ObixExport is a child of an ObixExportFolder, and is an oBIX server concept that allows remote clients to have “link” write access to control points. While many NiagaraAX
points have some actions that allow oBIX clients to write a value to them (each action appears as an “op”), an ObixExport
defines a link to an input property of a specific NiagaraAX point, at a particular control level.
The following properties have special importance to an ObixExport:
-
Point
The ord to a control point. Set this value and the export will be automatically configured.
-
Priority
The priority level for linking to the control point. When changed, the export object will be automatically reconfigured.
-
Facets
These should always be a copy of the facets of the target control point. This is automatically configured.
-
Status
This is for use in the ObixExportManager view. It will only ever be fault or ok, and does not affect the value read by oBIX clients. It will be fault if point doesn’t point to a control point, or something is already linked into the control point at the priority level specified in the Priority property.
-
Fault Reason
If status is fault, this explains why.
-
WritePoint
This is for oBIX encoding, and should not be modified in any way.
See Reserving writable inputs for oBIX client access for more details.
