Enable Block Commands for a Network

When you enable a block command for a network, a corresponding block command macro is automatically created. The enabled block command is also automatically sent in place of the individual command from Event List.

  1. In System Browser, select Management View.
  1. Select Project > Field Networks > [network].
  1. In the BACnet tab, open the Block Commands Behavior expander.
  1. Select the check boxes for the block commands you want to create:
  • Block acknowledge
  • Block reset
  • Block silence/unsilence
  1. Click Save .
  • The macros for broadcasting the selected commands are added to System Browser under Applications > Logics > Macros > Block Command Macros: They are named as follows:
    - BLOCK_ACK_[network name]
    - BLOCK_RESET_[network name]
    - BLOCK_SILENCE_[network name]
    - BLOCK_UNSILENCE_[network name]
Macros: Block Commands

 

The block command macros replace the individual commands in Event List. For example, if you selected Block acknowledge, when you send an ACK command from Event List for this network, the BLOCK_ACK_[network name] macro is automatically invoked to broadcast that command to the entire fire network.
