Use the ObixExportManager to add and manage export descriptors (ObixExports) for control points in the local station, such that remote oBIX clients can participate in continuous control applications (meaning, link into specific prioritized inputs of specific points).
The ObixExportManager is the default view of the ObixExportFolder under the ObixNetwork. To view, double-click the Exports folder, or right-click and select ->.
Currently in a Niagara R2 to AX oBIX application, this view has no practical use as Niagara R2 stations running the obix driver do not have oBIX client capabilities.
Although not a standard view in the driver architecture, it is similar to other manager views in that there is a Discovered table (if in Learn mode) and a Database table.
The Discovered table in the ObixExportManager view has the following available columns:
-
Name
Name of the component in the local station.
-
Path
Station path of the component, relative to the root.
-
Type
Component type. Currently, only writable control points (including writable proxy points) can be added to the database: BooleanWritable, EnumWritable, NumericWritable, and StringWritable.
By default, the following columns appear in the Discovered table of the ObixExportManager view:
-
Name
Niagara name of the export descriptor, often left the same as the source control point.
-
Point
Ord for the slot in the station for this control point.
-
Value
Current out value for the control point.
-
Priority
The priority input of the control point exported (linked) to oBIX for remote writes.
-
Fault Reason
If export descriptor is in fault, explains why. Typically this reflects misconfiguration, such as selecting a Priority level that is already linked on the target control point.
In addition (using the table options control), the following additional data column is available:
-
Facets
Shows the facets in use by the target control point.
