Copying BACnet Alarms to Other Objects

You can copy all the event enrollment objects and the intrinsic alarm properties associated with a BACnet object to one or more BACnet objects. This process creates new event enrollment objects for each target object, based on the properties of the copied objects (any existing event enrollment objects remain). It also overwrites the intrinsic alarm properties of the target object with the intrinsic alarm properties of the selected object.

Since this process works in the background, you can start a copy procedure and then continue to work with other management station features.

  1. In the System Browser, select the BACnet source object whose alarms you wish to copy, then check the Manual Navigation box.
  1. Click Copy All to display the Copy All list box in the Alarming section.
  1. Select the target BACnet objects you wish to copy the alarms to, then drag them to the Copy All list on the Targets tab.
  1. Use the buttons of the Copy Alarms section to edit this list and to start or cancel the copy procedure.
  1. Click the Activity Log tab to view the results of the latest copy procedure.
  • New event enrollment objects with the properties of the copied objects are created for each object selected in Step 3. The intrinsic alarm properties of the target objects are overwritten with the alarm properties of the selected object.

NOTE:
If the notification class object specified in the source object does not exist in the target object, then a new notification class object is created.
