If a device (other than the device hosting the graphic) fails after the graphic is opened,
this is seen as a change in status. The graphic components that are bound to objects
in this device will
not automatically display as degraded unless specific settings have
been selected in the graphic properties. The FIN Builder feature
Status to Simple is
used to select a variety of visual indications, including changing a background color or
degrading the display of a component.
FIN Builder Statuses Supported for Siemens BACnet Objects
FIN Builder provides nine statuses; however not all of the FIN Builder statuses are
mapped to a Siemens TALON BACnet Object status. The following table outlines the
FIN Builder statuses that are supported for Siemens TALON BACnet Objects. The
statuses are listed in descending order by priority.
NOTE:
Only one color can be displayed on a graphic at a time. Therefore, the highest status
always takes priority on the graphic. For example, if a point is currently in
Alarm but
also
Out Of Service, the Out Of Service color is displayed because this status has the
highest priority.
