2 Unison Paradigm BACnet Interface Object Reference Guide
1 - Object Types
The Paradigm Central Control Server (P-CCS) BACnet interface provides twelve (12)
object types; four (4) of them are standard BACnet object types and eight (8) of are ETC
proprietary object types.
This document section provides user detailed information for the construction of each of
these client readable object types.
1.1 Analog Input Object Type
Analog Input: BACnet Properties List
Is the Object Type Proprietary?
No, Compliant with Clause 12.2 of ASHRAE Standard BACnet 135-2004 document.
Does the Object Type contain any Proprietary Properties?
Yes, the “Analog_Input_BCID” property.
General Description of the Object Type
Analog Input objects are only created by the Paradigm Central Control Server (P-CCS)
based on the LightDesigner configuration and may be used to provide general user-defined
analog feedback for objects within a Paradigm system
Each object instance for the specified "Object_Type" has an "Object_Identifier" that is
unique for the type and "Object_Name".
The BACnet object instance is managed by the P-CCS, based on the configuration using
Paradigm LightDesigner software. An "Analog Input" object is created for each "Level"
object with functional assignment on the BACnet I/O panel within LightDesigner, up to a
maximum of 1000 objects.
The “Present_Value” property will always have the objects analog value represented as an
integer between the values of 0-255. The “Present_Value” is read-only and is not
changeable by the BACnet client.
The Analog Input "ETCBACnetCID" (Analog_Input_BCID) property will be provided a value
that is unique within the storage of the BACnet Interface device and the P-CCS sub-system.
