1.6 ETC Preset Object Type

ETC Preset: 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 Preset object type is an ETC proprietary construct to encapsulate multiple

properties of a Paradigm "Preset" and its associated values. Paradigm presets are

persistent lighting looks or scenes for one or more channels.

The preset playback can be scoped to individual spaces, if they span multiple spaces. 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. The maximum number of objects supported is 10,000.

The "Present_Value" property will always have the objects status value. The

"Preset_BCID" (EtcBACnetCID) value will always be a unique identifier within the storage

of the BACnet interface device and the P-CCS sub-system.
