Creating BACnet data points - Industrial Protocol Interface 3.0

Before you can map Security Center events to BACnet data points, you must first create the data points.

1. In the Read-only data points section, click Add data point ().
   
   The Create readable data point window opens.

   
2. In the Name field, enter a description for the data point.
3. From the Type list, select one of the following types:
   • Boolean for instances where there are only two possible states.
   • String if you want to enter values based on strings.
4. Enter an initial value for the data point:
   • If you selected Boolean as the type, select True or False as the initial value.
   • If you selected String as the type, enter a value in the text field.
5. Click Add.
6. Click Apply ( ).
   The object is mapped to the data point and is listed in the Protocols list.

   

   NOTE: Each object has a unique, automatically-generated instance number, which is saved in the database.
