Associating microblocks with a zone

A control program can be designed to operate on zone occupancy data from the integration. Do this by associating

microblocks in the control program as targets to receive the zone occupancy data. The microblocks are updated 1

minute after startup and every 5 minutes following that. There are four different microblocks that can be

configured.

Microblock

Maps too...

And represents...

Occupancy Count

an AV microblock how many people are currently badged into a zone.

Full Occupancy Count

an AV microblock the number of people that would be considered 100%

occupied.

Occupancy Percent

an AV microblock the percentage of people in a zone based on the Occupancy

Count/Full Occupancy Count.

Comm status

an MSV microblock the communication status with the Building Integration

Platform.

MSV values must be configured in the microblock:

1=Comm Failed

2=Comm OK

3=Subscriptions Pending

This value is updated both periodically and on change of value.

Auto-mapping with predetermined reference names

Use these predefined reference names in the equipment file:

for this microblock type

Occupancy Count onguard_occ AV

Full Occupancy Count onguard_full_occ AV

Occupancy Percent onguard_pct_occ AV

Communication Status onguard_comm_stat MSV

1 On the

Occupancy tab, click the zone you wish to configure in the Zone list.

2 Click

Microblocks in the Occupancy panel.

3 When the

Equipment panel appears, navigate the Equipment tree and select the equipment with the

predefined reference names (see table above).

4 Drag the selected equipment from the tree to any slot in the

Microblocks section.

NOTES

• All the predefined reference names will be assigned to the associated points. Depending on the system size,

this operation may take a few seconds.

• To remove a microblock association, click the

Delete ( ) button to the right of the microblock name.
