Hi Shaf, each time you post, besides adding a title, please elaborate on the issue, thanks.

Shaf,

It is definitely possible to integrate DCO with SBO (StruxureWare Building Operations), but integration means something different to every customer.  The integration can be simple (ModBus to DCE to DCO) or more involved (SBO to ETL to DCO).  Additionally, there is typically a discussion around the important data to integrate as too much information is just as bad as no information at all. 

For example in one instance of this integration at a customer SBO had 25,000+ data points, out of those we were only interested in 500.  

So it is definitely possible and there are a wide array of options on how to architect the integration.  Hope this helps

Hi Shaf,

We have tested this integration on field & it works as below:

1> We achieved SBO(Automation Server) integration with DCE & captured all BO data points from SBO.

2> However, in DCE by default, you shall not be able to differentiate these points each as separate nodes & you will be able to see data of each node under "view device sensors" option available on right-clicking on the SBO, discovered in DCE.

3> However, if you are interfacing Map view through DCE(by importing some site plan), it would be easily possible for you to segregate these different data points & map them over the respective device in the Map View.

4> It would also be possible to discover these data points in DCO as soon as you add DCE as external device, but I'm not so sure if these individual data points, from SBO, will be available to you as some temperature sensors from NetBotz or they would appear still combined within the SBO discovered.
