Rules of event generation enable the generation of events in case of value of a property falls into 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 property value that will define the value range. The value must match the formatting rules for the data type of the BACNet property the rule is configured for, see Configuring the BACnet Property and the table below. 
  4. In the Event column: select the event to be generated.  
  5. In the Event text column: enter the message which will appear when the property value falls in the specified range.
  6. Click the Apply button to save the changes. 

It is possible to create up to 10 rules.

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