Rules of event generation allow you to create events if a value of a property falls into a given range.

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

  1. Set the Enable checkbox to activate the rule.
  2. From the drop-down list in the Sign column, select the sign that determines the range. The list of recognized signs differs for each supported data type, see the table below.
  3. In the Value column, enter the property value that limits the range. The value must match the formatting rules for the data type of the BACNet property, for which the rule is configured, see Configuring the BACnet Property and the table below. 
  4. From the drop-down list in the Event column, select an event that will be generated.
  5. In the Event text column, enter the message that will be displayed when the property value falls in the specified range.
  6. Click the Apply button to save the changes. 

You can specify up to 10 rules.
