Configuring the AlarmService for BACnet alarms
Two procedures are required to configure BACnet alarms. First, you configure the AlarmService of each station to process BACnet alarms. Next, you configure and export the BACnet objects that are capable of generating
alarms. This procedure configures the AlarmService.
Prerequisites: You have not exported the objects yet. The bacnet palette is open. The AlarmService wire sheet is open.
- Under the station’s AlarmService wire sheet, add the AlarmClass components to use with alarmable control points exported to BACnet.
- Set ack requirements and priorities as needed, but do not export yet.
- Drag a BacnetDestination recipient from the bacnet palette (
Alarmingfolder) to the wire sheet.The Name window opens.
- Name the destination component and click OK
- Double-click the BacnetDestination component and set the
Recipientproperty to the BACnet device ID for the BACnet client that will receive alarms. - Create a separate BacnetDestination for each BACnet client to receive alarms.
- Link the AlarmClasses to the BacnetDestination recipients (and other recipients as needed).
The AlarmService is prepared to process BACnet alarms.
