Global calendar object: A logical object at site level. It exists in identical form (as a replicated object) on
each automation station of a site.
Local calendar object: Individual (unique) object that exists only on a particular automation station.
Local processing: Schedule objects in an automation station may reference the replicated calendar objects
in the device. A client may read the global calendar objects from any automation station.
Reasons for replication: Global exceptions (bank holidays, general holidays, etc.) can be modified centrally
in one location for the entire site. Ensures continuity of operation if the master fails.
User profile object
Global user profile object: A logical object at the site level. It exists in identical form (as a replicated object)
on each automation station of a site. There must be at least one user profile object.
There are no local user profile objects.
Local processing: Access control is based on the replicated user profile objects in the automation stations
(BACnet devices): No dependency on a server.
Reading of objects by a client: A client may read the global user profile objects from any automation
station.
Reasons for replication: Replication is designed to maintain consistency of the access rights throughout the
site, and to ensure continuity of operation in the event of the failure of the master.
