Binary Output Priority Array in BACnet and Command Null

---

As we would focus on MANGO ES, I believe my technical post will in this group only.

I have 2 questions
Q1) I only know we can command the write priority in data points for binary output (active / inactive) , can we view the template for priority array? For example as below.

Q2) If I use write priority : 8 , the MANGO ES binary ouput will point to priority 8, others priority from 9 to 16 will unable to function, as the BO we allow to set either "active" or " inactive" mode only. There is no NULL allow

Please advise.

Hi Frank,

To question 2,
Setting an index to "NULL" as is in the image you have shown is to "relinquish" the set value. You can do this on the data point details page, and it is also possible to do via script.

To question 1, I am not sure what you mean the template for the priority array. You should be able to read the priority array into Mango, but it may require some additional processing to get it from a string representation to whatever representation would be suited to your use

Hi Philips,
Regards to question 2 on relinquisher, how can I come to the page you shown me ? I wish to know how you did that.
I only manage to go to dashboard designer by adding "setpoint value" , as below-:
.

Regards to question 1 on priority array, what I snap shot is from another software where we can see a BO priority thru a template by the software. I will try it out, if any further clarification require I will resend in this post.

Thank you.
Frank

Dear Philips,

Can we have or how should we do if we want to have "one , zero , relinquish" ? As following, example.

If cannot be done, how about - the relinquish name change the name only to "Auto" ?

regards,
Frank

For the first example I think you'd have to write that as a new component in a user module.

For the second, while there may be a CSS selector to get that done, the easiest way would be to copy Mango/classes/i18n.properties to Mango/overrides/properties/i18n.properties and changing

common.relinquish=Relinquish to common.relinquish=Auto

This may require restarting Mango, though. There may also be other instances of the word relinquish you may or may not want to change.

You can do it from CSS but its pretty hacky -

.md-button span[ma-tr="common.relinquish"] {
    text-indent: -9999px;
    line-height: 0;
    visibility: hidden;
    display: inline-block;
}

.md-button span[ma-tr="common.relinquish"]::after {
    text-indent: 0;
    line-height: initial;
    visibility: visible;
    display: block;
    content: "Auto";
}

Any update ?

@techalton Phillip does not work at Infinite Automation any more.

Can you please clearly describe what you are trying to achieve. Please detail your current setup (details about your dashboards, datasource etc) and what exactly is not working the way you want.
