How get/set value from my device ?

[Valter Henrique]

Hi everyone,
i'm trying BACNet4J, and i have to say great job!

I ran Test2.java from 'test' package, and everything was fine, but now i'm trying to get and set value from my device, so i'm trying to run CommandPriority.java but with no sucess .
Here is my code: http://pastebin.com/Bwp9qbcA

Could someone help me ?

Thanks for you attention.

Best regards,
Valter Henrique.

Is this the same problem as your previous post?

[Valter Henrique]

I think it is.

I really need to know how to write some value in my object, could anyone help me with that ?

I'm trying a lot of example but nothing works for me.

Could anyone, please, help me ?

Best regards,
Valter Henrique.

The simulation environment to work Bacnet4j without real Device

Hi all,

I am vey new bacnet. I want to learn basic needs to work or develop custom application by using bacnet4j. I have not a bacnet device yet but I will develop a application by using bacnet4j. Can we tell how to make a test environment with VTS (Virtual Test Shell), create these devices which is defined in VTS and connect to them by using bacnet4j ? I only want to learn how it can be possible to work on bacnet4j library if you have not real bacnet device ?

we will be appreciated if you reply this.

You can use VTS in the way you describe, yes. You could also have two or mroe instances of BACnet4J communicating with each other. There is code in the test source that should indicate how this can be done.

Thanks for your reply..

My custom application has such a scenario like this.. We are getting alarms info from a software by using its web services..We will take alarms info by using web services and send this information to bacnet device..Is this possible to make a application for a such scenario..

There is a issue in VTS..I defined a device with port and I push send button but VTS is shut down..When I click its icon again, it is opening and closing immediately...Could you help me about this?

Thanks

I found the issue what it is..The issue is MCAFEE antivirus program..?t is blocking bacnet package and closing VTS ..

I need help to use bacnet4j library ...Could you help anyone ? My application should listen bacnet packet and read/write values to bacnet device ? I really appricated if you help me..

Thank you..

Thanks for your code

Actually I need to understand the classes of Bacnet4j..

I am seeing bacnet packages in Wireshark when I sent bacnet packets from Virtual Test Shell. ..

What must I write the argument of LocalDevice class to capture these package in Bacnet4j lib in java? WireShark and VTS is in my local computer so do I must write localhost in LocalDevice as a argument?

All I want is to manage and control the bacnet device from Bacnet4j lib ...

I am beginner of these library and there is no document to study on, so I need to understand and learn what it is going on..
