BACnet Device Display Object


Display microblock

The BACnet Device Display Object microblock defines a standardized object whose properties represent the externally visible characteristics of a BACnet device and makes these characteristics available to the WebCTRL operator.

The link to this device is established in SiteBuilder, and the Object Instance setting in the display input allows the user to link to a specific object within that device.

The input is most often used to display information from other vendor's equipment on WebCTRL Graphics and Properties pages, creating a display of that equipment. The operator can then read and write to the equipment as appropriate.

The BACnet Device Display Object microblock can be used to import multiple properties from a single object, however, to prevent unnecessary network traffic you should only import properties which are actually needed for the intended task. Use the buttons in the Present column to select which properties to get.

Properties

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