Table 1 describes the Position Adjust Output object attributes. These attributes are displayed in alphabetical order. See Object Attributes in the Input and Output Objects section for descriptions of the data provided in this table. Unless otherwise stated, the attributes listed in this table appear in the Details dialog box (for example, the Present Value appears in the Control View below the module name in Simulation and Commissioning modes).
Name |
Type |
Mode |
Description |
---|---|---|---|
COV Increment |
Output |
Configuration Commissioning |
Indicates the minimum change in output that triggers a new COV message. |
Description |
Output |
All Modes |
Indicates the description provided for the object. |
Destination References |
Output |
Simulation Commissioning |
Indicates the array of attribute references for the destinations. All references must be from a single object. |
Device Type |
Output |
Configuration Commissioning |
Describes the physical network device to which the object is connected. |
Display Precision |
Output |
Configuration Commissioning |
Indicates the point at which value attributes are rounded for display (and how many numbers following the decimal point appear). Set Name: Display Precision |
Effective Stroke Time |
Output |
Configuration Commissioning |
Effective stroke time for the actuator to travel the full range on its installed state. This value should take into account the actual range of the device to which the actuator is attached. For example, an actuator with a stroke time of 120 seconds for 90 degrees of rotation would have an Effective Stroke Time of 60 seconds when installed on a damper that allows 45 degrees of travel. Accurate configuration of Effective Stroke Time is essential for VAV Box Controller box flow control applications and is used to estimate the position of the actuator. If you change the value of the Effective Stroke Time during execution, the new value is used immediately but the Output is likely inaccurate until the object synchronizes at an end stop. |
Min Change to Send |
Output |
All Modes |
Indicates the array of floating values (each value corresponding to a single Input) to specify the minimum change in the Input that is sent to the destination. This attribute is only applicable when the Input is of floating-point data type. The change is evaluated by comparing the current value of the Input to the value the last time a message was sent to the destination. |
Min Pulse Width |
Output |
Configuration Commissioning |
Minimum allowable pulse sent to the motor actuator. This value is specific to the actuator and is determined by the actuator manufacturer. This value should not be negative. |
Name |
Output |
All Modes |
Indicates the name of the object. |
Object Identifier |
Output |
All Modes |
Indicates the instance number of the Object Type as exposed to the network. The Object Identifier must be unique within the host device. The Object Identifier is created after defining hardware in the Hardware Definition Wizard accessible from the Define Hardware button or Operations menu option. The Object Identifier consists of the BACnet Class ID and the object’s Instance Number separated by a colon. For example, an Object Identifier of AV.10026 has a BACnet Class ID of AV and an Instance Number of 10026. |
Offline |
Output |
Commissioning |
Indicates if the object is currently communicating with the network device. This attribute is visible in an SAB device. |
Out of Service |
Output |
Commissioning |
Indicates whether the object is currently connected to the hardware or offline (out of service). This attribute is visible in an SAB device. |
Polarity |
Output |
Configuration Commissioning |
Reverses the direction of Slot A and Slot B. Set Name: Polarity |
Present Value (Appears as I1) |
Output |
Simulation Commissioning |
Indicates the desired position of the actuator (as a percent of possible rotation). A time-proportional command is issued to increase or decrease the actuator to satisfy the required position. Present Value is used to calculate the output. This attribute is the default attribute for the Analog Input object. Default Value: See Relinquish Default. Range: 0 - 100 This attribute is the Default Element. |
Priority |
Output |
All Modes |
Sends the output at the BACnet priority indicated by the value of the priority input. |
Reliability |
Output |
Simulation Commissioning |
Provides the following values to indicate whether or not the Present Value (Appears as I1) is reliable:
If an Out of Service command is received, this attribute is Reliable. Only when the object is out of service can you write values to this attribute. Set Name: Reliability This attribute is a calculated value (Output). |
Relinquish Default |
Output |
Configuration Commissioning |
Contains the default value for Present Value (Appears as I1) when all priorities are released. The Present Value is sent to the value in Relinquish Default only at startup or when the last priority value is released. Present Value does not update if you change Relinquish Default. If this value is set to 0% or 100%, the object starts resynchronizing on startup or reset. |
Restore Command Priority |
Output |
Configuration Commissioning |
Restores the commands you select in the case of a power failure. For more information about command priorities, see Command Priority Levels. The following list displays the command priorities you can select.
|
Resync Amount |
Output |
Configuration Commissioning |
Indicates the percentage of the Effective Stroke Time of overdrive allowed per resynchronization. This value should not be negative, but can be over 100. |
Resync Period |
Output |
Configuration Commissioning |
Indicate the length of time over which Resync Amount is the maximum resynchronize amount allowed. When the output approaches an end stop (the overdrive region), it applies overdrive to resynchronize the Output with the actual actuator position. Two options for overdrive are:
This value should not be negative. |
Status |
Output |
Simulation Commissioning |
Reflects the status of the object based on the Reliability attribute, the status of any commands, and the disabled condition of the object. Possible values for Binary Output objects are:
Set Name: Status This attribute is a Calculated Value (Output). |
Units |
Output |
Configuration Commissioning |
Specifies the units of measurement for Present Value (Appears as I1). For the PAO, the units can only be set to %. |
Use COV Min Send Time |
Output |
Configuration Commissioning |
Configures the object to send COV messages on a periodic basis instead of on every change of value that exceeds the COV Increment. This attribute is typically set to True for objects with values that fluctuate greatly, such as air pressure, to decrease the number of COV messages. The change of value still must exceed the COV Increment to be reported. The Min Send Time value is set at the supervisory controller on the Device object, and has a default of 15 seconds. |
Use Default if Not Reliable |
Output |
All Modes |
Specifies the behavior when the Input is not reliable. If True, the destination is sent the Input’s Default Value whenever the Input is not reliable and its Reliability is marked as Reliable. If False, the destination is not updated and keeps its last reliable value. |
