The Network Inputs category appears in the Control tab (Figure 1). This section lists the network inputs defined for the system. Network inputs are typically used to read and write values to and from a supervisory device over the network. When a network input is not mapped to a supervisory device, it uses its default value. During Simulation and Commissioning modes, a network input may be commanded.
During Simulation and Commissioning modes, the Network Input category displays a second row of text. This row provides the Network Input present value.
An example use is that a supervisory device reads an Outdoor Air Temperature sensor from one device and writes its value to the network input of other devices.
Network inputs connect into other modules or the State Table.
See Network Input Modules for information on network input modules. Also, see Peer-to-Peer Communication in the Configuring a System section for information on peer-to-peer communication in the tool.
