Data Point Description Function
Definition
A Point Description defines attributes for points. Attributes are descriptive
information for points and depend on the type of point. For example, analog points
have high and low warning and alarm limits while digital points have runtime values.
Point vs. Data Point
Note that XI581/2 refers to points as “data points”. This document uses the term
“point” except where “data point” is used in XI581/2 screen displays. EXCEL 5000™
literature generally uses the term “points”. The terms have the same meaning.
