Config, EE (Bacnet Event Enrollment)

This component is a Config object that represents a BACnet Event Enrollment object.

The properties of this object describe an event that may be an error or alarm condition. They reference source object and property data, and specify notification class and device recipients. The component is located in the bacnet palette under the Config folder.

To access these properties, copy an EE component from the bacnet palette (Config folder) to the BacnetDevice > Config folder and double-click the component.

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)
References the On Demand Poll Scheduler rates under the NiagaraNetwork’s History Policies container slot.

Configures how often this type of poll occurs.

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.
