Point Field Definitions in the Workbench

Most of the field names state exactly what the field is. However, for reference, following is a brief explanation of all the fields available for display.


Field	To Display
Access Filter	"E" if the point is an Enterprise point.
Address	Actual starting address of the point within a device (for device points) See the CIMPLICITY Device Communications documentation for details on the addressing supported for your particular device and protocol.
Address Offset	Offset in memory from the first bit of the point Address that marks the start of the point data (for device points).
Alarm High	High alarm value for the point
Alarm Low	Low alarm value for the point
Data Length	Data length associated with the data type chosen.
Data Type ID	Point type used for the point from one of the following values:
	0	Boolean type point
	1	Integer type point
	2	APPL type point
	3	Text type point
	4	Unsigned 8-bit integer type point
	5	Unsigned 16-bit integer type point
	6	Unsigned 32-bit integer type point
	7	Signed 8-bit integer type point
	8	Signed 16-bit integer type point
	9	Signed 32-bit integer type point
	10	Floating point type point
Description	Brief information about the point.
Device ID	Source of the point data with one of the following values: <device name>–The name of the device that is supplying the point data.
	`$GLOBAL`		Indicates that the point is a Global derived point.
	`$DERIVED`		Indicates that the point is a Calculated derived point.
Display Format	Format used for the point in CimView. Display Limits Options If no limits are set for an expression when there is horizontal/vertical movement, rotation/fill or horizontal/vertical scaling in CimView and a point is the single point used in the expression:
	Display Limits			Upper and lower limits
	Display Limits High			Upper limit
	Display Limits Low			Lower limit
Elements	Number of elements that make up a point. A number greater than one (1) means the point is an array point.
Has EU	Identifies whether or not Engineering Units (EU) conversion is being done for the point Displaying either:
	0	No EU conversion.
	1	Linear or custom conversion is enabled.
Log to DB	1	Point will be logged to the default CIMPLICITY DATA_LOG database.
	0	Point will not be logged to the default CIMPLICITY DATA_LOG database
Log to Historian	1	Point will be logged to Historian.
	0	Point will not be logged to Historian.
Modified	Displays the date when the point was last modified.
Need Update	Displays either:
	0	The project is up to date.
	1	The point has been modified and the project needs a configuration update.
Point Class	Class selected for the point; displays one of the following:
	0	Analog class
	1	Digital class
	3	Text class
	4	Application class
Point Origin	Origin of the point, displays one of the following:
	0	Calculated derived point
	1	Device point
	2	Global derived point
Point Type	Type of point (e.g. UINT, INT).
Resource	Resource associated with the point.
Warning High	High warning value for the point.
Warning Low	Low warning value for the point.

Note: The Remove button will be disabled if the field is required. The Move Down or Move Up button will be disabled if a field that will be affected by the move has to appear in the furthest left position.
