Up to 6 states can be defined. Each of these states is associated with a specific value of the
communication object. For each state, it is possible to define both an icon and/or a text label.
The icon and/or text will be shown when the corresponding value is received through the
communication object.
Additionally, it is possible to define the icon and/or text label for a so called “fallback state”. The
fallback state icon and/or text will be shown when a value that is not associated to any other
state is received through the communication object.
If no fallback state is defined, received values that do not match any state will be ignored.
