In addition to features included with the standard BACnet Client driver, the OWS option offers:
Event Information
For BACnet devices that support GetEventInformation service, outstanding device events that were not logged in Niagara may be requested. The event is then propagated to the Niagara alarm service. For devices that support GetAlarmSummary, the driver will display unacknowledged alarms, but not import alarms into the Niagara alarm service.
Enrollment Summary
Retrieves a summary of BACnet objects within a device that match a set of user definable criteria.
Configurable Threads for Polling
Device polling threads may be increased to more than 2 threads if increased performance is needed.
Configurable Threads for Proxy Point Writes
Multiple threads may now be configured for proxy points. Useful for networks that have a large number of proxy points configured to write on start.

7. Target Customers for OWS
