Creating and Using Device Templates

Opening a NodeBuilder Project from the NodeBuilder Project
Manager

You can open a NodeBuilder project by starting the NodeBuilder Project Manager standalone. To do
this, follow these steps:

1. Open the NodeBuilder Project Manager. To do this, click Start on the taskbar, point to

Programs, point to Echelon NodeBuilder, and then click NodeBuilder Development Tool. The
NodeBuilder Project Manager starts.

2. Click File and then click Open Project. The New Project wizard starts with the Select Network

dialog.

3. To associate an existing LonMaker network with your existing NodeBuilder project, clear the Do

Not Open Any Network check box if it is selected, select an existing LonMaker network in the
Network property, and then select the LNS network interface to be used for communication
between the LonMaker network and your NodeBuilder device in the Network Interface property.
Click Next.

Alternatively, you can select the Do Not Open Any Network check box to open a NodeBuilder
project but not associate it with a LonMaker network, and disable automatic LNS device template
creation and automatic load after build. Click Next.

4. The Select NodeBuilder Project File opens.
