“Control” Menu Options
This is slightly different for Modbus and BACnet. In BACnet, you control things at
sixteen different priority levels, and you can “release” control from any particular level.
Let’s consider the simpler, Modbus case first. Control just “happens” when you select
a point and give it a new value. No priorities at all. The last control to a point “wins”,
and stays until some other control is given to that point.
