I/O Data and BACnet Objects

Data may generally be viewed relative to its source in addition to a global system wide view. Data from I/O points may be viewed under the I/O Data tab.

The global view of BACnet Object data is found under the Data Objects tab. This shows data from I/O points, and includes data retrieved from remote devices via the BACnet IP client or other gateway features. It also includes data generated by user programs, or written into the register by a remote client (e.g. BACnet IP client).

The object pages provide the ability to locally set an object out of service (this can also be done via the BACnet IP network). Data values may be forced, although any forced value is potentially overwritten by the next client or I/O update. Reliability and status are indicated for each object, and these are also accessible as standard BACnet object properties via the network.
