Write Priority Indicator Widget
Used only with I/O and Calculations tags attached to BACnet Drivers.
* Does not use the Style Settings tag.
The Write Priority Indicator widget is used to display the status of a command-able property in a BACnet device. It is composed of two parts:
- A priority level indicator that shows the priority of the effective command in the device (the highest priority with a non-null value)
- A command status box that changes its color based on the status of the command priority set by the Write Address of the attached tag.
(sample shows "default")
The combination of the color and the priority level determines the status of the command, related to the address priority (default colors):
No priority shown
Box not shaded: no command set at any priority level.
Current priority shown / green box
Current command set and it’s the highest valid priority level.
Higher priority shown / orange box
Current command set and it’s not the highest valid priority level.
Another priority shown (either higher or lower) / box not shaded:
Current command not set and at least one valid priority level is set.
This widget actively reads the Priority_Array property of the address in the selected tag, updating it according to the scan rate property. This may result in higher-than-expected network traffic in limited networks (approximately 70-100 bytes/sec). This will increase for each widget linked to a different tag property drawn in a page. Tags with different priorities for the same address will share the results.
