Building automation technicians and commissioning engineers who manage Siemens devices benefit from ABT Go on a full computer, where multiple network diagnostics, parameter adjustments, and device overrides can unfold across a real keyboard and persistent workspace. ABT Go handles commissioning and maintenance tasks for Siemens room automation stations, letting you access devices over BACnet/IP, review diagnostic data in list or graphic form, and command data points without switching between handheld screens and desktop tools.
Running ABT Go on PC offers a stable, always-available workspace for the repetitive and detail-heavy tasks that define commissioning cycles. It runs the app open alongside your documentation, email, and notes: all without the friction of a mobile screen or the need to step away from your desk.
Device Discovery and Network Overview
ABT Go connects to your BACnet/IP network and surfaces every Siemens device in range, displaying name, type, IP address, location, and equipment ID in a single list. This fast overview eliminates the manual legwork of hunting down devices across multiple panels or interfaces. When working on PC, you can scan the full roster, cross-reference it with your commissioning checklist, and jump into diagnostics without losing your place.
Diagnostics and Commissioning State Tracking
The app presents diagnostic data in two views: a consolidated list covering all devices, or a detailed graphic focused on one unit. You can track commissioning states (marking tasks as not checked, failed, or passed) and keep a running record without paper notes. Parameter checking and modification also happen within the same window, so you stay organized through each checkpoint and avoid the fragmentation that comes from toggling between tools.
Data Point Control and Override Management
ABT Go lets you command data points manually, acknowledge alarms, and view which parameters have been overridden or triggered an alert. Replacing the local user interface on a device, ABT Go for Windows PC simplifies the workflow for engineers who need to test setpoints, adjust assignments for KNX PL-Link devices, and confirm that field controllers respond correctly before sign-off. The graphical representation of diagnostics also helps you spot patterns or anomalies faster than scrolling through raw text.
Authentication and Network Requirements
Access to Siemens devices is secured through authentication, so your network stays protected during your session. ABT Go connects over WLAN to a BACnet/IP network where your DXR2.E or PXC3.E stations are already configured with applications loaded and DALI device assignments complete. Running the application on PC which lets you establish and maintain that connection from a single, controlled point without worry about mobile session drops or app backgrounding interruptions.

FAQ
What devices does ABT Go support?
ABT Go works with Siemens Desigo room automation stations, specifically DXR2.E and PXC3.E models on Ethernet using BACnet/IP communication. Your devices must already have their applications loaded and network setup completed before you connect through the app.
Can I use ABT Go on a computer?
Yes. Installing ABT Go on PC lets you access the same commissioning and diagnostic features as the mobile version, with the added benefit of a persistent workspace where it runs the app open alongside your other work tools.
What network setup do I need?
You'll need WLAN access to a BACnet/IP network that contains your Siemens devices. All devices should be on the same IP subnet, and no proxy is required. Network communication must be established before you launch ABT Go.
Can I adjust data point parameters on PC?
Yes. You can check and change data point parameters and properties (including I/O and bus settings) directly within the app. Some users have noted that slider ranges may display differently than in other interfaces, so verify parameter limits match your device configuration.
Does ABT Go replace the device's local interface?
ABT Go serves as a replacement for the local user interface during commissioning tasks, letting you perform setup and testing from your computer instead of accessing controls directly on the device.
