DEVICE DATABASE REVISION OVERVIEW
Overview
Database Revision is a property of type unsigned of the device object (see BACnet Spec 12.11.35). It is a logical revision number for the device’s database. The user can either provide an initial Database Revision number through a callback or a default value will set by the stack. The Database Revision property is generated on device object creation and will increment if any of the following occurs:
- An object is created
- An object is deleted
- An object’s name is changed
- An object’s Object Identifier property is changed
- Restore is performed
Creation and deletion of temporary configuration files during a backup or restore will not affect this property.
