9.22.1 Objects Report
This section provides information on configuring the Objects report.
Overview
An Objects report contains an Objects table that displays the run time property
values of system objects. To know the property values of any object such as
present value, high limit, low limit and so on, you must configure an Objects report.
Each object has a corresponding object model associated with it. An object model
specifies the properties applicable to the object type, configuration attributes of
properties, and additional settings like data type of the property, text group
configured for the property, commands defined for the property and so on. Each
property value has configuration attributes like property name, property descriptor,
unit, resolution, minimum and maximum value, and so on. For example, the
Present Value property has attributes such as Unit, Resolution, Type, Descriptor
and so on. The Objects report also provides information on these attributes.
The properties applicable to an object type can be selected to display as columns
in the Objects table by setting the appropriate display levels in the
Properties
expander in Models and Functions. For more information on setting display levels,
see System Help. In the following screenshot, the AlarmFault and Alarm.OffNormal
properties cannot display as table columns since their display levels are not set.
If a property has array attributes assigned to it, then the text entries in the text
group associated with the array attributes of the property can be set as the attribute
columns in the Objects table. For example, the Event_Time_Stamps property of the
BACnet Analog Input object type has the TxG_BACnetEventTransitionBits Text
group associated with its array attributes. You can set the text entries of the text
group (To Off Normal, To Fault, To Normal) to display as columns in the Objects
table.
