Managing Enumerated Sets

Before You Begin

Export the enumerated sets into an Excel worksheet.
Before importing enumerated sets into Historian from an Excel worksheet, you can perform the following actions:

To add sets:

  1. Enter details in the following columns in the Excel worksheet.
    • SetName
    • SetDescription
    • StateName
    • StateDescription
    • StateLowValue
    • StateHighValue
    • StateRawValueDataType
    • NumberOfStatesInThisSet
    We recommend that you fill the columns in the aforementioned sequence.
  2. Select Import Enumerated Sets.

To delete sets:

  1. Select the row that contains the state you want to delete.
  2. Right-click the row, and then select Delete.

To modify the description of a set:

Place the cursor in the StateDescription cell and modify the description.

You cannot modify the name of the set. If you change the name of the set, it is considered a new set.

To add states:

  1. Select the set to which you want to add a set.
  2. Add the name of the set in the SetName column.

    The name match the set you selected.

  3. Enter the details in the SetDescription, StateName, StateDescription, StateLowValue, StateHighValue, and StateRawValueDataType columns.
  4. Enter the total number of states in the NumberOfStatesInThisSet column.

    Ensure that this value is the same for the current state and existing states in the set. For example, if a state has two states already and you are adding a third state, the number of states for all the three states must be changed to three.

    A new state is added to the set.

To modify states:

  1. Modify the values of each state.

    The states are modified.

To delete states:

  1. Select the row that contains the state you want to delete.
  2. Right-click the row, and then select Delete.

    The state is deleted.
