Use case example:
if there are multiple server/slave devices the RTA gateway is
monitoring and sending over to the Building Automation System (BAS) to monitor, you
can configure the group to represent each device. The image above displays 1 device, if
there are 5 total deices then you can call Group 1
“Basement, Group 2 “1
st
Floor”, Group
3 “Roof Top” etc.
3)
Enter a
Name
to identify this object on the network.
4)
The combination of
Group

Select the
Unit Category
corresponding to the units you want this object to be identified with
(optional). Then select the
Unit
from the dropdown menu.
6)
Set the
COV
(Change of Value) for this object.

If the BACnet/IP client issues a COV Subscription, the gateway will issue a COV Notification when
the Present Value changes by more than the given COV-Value. This value shift can be in a
positive or negative direction.
