This component is a config object that represents a Bacnet Access Door object in its entirety.

To access these properties, expand Drivers > BacnetAwsNetwork > BacnetAwsDevice > Config and double-click Door.

In addition to the common properties (Status and Fault Cause), this component has these properties.

Property Value Description
Poll Frequency drop-down list (defaults to Normal) Selects among three rates (Fast, Normal and Slow) to determine how often to query the component for its value. The network’s Poll Service or Poll Scheduler defines these rates in hours, minutes and seconds. For example:

Fast may set polling frequency to every second.

Normal may set poll frequency to every five seconds.

Slow may set poll frequency to every 30 seconds.

This property applies to all proxy points.
Object Id drop-down list and number (from 0 to 4194302) Identifies each device and component by the type of entity (Object Id) combined with a unique Instance Number.

For devices (controllers, instruments, meters, etc.), Instance Number must be unique within the BACnet internetwork. For components (points, schedules, analog inputs, files, groups, multi state inputs, etc.), it must be unique within the device.

Object Name text in the format name.name.name.name (default includes the entire component path in the station using period (“/) delimiters between parent.child levels) Identifies a BACnet object. This name should be unique within this specific device.

For components, this name includes the entire component path under the station’s Config using period (.) delimiters between parent.child levels. This enforces (externally) the BACnet requirement for unique names for all objects in a device.

For a proxy point, this is the default name in the station.

You can shorten or edit Object Name, however, each Object Name must be unique among all server descriptors under the Export Table.

Object Type drop-down list of BACnet objects Reports the type of object.
Status Flag read-only indicator and check boxes Configures four status flags for BACnet. These options are available to enable detection of specific status conditions.
Event State read-only Reports the status of the event.
Reliability read-only Provides information when an error interrupts communication with a device.

No Fault Detected indicates that things are OK.

Unreliable Other indicates that the exported BACnet object appears in fault. This might happen, for example, if the source (exported) component is a proxy point under some other driver, and device communications are down or if the point has been disabled.

In this case, the BACnet export descriptor retains a status of ok.

Out of Service true (default) or false Affects the BACnet exposure and access of the source component only. In other words, if the source (exported) component is a proxy point, the equivalent Enabled property in its ProxyExt is not affected.

true writes the point’s current value to the Present Value property. Often, a remote BACnet client sets (or clears) this Out of Service state.

You can set this property to false if needed.

Priority Array array Sets up an array of object identifiers that identify priority values.This array is for Notification Class priorities.
