Custom Objects Restrictions/Recommendations; Programs During Upgrades And Factory Restores - KMC Controls FlexStat Application Manual

Custom Objects Restrictions/Recommendations

The following objects have predefined functions in the firmware and
Control Basic. Do not attempt to reuse them for other purposes.
• Analog Values (AV) 1–78 (KMC recommends reserving 1–80)
• Binary Values (BV) 1–40 (KMC recommends reserving 1–50)
• Multi State Values (MSV) 1–15 (KMC recommends reserving 1–20)
• PID Loops (LOOP) 1–6
• Control Basic Programs (PRG) 1–5
• Trend Logs (TL) 1–3
• Event Enrollments (EE) 1–5
• Notification Class (NC) 1
As a best practice when custom programming with new objects, start
with the highest numbered available object (e.g., AV100) and work
down (AV99, AV98, AV97, etc.) as you use them.
NOTE: This object list may be expanded in future releases of firmware.
NOTE: To see a list of objects and their usage in various applications,
download and install the KMC Standard Applications
package from the KMC web site and look at the relevant
BAC-1xxxx Point Definitions file.
NOTE: See also Viewing the Control Basic Programs on page 8.
NOTE: Customized programs are the responsibility of the user. KMC
Controls does not provide support for such programs.

Programs During Upgrades and Factory Restores

NOTE: If custom Control Basic programs are installed and a restore
to factory settings is performed, all factory programs are
restarted but all custom Control Basic programs are halted.
Change the state of each program by loading/running the
program from the CB Programs menu (or BACstage).
NOTE: If custom Control Basic programs are installed and set to
autorun, whenever the firmware is updated, ALL (factory and
custom) programs are halted.
If custom Control Basic programs are installed but NOT set to
autorun, whenever the firmware is updated, factory programs
are restarted but any (manual) running custom programs are
halted at restart.
Change the state of each custom program by using the Update
Manager or loading/running each program from the CB
Programs menu (or BACstage).
