Applies to:

All PcVue version.


Symptom:

After importing an EDE File, PcVue does not give the possibility to add a device.
The device is not displayed in the list.


Details:

If you want to realize offline configuration and add a device, you have to import an EDE file in PcVue.
The first step is to import from the BACnet network the EDE file and then select the device in the “Offline -EDE” device list.

But sometimes, nothing is displayed and the list is empty. Mostly, the problem comes from the EDE file.
The EDE file contains configuration elements such as Analog-Output or Schedule objects and their identification information (Instance Number, KeyName,..).
To display the device in the “Offline-EDE” list, the EDE file must contain the Device Object with its Instance Number and KeyName.
The solution is to add a specific line in the EDE file with Device Object information.

Attached an example of EDE file.
