Config, EE (Bacnet Event Enrollment)
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.
Figure 102. EE properties
To access these properties, copy an EE component from the bacnet palette (Config folder) to the 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)
|
Selects among three rates (Fast, Normal and Slow) to determine how often to query the component for its value. The network’s
Poll Service or Poll Scheduler defines these rates in hours, minutes and seconds. For example:
This property applies to all proxy points. |
| 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 |
| Object Type | drop-down list of BACnet objects | Reports the type of object. |
