Edit Object Details

The following table defines the fields shown in the Advanced screen of a Modulating Input point.

Name Description
Object Name Displays the name of the modulating input point. The object name can be edited.
Field Name Displays the name of the backend object created for the input point . It is non-editable.
Object Type Displays the object type as Modulating Input. It is non-editable.
Object Instance A unique number that is automatically assigned to the object. This field is editable. If you try replacing the instance value with a value of your choice, the replacement is successful only if the value of your choice is not in use by any other object.
Sen Delta The delta value for Significant Event Notification is also known as SEN Delta. The 'presentValue' property of this object is refreshed/updated by the controller when the value changes by the configured SEN Delta. This can be used to tune the controller such that small changes of value are not propagated to the BACnet network . If this object is 'bound' to another controller, then the value is sent on the Bacnet Network to the target controller whenever it changes by an amount exceeding the SEN Delta. A SENDelta of zero means that any change of value is considered significant and is propagated to the network.
Update Interval The rate at which the controller compares the last value propagated to the network against the current value to determine whether significant change has occurred that warrants the new value to be propagated. Update Interval works with SEN Delta to throttle back the information propagated to the network. Recommended value is 1 second.
GPU Set the GPU (guaranteed periodic update) to either True or False.
  • True means that the presentValue of the Modulating Input has to be sent periodically (at the configured 'Send Heart beat' rate)  to the target controller that is bound, regardless of whether a significant change, as defined by SEN Delta, has occurred.
  • False means the Modulating Input is NOT to be sent periodically. The value will be sent to the target controller only based on Sen Delta value configured. 
Send Heart Beat The rate at which a Network object value is sent to the network regardless of whether its value has changed or not. The send heart beat must be configured to be equal to or greater than the 'update rate' expected by the target controller. This value should be configured as multiples of 5 seconds only, else tool rounds it off to the nearest multiple of 5 during download.

The following table defines the fields shown in the Advanced screen of a Modulating Output point.

Name Description
Object Name Displays the name of the modulating output point. The object name can be edited.
Field Name Displays the name of the backend object created for the output point. It is non-editable.
Object Type Displays the object type as Modulating Output. It is non-editable.
Object Instance A unique number that is automatically assigned to the object. This field is editable. If you try replacing the instance value with a value of your choice, the replacement is successful only if the value of your choice is not in use by any other object.
Relinquish Default A default value can be set for the Modulating Output when all the priority slots in the Priority Override function block are set to null.
Logic Command Priority Enables you to assign a priority to the output point. The point is mapped to the priority level in the Priority Override function block.
Sen Delta The delta value for Significant Event Notification is also known as SEN Delta. The 'presentValue' property of this object is refreshed/updated by the controller when the value changes by the configured SEN Delta. This can be used to tune the controller such that small changes of value are not propagated to the BACnet network . If this object is 'bound' to another controller, then the value is sent on the Bacnet Network to the target controller whenever it changes by an amount exceeding the SEN Delta. A SENDelta of zero means that any change of value is considered significant and is propagated to the network.
NOTE:  If the application logic is driving the output at multiple priority levels using the 'PriorityOverride' function block, then the configured SenDelta and UpdateInterval values would apply to all the priority levels. The presentValue property of the object is refreshed by the controller as per the configured SenDelta and UpdateInterval values and it is propagated to the network as per the SenDelta and GPU settings.
Update Interval The rate at which the controller compares the last value propagated to the network against the current value to determine whether significant change has occurred that warrants the new value to be propagated. Update Interval works with SEN Delta to throttle back the information propagated to the network. Recommended value is 1 second.
GPU Set the GPU (guaranteed periodic update) either True or False.
  • True means that the presentValue of the object has to be sent periodically (at the configured 'Send Heart beat' rate)  to the target controller that is bound, regardless of whether a significant change, as defined by SEN Delta, has occurred
  • False means the presentValue is NOT to be sent periodically. The value will be sent to the target controller only based on Sen Delta value configured. 
Send Heart Beat The rate at which a Network object value is sent to the network regardless of whether its value has changed or not. The send heart beat must be configured to be equal to or greater than the 'update rate' expected by the target controller. . This value should be configured as multiples of 5 seconds only, else tool rounds it off to the nearest multiple of 5 during download.
NOTE:  When the modulating output is the target in a 'binding', then the present value is refreshed and propagated to the network as per configured SenDelta and GPU settings.
Fail Detect Enabled Set the Fail Detect Enabled to either True or False.
  • True if the object is bound and if it has not received an update from the Bacnet network source in the fail detect time, then an alarm is generated and the presentValue is set to Invalid. Note that fail detect time depends on the update rate configured.
  • False means the object retains the last value that was written to it until a Bacnet network source changes it or the Honeywell Spyder has a power outage or resets.
     NOTE: If the modulating output is the target in a 'binding', then the configured FailDetect and UpdateRate settings will be applicable to any and all of the priorityArray elements that are bound.
Update Rate This is the rate at which the object expects an update from the BACnet network. When 'Fail Detect' is enabled , the controller will report an alarm if 5 consecutive updates are not received.   If binding is accomplished by polling the source device, then the poll rate is set to the configured 'Update rate'. If 5 successive polls fail, then the controller will report an alarm. (See the 'Poll/Push' column in the 'Bacnet Link Manager View')
