As such, the controller now has an entry in priority array 16 of an object which effectively

“overrides” it and

by-passes the local control application program.

The know issue with this is that by default, Niagara does not poll or update any of the priority arrays of an
object and it is NOT reflected under the proxied object property sheet.

So although you do see the real present value of the object under present value “Out” extension of the object,
the displayed priority array 16 “In16” shows a value of NULL. But in effect, it is not NULL.

Viewing if a BACnet array 1 to 16 is actually being used

The only way to positively confirm if a point has an entry in any of the 16 priority array levels is to use the
Niagara BACnet “Config” view. Simply open the view and add the objects as needed.
