Hi,
There is no proper topic to post the following so I will use this Internal one.
You probably remember another Forum thread about using PcVue as BACnet Server. It was pointed out that on the same station, BACnet client cannot be used as BACnet server at the same time.
This being said, who has already implemented it on a site or on a platform?
KB858 is an internal article. I was trying to test it with PcVue 15.2.1 and there are some issues I will let you know.
Thanks.
Regards,
Edouard

Here are the feedbacks:
1. Do not use the DLL from the package ServerDLL.zip the good DLL is always the one installed by PcVue.
UsrMgr.dat can definitely be used.
2. Implementing it as described, you will get these errors:
- - Cannot load BACnetServer configuration XML file, please check your file
- - Can't find BACnetServerStack.ini file in the Project configuration folder C
Actually, all the files in ServerFiles.zip are expected in the C folder instead of PER and some names differ from the documentation.
- BACnetServerConfig.xml => .CBACnetServerConfig.xml
- BACnetUnits.xml => .CBACnetServerUnits.xml
- bacstackd.ini => .CBACnetServerStack.ini
At the end, launching the project "prj_bacnetsrv" provided, the last errors are "Incorrect or unsupported object datatype (xx)" and this is where I cannot help anymore.
Only the developer could answer.

For information, Nagen made the tests 2 years ago 🙂

Hello everybody,
Nowaday, this feature is described in the PcVue help so my advice would be to not follow the not updated instruction of the KB article.
The next step must be to find the leak of information or mystakes done in the PcVue help.
Same advice for busbar, ICCP, SNMP Agent, etc
Hope it helps.
xoxo
