The table below lists the commands supported by the Binary Output Object.
Command Name |
Parameters |
Description |
---|---|---|
Disable Alarms |
None |
Disables all types of alarming: alarm extensions, BACnet intrinsic alarming, and BACnet Event Enrollment objects. |
Enable Alarms |
None |
Enables all types of alarming: alarm extensions, BACnet intrinsic alarming, and BACnet Event Enrollment objects. |
In Service |
None |
Cancels the affect of an Out of Service command and returns the Out of Service attribute to False. The Present Value and Reliability will revert back to the values obtained from the physical hardware output. Note: For BACnet objects, support of this command
is dependent on the ability to write the Out Of
Service attribute.
|
Operator Override |
The value to be written to the Present Value. |
Updates the Present Value at Command Priority equal to Operator Override (8). The Operator Override command sends the specified command to the internal NxE object, which is then only sent to the field device when one of the following conditions is met:
|
Out of Service |
None |
Allows a user to override the object’s hardware output for simulation or other purposes. The Out of Service command changes the Out of Service attribute to True. The Present Value and Reliability no longer track the physical output. No commands are sent to the actual hardware. When the Out of Service attribute is set to False, the current Present Value is sent to the actual hardware. When an Out Of Service command is issued, the NxE does not communicate subsequent changes (operator or system) to the field device. For BACnet objects, support of this command is dependent on the ability to write the Out Of Service attribute. |
Release Operator Override |
None |
Releases Command Priority Operator Override (8) from Present Value. |
Release |
|
Releases the identified command priority from the specified, writable attribute, and allows it to be controlled by the next highest priority. |
Release All |
Attribute name |
Releases Command Priorities 3 through 16 (Default) from the specified, writable attribute. Command Priorities 1 and 2 remain. Important:
The Release All command may not cause an immediate return to automatic operation. The Release All command clears all command priorities, including those that come from applications and features. When this happens, the output point goes to its Relinquish Default condition. In some cases, the application or feature may have sent a command that does not match Relinquish Default. In this instance, the output point does not end in the state that the applications or features intended. This situation can cause unexpected operation to occur; for example, a space might overcool or overheat, a fan might run longer than expected, and so on. If an operator has overridden an input, use the Release Operator Override command. |
State0 ... State1 |
None |
Releases Command Priorities 9 through 15 (Scheduling) and then writes to the Present Value at the Default (16) command priority. If this is the highest, it is sent to the controller. The state command names and number of commands are dependent on the States Text attribute. Important: Be aware that an operator
state command releases the actions of any
processes running to the object in the NxE or FEC
controllers that use Priorities 9 through 16.
Consider this behavior when creating control
strategies.
If Local Control is True, this command is rejected. |
Temporary Override |
The value to be written to the Present Value attribute, in addition to the duration of the override in hours and minutes. |
Overrides a point temporarily for a specified period of time. After the specified time period passes, the Override is automatically released. |
