BACnetStack_SetIntrinsicOutOfRangeAlgorithm

bool BACnetStack_SetIntrinsicOutOfRangeAlgorithm(
const uint32_t deviceInstance,
const uint16_t objectType,
const uint32_t objectInstance,
const float lowLimit,
const float highLimit,
const float deadband,
const bool enableLowLimit,
const bool enableHighLimit,
const uint32_t timeDelay,
const bool useTimeDelayNormal,
const uint32_t timeDelayNormal,
const bool enable);

Enables the Intrinsic Out Of Range Algorithm for an object.

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.

This function will enable the required properties and store the initial values in memory.

BACnet reference: ANSI/ASHRAE 135-2024 clause 13.3.6 (OUT_OF_RANGE Event Algorithm).

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).
lowLimit in The bottom of the normal band.
highLimit in The top of the normal band.
deadband in The margin by which the value has to come back inside the exceeded limit before the event state returns to normal. A NaN or infinite deadband fails the call and changes nothing.
enableLowLimit in Whether to enable the low limit to the algorithm (true) or not (false).
enableHighLimit in Whether to enable the high limit to the algorithm (true) or not (false).
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

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).

Topic: Alarms and events. Declared in CASBACnetStackDLL.h.
