  • Name

    Name of the Nrio proxy point (equivalent to right-click Rename, can be edited anytime). The default name appears as AbbrevIoTypeTerminalNumber, for example, ui4, ao2, and so on.

    Typically, you edit name from the default name to reflect the actual purpose of the I/O point, such as “Room101T,” “AHU1_FanStatus,” and so forth.

  • Type

    The type of Nrio proxy point to create.

  • Instance

    Corresponds to the I/O terminal address within that I/O type. Recommended to be left at default.

     
    NOTE: If an edit attempt is made to an instance already in use by another proxy point, the edit is discarded, and the previous instance value is retained.
     
  • Conversion

    The conversion type used between units in the proxy extension’s “Device Facets” and the units in the parent point’s Facets.

  • Facets

    Facets for the Nrio proxy point. Equivalent to accessing facets through the point’s property sheet (and can be edited anytime).
