General Description of Object Type
Binary 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
binary or switched feedback for objects within a Paradigm system.
Each object instance for this "Object_Type" has an "Object_Identifier" that is unique for this
type and "Object_Name".
The BACnet object instance is managed by the P-CCS, based on the configuration using
Paradigm LightDesigner software. An "Binary Input" object is created for each "Indicator"
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 Boolean
("ACTIVE" / "INACTIVE") value. The "Present_Value" is read-only and is not changeable
by the BACnet client. The "Binary_Input_BCID", (EtcBACnetCID) property will be provided
a value that is unique within the storage of the BACnet interface device and the P-CCS sub-
system.
