BACnetStack_SetIntrinsicChangeOfStateAlgorithmUnsigned

bool BACnetStack_SetIntrinsicChangeOfStateAlgorithmUnsigned(
  const uint32_t deviceInstance,
  const uint16_t objectType,
  const uint32_t objectInstance,
  const uint32_t alarmValue,
  const uint32_t timeDelay,
  const bool useTimeDelayNormal,
  const uint32_t timeDelayNormal,
  const bool enable);

Enables the ChangeOfState intrinsic event algorithm for an object whose monitored Present_Value is an UnsignedInteger (e.g. multiStateInput / multiStateValue).

The alarm value is stored so its type matches the monitored UnsignedInteger value’s type, allowing the type-strict changeOfState algorithm to fire.

The object must exist and have alarms and events enabled by BACnetStack_SetAlarmsAndEventsForObjectEnabled(…, enabled=true) - an Event Enrollment object carries its own and needs no such call; otherwise this returns false.

Each call ADDS the value to the alarm values (a Multi-state object’s Alarm_Values list, or an Event Enrollment’s alarm values); a value already present is not added twice. To remove values, disable the object with BACnetStack_SetAlarmsAndEventsForObjectEnabled(…, enabled=false) and arm it again.

BACnet reference: ANSI/ASHRAE 135-2024 clause 13.3.2 (CHANGE_OF_STATE Event Algorithm).

Parameters

Parameter	Direction	Description
`deviceInstance`	in	The instance number of the device that owns this object.
`objectType, objectInstance`	in	The object for alarms and events: one BACnet Object Identifier, carried as two parameters (see the API conventions).
`alarmValue`	in	The Present_Value (as an UnsignedInteger) that puts the object into the offnormal state.
`timeDelay`	in	How long, in seconds, an offnormal condition has to persist before the event state changes to offnormal.
`useTimeDelayNormal`	in	Whether to use a different time delay value for the timeDelayNormal, or just use the timeDelay value.
`timeDelayNormal`	in	How long, in seconds, a normal condition has to persist before the event state returns to normal.
`enable`	in	Initial inhibit state, inverted - NOT a remove. true arms the algorithm; false leaves it armed but INHIBITED through the object’s Event_Algorithm_Inhibit property (or Reliability_Evaluation_Inhibit for a fault algorithm). Both of those properties are made WRITABLE by BACnetStack_SetAlarmsAndEventsForObjectEnabled(), so a remote client can change the state afterwards. To genuinely remove an armed algorithm, disable the object with BACnetStack_SetAlarmsAndEventsForObjectEnabled(…, enabled=false). Recommended value: true

Returns

True on success; false if the device or object does not exist, the object type does not support this algorithm, or Alarm-and-Event support was not compiled (STACK_OPTION_ALARMS_AND_EVENTS).
