Special Analog Network
Initialization
The Special Analog Network Initialization checkbox does the following:
•
Stops analog points from being sent over a network for initialization unless they are in an
abnormal state.
•
During normal operation, stops analog point value changes from being sent over a
network unless the values cross a threshold as defined in custom control.
This option should be checked on large networks to reduce network initialization time and
network traffic. This option should not be selected if any Custom Control is written against
non-threshold value changes of LIFEalarm points, or if current values are displayed on graphic
screens on a GCC.
Refer to Figure 5-2 for the location of this option.
