Alarm Log Configuration
: This folder contains the alarm log objects. Each
alarm log object creates a historical log of alarm transitions of one or more
alarm objects (alarm server or client). To create an alarm log, select the folder
and use the context menu.
Using the context menu on a folder, sub-folders may be created to organize the available
objects. If new objects are created automatically, they are usually placed in the base folder
and can then be moved by the user to any of his sub-folders. Note, that the folder structure
described above cannot be changed by adding or deleting folders at that level.
6.2.2 Network Port Folders
Each network port folder on the device has the same structure of sub folders. These sub
folders are:
Datapoints
: This folder holds all data points, which are allocated on the network port.
To create a data point, select the folder and use the context menu.
Calendar
: This folder is used to hold a locally available calendar object with its
calendar patterns (definitions of day classes like holiday, maintenance day, and so on).
Current devices allow one local calendar object. To create a calendar, select the folder
and use the context menu.
Scheduler
: This folder is used for local scheduler objects. Each of these objects will
map to a local scheduler on the device‘s network port. Configuring schedules through
these objects actually transfers
schedule configuration data
to the underlying scheduler
objects on the network port. To create a scheduler, select the folder and use the context
menu.
Alarm
: This folder is used for local alarm server objects. Each of these alarm server
objects represent an alarm class, which other objects can report alarms to. Other
devices can use the alarm server object to get notified about alarms. To create an alarm
server object, select the folder and use the context menu.
Trend
: This folder is used for local trend log objects. Each of these objects will be able
to trend data points over time and store a local trend log file. To create a trend log
object, select the folder and use the context menu.
Statistics
: This folder contains registers, which provide communication statistics
specific to the network port.
Remote Devices
: This folder is used to collect all remote calendars, schedulers, trend
logs, and alarm client objects, which were created from network scan data. For each
remote device, a subfolder will be created where the objects referencing this device are
collected.
6.2.3 Data Point List
At the top right, a list of all data objects which are available in the selected folder is shown.
From this list, objects may be selected (including multi-select) in order to modify some of
their properties. Click on the
Include Subfolders
button to show all data points of the
selected data point folder and all its sub-folders. This can be a convenient way for multi-
select across folders. To filter for data point names, enter a search text into the
Datapoint
Name Filter
text box and hit
Enter
. A drop-down list holds the previously used filters
available.
The list can be sorted by clicking on one of the column headers. For example, clicking on
the
Direction
column header will sort the list by direction. Other columns display
Datapoint Name
,
NV name
,
SNVT
,
Object Name
, object
Type
and
Instance
number,
allocation (
Alloc
) of server object (SO) and/or client mapping (CM), number of attached
Client Maps
, and the data point unique
ID
. To apply the current sort order as the new data
point order on the device, right-click on the column header and select
Renumber
Datapoints
. Alternatively, select from the menu
Tools
Renumber Datapoints.
