Setting Up BACnet Alarms
You can enable and configure receiving BACnet alarms in the channel settings. All devices grouped under that channel inherit the settings from the channel configuration. If needed, you can override these settings on individual devices. Learn how
To configure alarms for a channel:
- Open Workbench and in the Project Explorer pane, expand your project > Data Connectivity > BACnet > Channels.
- Double-click the desired channel to display the settings.
- On the General tab in the Alarms Settings section, select the Enable Alarms checkbox.
-
In AE Summary Type, select the service type for reading the initial state of alarms. We recommend selecting the Automatic option that uses the best available service supported by the device. If the device supports multiple services, the order of preference is GetEventInformation > GetAlarmSummary > GetEnrollmentSummary.
- To use the device timestamp instead of the server time for acknowledging alarms, select the Use timestamp from the ACK notification checkbox, and then click Apply.
