BacnetAwsDevice

This component is a Framework representation of a remote BACnet device. Each BacnetAwsDevice resides under the station’s BacnetAwsNetwork. Each BacnetAwsDevice contains a full complement of device extensions (containers), including Points, Schedules, and Trend Logs (histories), for modeling data (from that device) in the station.

To access these properties, expand Drivers and the BacnetAwsNetwork, then double-click the BACnet device.

In addition to the common properties (Status, Enabled, Health and Fault Cause), this component has these properties.

Property Value Description
Alarm Source info additional properties
Contains a set of properties for configuring and routing alarms when this component is the alarm source.

For property descriptions, refer to the Niagara Alarms Guide

Address IP address
Serves as a collective property name for Network Number, MAC Address, and MAC address style.
Points container
Defines the ORD (address) for the point.
Virtual Virtual component Provides access to the virtual components in the station’s virtual component space, which is specific to the device. This is in addition to the standard collection of slots for device-level components.
Alarms additional properties Specifies how alarms from that device are mapped into the station’s own alarm subsystem, plus provide status properties related to alarm sharing.

Provides access to three alarm-related properties: Alarm Class, Last Received Time, and Niagara Process Id, which are documented in a separate topic.

Schedules container Opens the Bacnet Schedule Import Manager of this schedule extention. The Property Sheet provides access to the Retry Trigger component, Subscribe Window, and Skip Write On Error properties, which are documented in a separate topic.
Trend Logs Device extension Opens the Bacnet History Manager. You use this manager to import BACnet trend log objects from the device to the station as histories.

The property sheet accesses to the Retry Trigger properties, which is documented in the Niagara Drivers Guide.

Config additional properties Serves as a container for device configuration properties, which are documented in a separate topic.
Enumeration List additional properties
Lists the BACnet properties that can be exported to configure data exchange. This Extensible Enum List provides access to each property's configuration facets.
Use Cov true or false If the device was discovered, and station database determined that the device indicates support for server-side COV, this property defaults to true. Otherwise, it defaults to false indicating that no proxy points under the device use COV. Enables and disables a device’s support for COV (change of value) as a way to monitor proxy point values.

Assuming the device supports subscription to the COV service, true triggers the driver to attempt the necessary updates (proxy subscriptions) to the value of each point using the BACnet COV subscription to the device. If the subscription attempt succeeds, the Read Status property of the point’s BacnetProxyExt displays COV. If the subscription attempt fails, the driver uses normal polling and the Read Status property shows Polled.

When true, individual proxy points under the device may use COV subscriptions, depending on their assigned tuning policy.

When false, the driver ignores any proxy subscription updates.

Use Cov Property true or false Enables true and disables false use of the Use Cov property.
Max Cov Subscriptions text (defaults to max) Specifies the maximum number of COV (change of value) subscriptions that the database attempts to use with this device. This restriction prevents the station from consuming all of the available subscription space in the device. Applies only if Use Cov is true.
Cov Subscription read-only Reports number of active COV client subscriptions to the device.
Character Set drop-down list (defaults to Ansi C3_4)
Defines the character set supported, with other selections: IBM/Microsoft DBCS, JIS C 6226, ISO 10646 (UCS-4), ISO 10646 (UCS-2), ISO 8859-1, and Unknown.
