Create SCADA Points

Create SCADA points from the objects. Ensure that you browsed a device to proceed with point creation.

To create points, perform the following:

  1. Select the objects.
    You can either right-click the node, and then select Select all children, or to select the children of a node, you can double-click the node.
    Once you select an object, Stage Points button is enabled.
  2. Select Stage Points.
    All the selected points are staged and listed.

    Marker Description
    1 Enter text to display point IDs that contain the entered text.
    2 Enter a prefix to the name of the points that will be created.
    3 Enter the number of levels in the namespace to be stripped off from the beginning of the point IDs. For example, if you do not want AirConditioner_1 in the namespace, you must select 2.
    4 When the project is running, if you toggle on Dynamic mode, the points that are created will be available immediately. If you toggle off Dynamic mode, the points that are created will become available only after you restart the project
    Note: In a redundant system, for dynamic configuration to work, the CIMPLICITY Configuration Microservice should run as the same user with the same password configured in the redundant pair of systems.
