Issue
Merging controllers from different Continuum DB
Environment
CyberStation
All CX controllers
Cause
Due to various reasons it is sometimes necessary to bring into the Continuum DB a controller and its object (points, programs and possibly children controllers such as b3 or Infinet controllers) that have been configured in a different Continuum DB.
Resolution
- Create the Controller object in the Continuum database and ensure controller comes online.
- Set the 'Send To Database Options' appropriately, for example make sure to select 'Save attached objects and controllers' to bring in field devices.
- Perform a save to database by right clicking on the controller and selecting 'Save to' \ 'Database'
- If BACnet controller (bCX4040), perform a 'Find new BACnet device from the root then do a send to database on the bCX and b3s to get the BACnet objects into the DB
