Exporting BACnet objects that generate alarms
Two procedures are required to configure BACnet alarms. First, you configure the AlarmService of each remote host station to process BACnet alarms. Next, you configure and export the BACnet objects that are capable
of generating alarms. This procedure configures and exports the BACnet objects that generate alarms.
Prerequisites: The AlarmService has been configured to process BACnet alarms.
- Expand and double-click Export Table.The Bacnet Export Manager opens.
- Discover the objects capable of generating alarms.
- Export all AlarmClass components that are linked to BacnetDestination recipients.
These export as only one object type: Notification Class.
NOTE: For the discover job to find them quickly, chooseOf Type:forAlarm Class.A BACnet Notification Class object instance number automatically starts at 0 for the first exported alarm class, then increments by one for each alarm class.
- Add the appropriate alarm extension to control points that alarm to BACnet, populating the
Alarm Classfor each with an AlarmClass component. - Do one of the following:
- Select and drag discovered objects from the Local Objects pane to the Exported Objects pane.
- To identify a single object to export, click New.
- To export one or more object, select the object(s) and click Add.
The New or Add object export window opens.
The station is now configured to generate BACnet alarms for the exported control points.
