Issue
Handle id limits on Continuum controllers.
Environment
All master level controllers (bCX, CX)
All b3 controllers
All i2 controllers
Cause
Handle id limits on Continuum controllers.
Resolution
Field controllers have a total limit of 255 objects, approximately 50 of them are reserved for system variables and other system objects, leaving approximately 200 that can be user created in the field controller.
All IP level devices in the Continuum line follow the handle specifications of the Continuum protocol. This includes the BACnet devices such as the bCX-4040. Handle numbers for most object types (including all BACnet types) are in the range 7,000 to 65,535. That allows for 58,536 objects, which is more than the memory can hold. Continuum style alarms (not BACnet alarms) have handles in the range 1,000 to 4,999.
Controller will run out of memory before it runs out of handles.
