Pulling data to Mango via BACnet from another network
-
Hello, I have a question, I have a PLC which is in another network than my MangoES, can I access the points from the PLC with BACnet IP and create a data source in MangoES with the points from that PLC?
And if this is possible can someone give me some direction on how to do it?
Thank you!

you can search for 'BBMD' in this forum. There should be enough articles to get you started.

@cwangv Hi, I have searched on the forum and over the internet too about BBMD since this is a new thing for me... So, I have a question , I'm not sure that I get it right, do I need an extra device, a BBMD Router to be able to communicate with my PLC which is in another network?
Thank you!

@sky_watcher
Mango cannot be a BBMD at this moment. So either your PLC can or you will have to get a device that can be a BBMD.Just thinking out loud, why not try making the PLC and Mango communicate over Modbus TCP? Network routing will be much simpler so long you can get a router to work between the two networks.

Hi sky_watcher,
@cwangv is correct that Mango does not expose options to operate as a BBMD, and you did say it's a MangoES so that applies. But this is the BACnet4J section of the forum, so I must mention there is code to do this in BACnet4J. Notice the bbmdEnabled variable in LocalDevice,
