Add nE2 Device to Niagara Station

Before you can program or commission an nE2 device from Niagara, you need to add it to the Niagara stations' database. The process is the same if you are using a local station on a workbench or supervisor PC, or if you are using a remote station in a Niagara controller.

Note:    The native BACnet support of EDGE ENGINE devices, such as the RAC18-IP, guarantees that they can be discovered on the BACnet IP network out of the box.

  1. Make sure that the Niagara BACnet network is correctly set up in the station.
  2. Discover the nE2 devices on your network.
  3. Add the discovered nE2 device(s) which you want to program to your station database.

Note:    Instead of using the discovery process, you could also add nE2 devices manually if you know their network address.

Proceed by adding the nE2 Device Extension which is used for programming as described here.
