Bacnet Multi State Input Descriptor (ServerMSIDesc)
Figure 138. Bacnet Multi State Input Descriptor properties
You use the Bacnet Export Manager view of the Bacnet Export Table to add, edit, delete, and access exported components.
In addition to the common properties (Status and Fault Cause), this component has these properties.
| Property | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Event Detection Enable | true (default) or false |
Turns detection of an input event on (
true) and off (false) for analog, binary and multi-state descriptors.
|
| Bacnet Status Flags | read-only indicator and check boxes |
Configures four status flags for BACnet. These options are available to enable detection of specific status conditions.
|
| Point Ord | ord (defaults to null) |
Defines the ORD (address) for the point.
|
| 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.), |
| 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 |
| Reliability | read-only |
Provides information when an error interrupts communication with a device.
In this case, the BACnet export descriptor retains a status of ok. |
| Description | text |
Provides additional information, which could include the camera’s geographical location or other unique information.
NOTE: After creation (adding) BACnet file descriptors, note that each descriptor also has additional properties accessible in its
property sheet, along with those seen in the New and Edit windows.
|
| Notify Type | (optional) Alarm (default) or Event |
Indicates if the notification is from an alarm or an event. This property applies if the source component has an alarm extension.
|
| Device Type | (optional) text only for some object types (Analog Input, Analog Output, Binary Input, Binary Output, Multi-state Input, Multi-state Output) |
Defines the type of physical input or output. This might apply mostly to exported Ndio points where each point corresponds
to a physical device.
