Command Syntax
Siemens Building Technologies, Inc. 3-25
AUTO (Auto status)
Unitary pre-APOGEE APOGEE BACnet
Syntax
AUTO(pt1,...,pt16)
pt1
through
pt16
Name of a point to be set to AUTO status.
• This parameter must be a LOOAL or LOOAP point
type.
Use
Changes the operational status of an ON/OFF/AUTO point to AUTO.
A maximum of 16 points can be changed with one AUTO command.
Example
100 AUTO(EFAN1,EFAN2,EFAN3)

DAY (Day mode)
Unitary pre-APOGEE APOGEE BACnet
Syntax
DAY(pt1,...,pt16)
pt1
through
pt16
Name of a point to be set to DAY mode.
• This parameter must be a logical controller (LCTLR)
point type.
Use
Changes a LCTLR point to DAY mode status.
A maximum of 16 points can be changed with one DAY command.
Example
100 IF (TIME.LT.7:00.OR.TIME.GT.18:00) THEN
NIGHT(LCTLR2) ELSE DAY(LCTLR2)
Notes
For some equipment controllers, DAY mode is also referred to as
OCC (occupied) mode. If an equipment controller is in OCC mode,
PPCL recognizes this status as DAY.
