PVT rules are updated with every release of Metasys. When you upgrade PVT to 4.1 or later, rules are updated to comply with Metasys Release 12.0 and PVT can highlight possible issues and suggest recommendations if the scan finds any non-compliance.
The following types of rules are supported for PVT 4.1 or later:
| Rule | Description |
|---|---|
| Patch | Identifies if any of the scanned engines are missing a critical patch. |
| Latest Firmware | Identifies if engines are running on latest available patch. |
| Object Count | Identifies if any engine is running beyond maximum capacity in terms of the specified object count limit. |
| Controller Count | Identifies if any engine is running beyond maximum capacity in terms of the specified controller count limit. |
| Obsolete engine | Identifies which engines are running an obsolete version of the operating system. |
| JCI Manager devices | Identifies Johnson Controls devices and third party devices. |
| Performance | Identifies performance issues. For example, duplicate BACnet IDs assigned to multiple devices, or Fan motors running at maximum speed. |
