The flow diagram in Figure 70 shows the steps that need to be followed in order to configure the L Gate in a network with LNS 3 x In this scenario the L Gate will use dynamic NVs and bindings First the L Gate device must be added to LNS see Section 0 Then the L Gateway configuration utility must be started in plug in mode to configure the L Gate see Section 0 In the utility scan for the data points in the LNS database see Section 0 Select the NVs that the L Gate shall expose to BACnet see Section 0 Generate BACnet objects and connections from the used NVs see Section 0 Finally the configuration needs to be downloaded onto the L Gate see Section 0 It is recommended to save the complete configuration to a disk file for being able to replace an L Gate in the network LOYTEC electronics GmbH L Gate User s Manual 84 LOYTEC ome Add L Gate Section 7 2 l Start L Gateway Configuration Utility as a plug in Section 7 4 1 Scan network variables Section 7 4 4 l Select NVs and use on L Gate Section 7 4 7 i Generate BACnet objects Section 7 4 11 Download configuration to L Gate Section 7 4 12 oj Figure 70 Basic design flow with LNS To add more NVs when all bindings are in place and the L Gate is being used simply repeat the steps described above The L Gateway configuration software will back up the bi

CAL 1 on the BACnet port The BACnet schedule object allows only objects of one selected data type to be scheduled Therefore schedulers on BACnet can only schedule one class of data points e g only one group of analog data points As a consequence the value preset in BACnet always has only one element The name of the value preset is not stored in BACnet Therefore a default name is created such as Value 22 for an analog value An example of two scheduled BACnet objects is shown in Figure 116 Datapoint Figure 116 Example value presets in BACnet schedulers Priorities of exception days in a BACnet scheduler range from 1 the highest to 16 the lowest Weekdays in BACnet have no priority Changing the number of calendar patterns in a BACnet calendar can only be done through the configuration software and not during run time The individual calendar pattern entries in the calendar patterns can be changed at run time Therefore it is advisable to reserve a suitable number of calendar patterns in a BACnet calendar and leave them empty if not needed immediately Local Alarming Create an Alarm Server To generate local alarms an alarm server needs to be created at first The local alarm sources will report alarms to that alarm server The alarm server is the interface to access local alarms This can be done over the network or the Web UI Version 3 0 1 LOYTEC electronics GmbH L Gate User s Manual 129 LOYTEC To Cr
