CIMPLICITYSystem Sentry Point by Address on a CimEdit Screen
You can create an object that is governed by a system point by address on any CimEdit screen. These objects can provide you with system monitoring capabilities that augment the pre-configured System Sentry screens.
Note: If you want to use alarms with your object, you have to create an object that uses a System Sentry device point.
The steps to configure a System Sentry point by address are:
| Step 1 | Insert or create an object (on an open CimEdit screen) that will be governed by the point by address at runtime |
| Step 2 | Open the Point by Address dialog box. |
| Step 3 | Fill in the Point by Address dialog box. |
| Step 4 | Select the object???counter???instance whose value will display. |
| Step 5 | (Optional) Change the scan rate. |
| Step 6 | Test the configuration. |
Note: These steps configure a simple shape and text object as an example. However, CimEdit offers you an extensive selection of objects that can be inserted or created in a screen.
