Description

BACnet Instance

The number used by a BACnet master for polling data from the Protocol
Converter.

Possible values include Analog Instance (AI) or Binary Instance (BI).

BACnet Engineering Units

In the BACnet ASHRAE standard, numbers correlate with units of measure.
Refer to the BACnet ASHRAE standard for more information.

BACnet COV Client
(COV - Change of Value)

The IP address of the BACnet master that is polling the
RIM Protocol Converter.

BACnet COV SPID

Enter the Subscriber Process Identifier. You’ll also need to designate if it
should be Confirmed or Unconfirmed.

Confirmed: When a change of value is sent to the device, it will look for
an acknowledgement of the change to be sent in response. If no
acknowledgement is received, the change will be sent again. This cycle will
repeat until an acknowledgement is received.

Unconfirmed: A change of value is sent, and the device doesn’t look for an
acknowledgement.

Select the Confirmed or Unconfirmed radio button to
indicate your preference.

BACnet COV Increment

Amount that the present value of a point needs to change before the change of
value message is initiated to the BACnet master.

BACnet COV Period

Interval, in seconds, between polling operations.

SNMP register/Table OIDs

The OID (object identifier) being polled from the SNMP software. The Protocol
Converter displays the OIDs used for Integer data, Float data, and the Label
assigned.

SNMP Modbus Device
Register/Table OIDs

Formatted to
BASE.DEVICENUMBER.REGISTERNUMBER where
BASE is the OID for this table, DEVICENUMBER is the
device’s number in the Protocol Converter (1-32) and the
REGISTERNUMBER reflects the appropriate device point
address.
