Specifying Alarming for a BACnet Object
Two methods of alarming are available for BACnet objects: intrinsic and event enrollment (algorithmic change reporting).
NOTE:
You can also copy the intrinsic alarm properties and event enrollment objects from a BACnet object to one or more target objects. See Copying BACnet Alarms to Other Objects for more information.
- To specify alarming for a BACnet object, at least one notification class object must already exist in the system.
- In the System Browser, select the BACnet object for which you wish to specify alarming, and edit the appropriate sections in the Alarming section of the BACnet Object Editor.
- If the object supports intrinsic alarming, then Alarm Level 1 (Intrinsic Alarming) is listed in the Alarming list. Select this item and edit any fields in the Definitions and Advanced sections as appropriate.
NOTE: You cannot delete the intrinsic alarm from a BACnet object. The Delete button only deletes event enrollment objects.
- Click the New button in the Alarming section to create an event enrollment object.
- In the Alarming list, select the event enrollment object and edit any fields in the Definitions and Advanced sections as appropriate.
- Click Send to save any changes.
