1.9 ETC Space Object Type
ETC Space: 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 Space object type is an ETC proprietary construct to encapsulate all the
properties of a Paradigm 'Space' and its associated values. Paradigm spaces may contain
channels, walls, and other spaces (by reference) as needed.
Spaces within other spaces create a hierarchy of objects. Spaces also provide access to
presets that affect a given space, direct control of space lighting intensity, and access to
control and monitor individual channels and walls. 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 Paradigm Central Control Server (P-CCS),
based on the configuration using Paradigm LightDesigner software.
The "Present_Value" property will always have the object's 'off status'. The various
"*_BCID" (ETCBACnetCID) values will always be unique identifiers within the storage of the
BACnet interface device and the P-CCS sub-system.

A "Parent_Space_BCID" value of all zeros implies the Server Project itself, which
is really only a container and not a space at all.
