Configuring virtual points in Px views
BACnet virtual points can show real-time values in Px views.This includes an available right-click set action, as well as
the poll status (ok, stale, down) of the polled property. A BacnetVirtualGateway cannot have its own Px view, but you can use its child virtual components in Px views for other components, for example on
the BACnet device itself, or its points extension, and so on.
- Drag a BACnet virtual component (BacnetVirtualProperty) to the Px page, and make your selection in the popup Px
Make Widgetwindow.The system automatically resolves the Ord.
Often you may wish to include the presentValue property, as shown here.
- In the Make Widget window, select either a Bound label (as shown) or
- If you are using a bound label, edit the accompanying display name label (if that option was selected) to another text string.
The screen captures shows binding to a BacnetVirtualProperty in a Px view.
- Every BacnetVirtualProperty provides an action to write (set is default name), which may be useful in some scenarios.
The screen capture shows the default set action and resulting popup for write to a present_value property.
By default, in the case of a write to the presentValue property of a BACnet object with a priority_array (such as an Analog Output or Binary Output), the write action is issued at priority level 16. You can specify another priority level by editing the ord used in the Px binding (to the Bacnet virtual component).
