Rules of event generation enable the generation of events in case of value of a parameter falls in a given range.

To configure these rules, set the following parameters in the Events tab on the settings panel of the Bacnet Rule object:

  1. Check the Enable box to activate the rule.  
  2. In the Sign column: select the sign that will define the value range. The list of recognized signs differs for each supported value type, see the table below.
  3. In the Value column: enter the value. The value must match the formatting rules for the value type of the BACNet parameter the rule is configured for, see Configuring the parameters of BACnet channels and the table below. 
  4. In the Event text column: enter the message which will appear when the paremeter value falls in the specified range.

It is possible to create not more than 10 rules.

The parameter will be in several states (multistate) if value of the parameter matches several rules.

The signs available for different value types are listed in the table below:
