Make sure you download the new bundle to take advantage of several bug-fixes, new features and improvements.
Here is a quick summary of important changes:
- BACnet kit
- Added Utc Time synchronization from master BACnet device
- Added Time Schedules synchronization from master BACnet device
- Added point discovery from Niagara
This last feature is real cool. It lets you discover any slot on anycomponent on the device and add it as a proxy point, right on the point manager view. Works with both AX and N4. Works with both BACnet IP and MSTP. Works with both P-ION and R-ION devices. And you need to add and configure only a single component to enable that. (expect a future mail shot dedicated to this feature only.) -
DALI kit
- Added support to parse non-standard DALI telegrams (e.g. 3-bytes long)
- Added 'toggle' input slot to BooleanWritable types -
ModbusTcp Master kit
New kit. Previously, we had ModbusTcp Slave. Now, with this addition, it is easy to share data between Sedona IP devices directly.
This complements our suite of driver kits including BACnet IP, BACnet MSTP, Modbus RTU master, Modbus RTU slave, Modbus TCP master, Modbus TCP slave - not to mention more exotic possibilities like being able to share data over DALI bus. -
