Add Bindings
Add Bindings allows you to bind two devices wherein at least one device is a Spyder
device. You can bind two devices in any one of the following ways.
- Generate network Object for Source and Target devices
- A Spyder source device with a Spyder target device
- A Spyder source device with a third party target
- A third party source device with a Spyder target device
The Spyder device can be selected under the Source Details or the
Target Details section.
Perform the following to Generate Network Objects for Source and Target devices.
- Select a Spyder Bacnet source device from the Device of Source Details list.
- Click on Generate Network Objects if all required network objects are not present in Object Name.
- Select a Spyder Bacnet source device from the Device of Target Details list.
- Click on Generate Network Objects if all required network objects are not present in Object Name.
Perform the following to bind two Spyder devices.
- Select a Spyder Bacnet source device from the Device list.
- Select the source object from the Object list.
Note: Click

should be different from the priority index being driven by the controlprogram logic.
- Click OK to bind the two devices.
Perform the following to bind a Spyder source device with a third party target device.
- Select a Spyder source device from the Device list.
- Select the source object from the Object list.
- Select presentValue from the Property list.
- Select a third party target device from the Device list.
- Select the target Object Type from the list.
- Type the object instance number in the Object ID text box. A default Object
Name is provided for the target object.
