetRecipient object in Niagara R2.
Follow these steps:

1. Refer to the “Configuring for BACnet Alarm Generation” section in the R2 BACnet Integration Reference Guide.
2. Add the G3 station as a BACnet device under the R2 BACnetService.
3. Add the R2 UNCs as BACnet devices under the G3 NiagaraNetwork.

Tip: The most common oversight is failing to add the G3 station as a BACnet device in R2.
