QUALITY (Attribute)

QUALITY is not configuration data, as with value attributes, but is used to dynamically change the behavior of a point, or dynamically reflect runtime information about the point.

QUALITY is the sum of all its current binary values in decimal format.


Associated Point Type	Device
Access	Read Only
Value Type	UINT
Expression Syntax	PointID.QUALITY

QUALITY can also be configured to display the state of each of its individual indicators.

Following are the CIMPLICITY read-only indicators located at each of the 16 bit positions.


Indicator	Bit Position
MANUAL_MODE	0x01
LAST_UPD_MAN	0x02
IS_AVAILABLE	0x04
IS_IN_RANGE	0x08
STALE_DATA	0x10
ALARMS_ENABLED	0x20
DISABLE_WRITE	0x40
ALARMED	0x80

Note:

The 0x0100 bit position indicates if the alarm is in the ACK state.
The 0x0200 bit position indicates if the Devcom can specify alarm states for the point.
The 0x0400 bit position indicates if the point is not configured.
