1.5 ETC Macro Object Type
ETC Macro: BACnet Properties List
Is the Object Type Proprietary?
Yes.
Does the Object Type contain any Proprietary Properties?
Yes, all but the first eight properties.
General Description of Object Type
The ETC "Macro" object type is an ETC proprietary construct to encapsulate multiple
properties of a Paradigm "Macro" and its associated values. Paradigm macros are custom
actions, pre-configured as a grouping of standard actions, and performed as a subroutine.
ETC Macros can possess state with different functionality for the "On" and "Off" states.
Each object instance for this "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. The maximum number of objects supported is 5,000.
The "Present_Value" property will always have the objects status value. The "Macro_BCID"
(EtcBACnetCID) value will always be a unique identifier within the storage of the BACnet
interface device and the P-CCS sub-system.
