Importing Configuration Data to BACnet

Importing Data from an XML File

 

The BACnet Connector allows you to import data from an XML file to your configuration database. XML has the following advantages over the CSV import/export function.

To Import Data:

  1. Right-click on an item within the BACnet Connector’s Tree Explorer. This can include a database, network, Device, Port or Object level of the BACnet Connector Tree Explorer. Select Import from the pulldown menu.

  2. The Open dialog box appears, at which point you can navigate to an existing file location, enter the file name in the text entry box or select a recent file by clicking My Recent Documents. Click Open to proceed.

  3. An Import dialog box appears. You must select either Create new items or Update existing items, otherwise there is nothing to import.
