Bacnet Destination (bacnet-BacnetDestination)

This component represents a BACnet device that receives alarms from the Framework as a type of alarm recipient. It resides with the standard alarm recipients and alarm classes under the station’s AlarmService.

One way to access these properties is to expand Station > Config > Services > AlarmService and double-click the BacnetDestination component. If your AlarmService does not have this component, open the bacnet palette and drag it from the Alarming folder to the AlarmService in the station.

Stations operating (and licensed) as a BACnet server use this alarm class recipient to route alarms. When linked as a recipient to an AlarmClass that is exported to BACnet (as a Notification Class object), each BacnetDestination specifies an entry under the Recipient_List for that Notification Class.
