BACnet Property

Short Name

BACnet Description

Notes

present-value

PrVal

Present value

A standard BACnet enumerated property, Peripheral-Device-State-Type, that indicates the state of the fieldbus device.

The present-value property is writable only when the object is out-of-service.

status-flags

StaFlg

State flag

A read-only standard BACnet bitstring property composed of four Boolean flags that indicate the general "health" of the object.
The four flags are: IN_ALARM, FAULT, OVERRIDDEN, OUT_OF_SERVICE.

In BA_PeripheralDevice objects representing P1 devices, FAULT, OVERRIDDEN and OUT_OF_SERVICE flags are always false.

reliability

Rlb

Reliability

Provides an indication of whether the Present_Value property or the operation of the physical input in question is "reliable" as far as the BACnet Device or operator can determine and, if not, why.
In PeripheralDevice objects representing P1 devices, the reliability property always equals no-fault-detected.

out-of-service

OoServ

Out of service

A writable standard BACnet property, BOOLEAN, used to temporarily decouple the present-value and reliability properties from the fieldbus subsystem.

number-of-states

NumSta

Number of states

A read-only standard BACnet property that indicates the number of states in the present-value enumeration.

state-text

StaTxt

State text

A read-only standard BACnet property that indicates a value string in the Peripheral-Device-State-Type enumeration.

  • Operational-Field device assigned and running.
  • Device Halted-Effective physical device halted.
  • Device not assigned-Engineered device not assigned to effective physical device.
  • Device missing-Engineered device assigned to effective physical device, effective physical device not accessible.
  • Configuring device-Configuring of effective physical device.
  • Device not assignable-Incompatibility between engineered and effective physical device.
  • Missing or wrong configuration-Configuring of effective physical device not possible.

event-state

EvtSta

Event state

A read-only standard BACnet enumerated property, BACnetEventState, that represents the event/alarm state of the object.

Parent-VNO

ParVno

Parent structured view object

A read-only proprietary property, BACnetDeviceObjectReference, that references the parent view node object of the BA_PeripheralDevice object.

Tracking_Value

TckVal

Tracking value

A proprietary read-only enumerated property, Peripheral-Device-State-Type, that indicates the current state of the fieldbus device as determined by the fieldbus subsystem.

Unlike present-value, Tracking_Value is not decoupled from the fieldbus subsystem when out-of-service is true and will continue to indicate the state of the fieldbus device.

IOAddress

IOAddress

I/O address

A read-only proprietary property that provides fieldbus device addressing information.

Update_Count

UpdCnt

Update count

A BACnet object Property that represents the number of times that the Present_Value property has been updated since the last restart.

Peripheral_Device_Type

PrphlDev

Device type

A read-only proprietary property, CharacterString, that indicates the type of fieldbus device represented by this BA_PeripheralDevice object instance.

Peripheral-Device-Info

PrphlInfo

Device info

A proprietary read-only property, CharacterString, that provides descriptive information related to the fieldbus device. Relevant information may include device family, application family, application number, firmware version, and other information.

In BA_PeripheralDevice objects representing P1 TEC devices, _Device_Info is set to "P1 TEC " + version + "-" + app-num.
For example, "P1 TEC VV11-2020".

In BA_PeripheralDevice objects representing P1 PXM devices, Peripheral_Device_Info is set to "MECIO PXM MX22-2202".

Serial_Number

SerialNr

Serial number

A proprietary read-only property, CharacterString, that holds the serial number of the fieldbus device, if one is available.

In BA_PeripheralDevice objects representing P1 devices, Serial_Number is reserved for future use and will not be populated.

IO-Extension

SubsysExtn

Subsystem

A proprietary read-only enumerated property that indicates the IO extension selected for this object.

Enumerations: None, PDO-ONBOARDIO-PRPHDEV-TYPE, PDO-P1-PXM-PRPHDEV-TYPE, PDO-P1-TEC-PRPHDEV-TYPE, PDO_TX-IO

Alarm-Extension

AlarmExtn

Event configuration

A writable proprietary enumerated property that specifies whether the optional intrinsic alarming extension is enabled for the object.

Enumeration: None, Intrinsic-Reporting

Display-Value

DspyVal

Display value

A read-only proprietary property, CharacterString, that provides a preformatted version of present-value for use in reports.

Commissioning_State

ComgSta

Commissioning state

A writable proprietary enumerated property, Commissioning-State, that indicates whether the object and its associated IO have been checked out during the commissioning process.

Valid values: not-checked, check-failed, check-ok

Commissioning_Info

ComgInfo

Commissioning information

A writable proprietary property that provides additional textual (60 character limit) commissioning information about the BA_Object.
