Analog Network Input 2
 Network I/O microblock

|
The Analog Network Input 2 microblock reads a value from a specific address on the network. This value may be contained in an I/O point, a status or parameter microblock, a property from a BACnet object, or an equivalent value from another supported protocol.
The source for the value may be within the same control program, from another control program in the same control module, or from another control module on the network.
You can assign a name to the input that appears on the face of the microblock.

Notes

Communications
|
Communications Enabled allows you to enable network communications on this point. Select False when troubleshooting.
|
Simulation
|
Define the conditions that will be used during an EIKON for WebCTRL simulation.
|
RefName
|
Use the default reference name unless you want a more descriptive name for this microblock for graphics, source tree rules, or network links. All reference names in a control program must be unique.
|
(Display) Name
|
The microblock label used in the interface. You can use any characters (including spaces) in this field, except for the " character.
|
Address
|
The Address field can contain a BACnet object property reference. If this microblock is used in a Portal module, the Address field can contain a reference to a third-party point that utilizes a protocol other than BACnet. See the Portal documentation for more information. You can also enter the Address using a tree control on the Properties page in WebCTRL.
When the Address field contains a BACnet object property reference, the Analog Network Input microblock will attempt to subscribe to the COV Service of the referenced microblock property. If COV Subscription succeeds, the Refresh Time is ignored and the microblock will receive data whenever the referenced property value changes by at least the COV Increment set on the point it is subscribing to. If COV Subscription is not successful, the Refresh Time allows you to set a time interval in minutes and seconds between reads of the referenced property. If COV Subscription has failed and the Refresh Time is zero, the property will be read once per second.
|
Locked
|
When you select the Lock at value checkbox, WebCTRL will use the locked value instead of the actual value read by the control module.
|
Default Value
|
The Default Value determines the value that the microblock uses on the control program output wire when communication with the remote object is lost or Communications is disabled.
|
Editing Privilege
|
Preset (the default Editing Privilege) indicates that each property in a microblock has an appropriate privilege assigned to it.
If you change the Editing Privilege, all the properties in that microblock are assigned to that one editing privilege, which is not always desirable.

NOTE Alt+click any value in WebCTRL to view property details, including its expression and editing privilege.
