scheduler object.
There are many technical parameters which need to be set and which require some
knowledge of how these scheduler objects work internally. Therefore, the configuration
software provides the following mechanisms to help in choosing the right settings:
Resources required by the current project:
The absolute minimum settings required
by the current project are shown in a table at the left side of the window. This data may
be used to fill in the values at the right side, but some additional resources should be
planned to allow for configuration changes which need more resources.
Auto-Set:
This button may be used to let the configuration software decide on the best
settings to use, based on the current project. Since the current projects resource usage is
taken as a starting point, all schedulers and calendar patterns in the project should first
be configured before this button is used.
Set Defaults:
This button will choose standard values for all settings. In most cases,
these settings will provide more resources than necessary.
6.3.5 BACnet Settings
The BACnet configuration tab as shown in Figure 88 allows configuring properties of the
device‘s BACnet port. The options are:
Enable Unsolicited COV
: Put a check mark on this option to enable COV-U on the
BACnet port. When active, the device sends unsolicited COV broadcast on all BACnet
objects, when their value changes in accordance to the respective COV rules.
Use 255.255.255.255 for global broadcast
: This setting overrides the standard
behavior of BACnet to send broadcasts as global IP broadcasts. This can solve
scanning problems with some BACnet devices.
Enable periodic I-Am broadcast
: This setting enables the periodic transmission of I-
Am broadcasts. Specify the interval in seconds. If disabled, the device sends an I-Am
only when starting up. This is the default behavior of BACnet devices.
String encoding
: This setting defines, how strings in BACnet objects are encoded. By
default it is ASCII, which is compatible with most BACnet software. To support
characters of Western European languages, choose ISO-8859-1. To support Unicode
character sets (e.g., Japanese) select UCS-2.
