OpenBOS
OpenBOS
The OpenBOS app in BuildingPro Suites enables the seamless integration and synchronization of data from ABB Ability™ Building Edge systems. Thanks to this integration, you can automatically import assets, data points, and alarms from your building automation into BuildingPro Suites.
The main advantage is continuous asset creation (CAC). After the initial configuration, assets and asset types are automatically created and organized in BuildingPro Suites, adopting the structure from OpenBOS. This significantly reduces manual effort and ensures a constantly up-to-date data basis.
Before You Begin
Before configuring the connection, make sure that:
the Building Edge has been preconfigured and its organization is connected to a cloud portfolio; see Check the Building Edge Configuration;
you can access the corresponding tenant in BuildingPro Suites; see Check License and Access Status; and
a valid BuildingPro Suites license is available; see Check License and Access Status;
the openBOS as a Service and openBOS Capacity licenses have been activated and assigned to the Building Edge; see Assign OpenBOS Licenses; and
the openBOS app is available in the tenant; see Open openBOS config.
How to Connect OpenBOS to BuildingPro Suites
The connection is made in three simple steps:
Required steps in the OpenBOS Building Edge: Before configuring the app in BuildingPro Suites, complete the Building Edge configuration checks, including the local and cloud configuration and API Subscriptions.
App activation: Open the openBOS app configuration and make sure that the app is activated. If the Building Edge has not yet been associated with a BuildingPro site, follow Connect a Building Edge to BuildingPro as a Site.
App configuration in BuildingPro Suites: Configure the Edge Identification Number and synchronized tree structure by following Configure OpenBOS.
After successful configuration, the automatic synchronization begins. The app monitors the status and ensures that your assets and alarms are always up to date.
