Quick Help
The
object name, value, and status are shown for the object number entered
at the top of the page. Click Prev/Next to scroll through the list.
Click Refresh to update the page, or Update to accept changes. The
object name and description may be changed here. When changed, be sure
to save the updated configuration by clicking Save on the Config File
page under System Setup. State
text may be added. Before adding text, set the maximum state value for
this object. Then add text strings corresponding to each of the number
of states allocated by entering the value, corresponding text, and
clicking Add/Change. When changed, be sure to save the updated
configuration by clicking Save on the Config File page under
System Setup. The
object may be set Out of Service by checking that box and clicking
Update. The present value may be changed by entering a value, checking
Force, and clicking Update. Multistate Value objects may
be both a source and destination for some other BACnet or
Modbus device. The source of data for the Value object will be
reading from a remote device when associated with a Read Map. The
destination of data for the Value object will be writing to a remote
device when associated with a Write Map. If a remote device is mapped,
the device links are displayed above. You may click on either link to
view the respective mapping. The
Value object may be simultaneously associated with both Read and Write
maps pointing to the same remote device object. When this Value object
receives new data (from any source), this data will be written to
the mapped remote device before any subsequent read from the same
device. Thus the Value data is not discarded by the read operation
before the new data can be written. Out
of Service means polling of the remote device will stop. While out of
service, the present value may be written by an external BACnet client
but it will not be written to any mapped remote device. Data may be
forced via this web page at any time, but will be overwritten by the
next read from a remote device unless the object is out of service. Reliability codes indicate errors as itemized on the tabular object list.
Status flags A,B,C,D indicate the following, 0 meaning not true, 1 meaning true: A = in alarm B = fault C = overridden D = out of service Device
link will indicate RTU, TCP, or BIP, followed by R for read or W for
write, and a number which is the map number in the table of read or
write maps for mapping to this BACnet object. The designation R means
read from a remote device, and W means write to a remote device. Check 'Deconfigure' and click Update to erase configuration for this object. |
