ENHANCED ALARMING WITH BACNET OBJECTS
First Claim
1. A method in a data processing system, the method comprising:
- monitoring a value of a data point associated with a device in an automation system using a set of pairs of event enrollment objects and notification class objects configured to generate and communicate an alarm according to a first protocol, each of the pairs of objects corresponding to one of a set of offsets defined according to a second protocol;
writing property values of the pairs of objects for different alarm monitoring modes using a set of command objects; and
in response to detecting the value for the data point meeting conditions in at least one of the event enrollment objects, generating and communicating an alarm according to a notification class object paired with the at least one event enrollment object.

Abstract
Management systems, methods, and mediums are provided. A method includes monitoring a value of a data point associated with a device in an automation system using a set of pairs of event enrollment objects and notification class objects configured to generate and communicate an alarm according to a first protocol. Each of the pairs of objects corresponds to one of a set of offsets defined according to a second protocol. The method also includes writing property values of the pairs of objects for different alarm monitoring modes using a set of command objects. Additionally, the method includes generating and communicating, in response to detecting the value for the data point meeting conditions in at least one of the event enrollment objects, an alarm according to a notification class object paired with the at least one event enrollment object.

8. A data processing system comprising:
-
a storage device comprising an alarm manager application; an accessible memory comprising instructions of the alarm manager application; and a processor configured to execute the instructions of the alarm manager application to; monitor a value of a data point associated with a device in an automation system using a set of pairs of event enrollment objects and notification class objects configured to generate and communicate an alarm according to a first protocol, each of the pairs of objects corresponding to one of a set of offsets defined according to a second protocol; write property values of the pairs of objects for different alarm monitoring modes using a set of command objects; and generate and communicate, in response to detecting the value for the data point meeting conditions in at least one of the event enrollment objects, an alarm according to a notification class object paired with the at least one event enrollment object. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with executable instructions that, when executed, cause one or more data processing systems to:
-
monitor a value of a data point associated with a device in an automation system using a set of pairs of event enrollment objects and notification class objects configured to generate and communicate an alarm according to a first protocol, each of the pairs of objects corresponding to one of a set of offsets defined according to a second protocol; write property values of the pairs of objects for different alarm monitoring modes using a set of command objects; and generate and communicate, in response to detecting the value for the data point meeting conditions in at least one of the event enrollment objects, an alarm according to a notification class object paired with the at least one event enrollment object. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
