Name / Command

Description

1

1. Command configuration

2

Command

Command type for selected property (for example, BACnetAnalogWithPriority).

3

Parameter

Displays the parameters dependent on the selected command.

4

Label

Descriptive text for the button. The text is localizable, for example, en-US Manual, de-DE Manuell.

5

Label

Descriptive text for operating value or priority. The text is localizable, for example, en-US Value, de-DE Wert.

6

Name

This text is used for the button that can be executed by scripting. Text is not localizable. The function in the Name column must be unique (for example, WritePrio08, ReleasePrio08).

7

Default Value

Defines the displayed value by the Value text field used:

• ReferCmdDef (takes the defined value for the selected command function of Command)
• Provided (takes the value form Value (callout 9) and the value cannot be modified)
• Runtime (takes the value from the system and must be modified at runtime)
• DefaultProvided (takes the value from Value (callout 9) and the value can be modified at runtime)

8

Alias

Option to execute multiple commands (for example, alarm acknowledgement) (Alias = Ack).

• The related command is executed by a macro.
• A related scope must be defined to ensure only some data points in the project receive the command.

Additional alias texts can be created in the Command Macro text group under Global (HQ) > Base > Texts.

9

Value

Displays the value written during commanding. The value is relevant only if in Default Value (callout 7) the option Provided or DefaultProvided is selected.

10

Group

Defines the Command Groups in the Scope Rights of the security definition (Standard, Event, Advanced, Ownership) used to execute the command.

11

Control

Determines the software control (slider, drop-down list, text field) displayed for operation.

12

Control

Expander: No direct command is executed. Clicking Command opens an entry field for the corresponding values for Value and Priority. The values are sent only with Send.

Default: The command is sent directly to the automation station when In Service or Out of Svc is used.

13

Affected Property

Defines the property used to influence the Command functionality.

14

Filter Property

The defined property will be read at runtime. The assigned enumeration displays the valid text depending on this property.

Example enumeration used:

0 = Close, 1 = Open, 2 = Purge, 3 = Disable, 4 = Enable

Example property read at runtime:

3 = Disable, 4 = Enable

The operating dialog offers the Disable and Enable options only.

15

Combined

If one button is used to execute two or multiple commands, the commands can be linked by selecting the related check box. There are two options: either both commands are executed simultaneously or a command can be selected from a drop-down list box.

Not combined

Combined operation

16

Display

Defines where the function is used:

• Software (for example, driver scripting, OPC)
• GenericDisplay (User interface, for example, Status and Command window)
• GenericDisplayAndSoftware (User interface and drivers)

17

Target Property

Defines which property is affected from this functionality, for example, Present_Value.
