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. |
