Chapter 12.
AMON Point Type
Introduction This chapter describes creating custom point types (referred to as AMON point types) for use
with analog monitor ZAMs. These point types allow descriptive text and device-specific
settings to be associated with a point name.
In this chapter
AMON Pt Type
Tab
The AMON Pt Type tab (Figure 12-1) is for use only with IDNET analog monitor ZAMs. It
allows you to create a custom point type that specifies how the ES Panel system should
interpret (i.e., react to) incoming analog data from the device attached to the ZAM. This point
type can then be assigned to the ZAM using the IDNET point editing screen, which is
accessible through either the Hardware or Point tab. For example, if you have an analog
device that measures the amount of liquid within a tank, you can use this tab to create a point
type that specifies what the unit of measurement is (gallons, for example) and what the
threshold values for an alarm should be (generate an alarm when the tank is half empty, for
example).
