This object contains attributes common to many Metasys system objects. These common attributes are described in the Common Object Attributes section. This section includes attributes of the Focus/Configuration tab and the Diagnostics tab. See the Object and Feature Tabs section for information on the attributes that appear on the other tabs of this object (for example, the Hardware and Options tab appear on point objects).
|
Attribute Name |
Notes |
Initial Value |
Description |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Alarm State |
Offline |
Indicates that the object transitioned into alarm or unreliable conditions. This attribute appears only in the Snapshot Focus tab. |
|
|
Enabled |
C,W |
True |
If True, allows integration between the Metasys system and the IP field controller. |
|
Graphic Alias |
C,W |
Indicates a portion of the graphic’s item reference, up to and including the name of the folder containing this object or the controller containing this point. |
|
|
Poll Delay |
C,W |
120 |
Specifies the time in milliseconds between BACnet object polls for attribute values. The polls start at the time specified in the Periodic Update attribute. As the Poll Delay increases, the overall time in the Execution Time attribute increases. It is useful to specify a Poll Delay on sites where the rate of reading the remote objects causes too high a burden on the Metasys network or third-party device. Recommended setting: high sensitivity: 20 seconds; medium sensitivity: 60 seconds; low sensitivity: 120 seconds (default). |

|
Conf Req Rcv |
Contains the number of confirmed request messages received. | |
|
Conf Req Tx |
Contains the number of confirmed request messages sent. | |
|
Error Rcv |

|
|
Error Tx |
Contains the number of error messages sent. | |

|
Net Routed Messages |
Contains the number of messages routed through the network layer from one network (for example, IP) to another (for example, MS/TP). |
|
|
Net Routes Busy |
Contains the number of messages not sent because the network route is busy or not initialized. | |
|
Net Unknown Message Rcv |
Contains the number of unknown messages received at the network layer. | |
|
Net Unknown Routes |
Contains the number of messages not sent due to unknown route information. | |
|
Peak Pending Queue Count |
Indicates the largest number of client requests that were queued for transmission. | |
|
Peak Unknown Queue Count |
Indicates the largest number of client requests the unknown queue contained at one time. | |
|
Pending Queue Count |
Indicates the number of client requests currently queued for transmission. | |
|
Rcv Messages Discarded |
Indicates the number of messages received from the network that were not processed due to lack of resources or because there were too many requests for the Metasys Engine to process. |
|
|
Rcv Message Rate |
Indicates the number of messages received in the last minute. | |
|
Rcv Record Count |
Indicates the number of active state machines currently in use for receipt of requests from other BACnet devices (that is, the number of requests being processed at this moment). |
|
|
Record Count |
Indicates the number of active state machines holding information on pending messages. | |
|
Reject Rcv |
Contains the number of reject messages received. Rejects occur in response to a variety of communication problems much like aborts and errors. |
|
|
Reject Tx |
Contains the number of reject messages sent. | |
|

|
Reset Time |
Indicates the time of the last Clear Statistic command. | |
|
Seg Ack Rcv |
Contains the number of segmented complex acknowledgement messages received. | |
|
Seg Ack Tx |
Contains the number of segmented complex acknowledgement messages sent. | |
|
Seg Conf Req Rcv |
Contains the number of segmented confirmed request messages received. | |
|
Seg Conf Req Tx |
Contains the number of segmented confirmed request messages sent. | |

Transaction Timeouts |
Indicates the number of MS/TP Postpone messages sent due to a late reply to a received Confirmed Request message (that is, this device’s applications could not process the request before a low-level MS/TP answer was required). |
|
|
Transmits Per Minute |
Displays the calculated number of transmissions per minute. | |
|
Tx Messages Discarded |
Indicates the number of client requests aborted due to lack of resources. Usually, this situation occurs due to memory issues in the controller. |
