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.

is really only a container and not a space at all.
