7.6.3.5.1 Overview
Network Planner allows the user to:
• create a graphical representation of a network, as shown in figure Network
Planner Setup
(p. 107).
• determine settings for devices and LoggerNet.
• program devices and LoggerNet with new settings.
Why is Network Planner needed?
• PakBus protocol allows complex networks to be developed.
• Setup of individual devices is difficult.
• Settings are distributed across a network.
• Different device types need settings coordinated.
Caveats
• Network Planner aids in, but does not replace, the design process
• It aids development of PakBus networks only.
• It does not make hardware recommendations.
• It does not generate datalogger programs.
