Legal Value Description
The Reliability property, of type BACnetReliability, provides an indication of
whether the Present_Value or the operation of the physical input in question is
Reliability "reliable" as far as the BACnet Device or operator can determine and, if not, why.
The following values are supported:
NO_FAULT_DETECTED, UNRELIABLE_OTHER
This property relates to Output and Value Object Types and is a read only array
that contains prioritized commands or NULLs in the order of decreasing priority.
Priority_Array
The highest priority (lowest array index) with a non-NULL value is the active
command.
Relevant to Multistate Object Types: This property is a BACnetARRAY of
character strings representing descriptions of all possible states of the
State_Text Present_Value. The number of descriptions matches the number of states defined
in the Number_Of_States property. The Present_Value, interpreted as an integer,
serves as an index into the array.
Relevant to Multistate Object Types: this property sets the total number of states
for which descriptions will be returned as defined under the State_Text property.
Number_Of_States
The number of states will be determined automatically by the largest state number
used when configuring the Offset Table (refer to
Relevant to BACnet MS/TP Device Object Type: The Max_Master property, of
type Unsigned, shall be present if the device is a master node on an MS/TP
Max_Master network. The value of Max_Master specifies the highest possible address for
master nodes and shall be less than or equal to 127. If the Max_Master property is
not writeable via BACnet services, its value shall be 127.
Relevant to BACnet MS/TP Device Object Type: The Max_Info_Frames property,
of type Unsigned, shall be present if the device is a node on an MS/TP network.
Max_Info_Frames The value of Max_Info_Frames specifies the maximum number of information
frames the node may send before it must pass the token. If Max_Info_Frames is
not writable or otherwise user configurable, its value shall be 1.
Relevant to Binary Object Types: This property, of type CharacterString,
characterizes the intended effect of the ACTIVE state of the Present_Value
property from the human operator's viewpoint. The content of this string is a local
Active_Text
matter, but it is intended to represent a human-readable description of the ACTIVE
state. For example, if the physical input is a switch contact, then the Active_Text
property might be assigned a value such as "Fan 1 On".
This property, of type CharacterString, characterizes the intended effect of the
INACTIVE state of the Present_Value property from the human operator's
viewpoint. The content of this string is a local matter, but it is intended to represent
Inactive_Text
a human-readable description of the INACTIVE state. For example, if the physical
input is connected to a switch contact, then the Inactive_Text property might be
assigned a value such as "Fan 1 Off".
A character string giving more information about the Object associated with the
Description
Present_Value property.
Firmware_revision The firmware revision of the application.
This property is the default value to be used for the Present_Value property when
Relinquish_Default
all command priority values in the Priority_Array property have a NULL value.
