FieldPoint FP-1000/1001 User Manual
All of the FieldPoint I/O Items in your configuration file are
automatically imported as tags into BridgeVIEW and are now
accessible through the BridgeVIEW real-time database. Do not
worry if you get a message that no tags were created for the network
modules in your system, as they do not have any I/O items.
6. You may edit the tags to change their names, scaling information,
and other parameters.
Refer to your BridgeVIEW documentation for more information
about tags and their configuration. Hint: the Tag Configuration
Editor may be easier to read for FieldPoint tags if you change the
middle column heading from Tag Group to Item.
7. When you have finished editing the tags (or if you chose to keep the
default settings for the tags), exit the Tag Configuration Editor and
save the changes to the configuration file.
You can now access the FieldPoint I/O Items by reading or writing
these tags as you would any other tag in BridgeVIEW.
Using the FieldPoint Lookout Driver Class
When you install the FieldPoint software, a FieldPoint driver class is
created if Lookout has already been installed on your computer. When
you create a FieldPoint object within Lookout, you specify the
configuration file created by FieldPoint Explorer. The FieldPoint object
you create uses this configuration file to import the information about
the I/O items that you had configured within FieldPoint Explorer. All of
these I/O Items are immediately accessible as writable and/or readable
data members.
To start using the FieldPoint Lookout driver class, follow these steps:
1. Configure and test your FieldPoint server from FieldPoint
Explorer, as described in the
section of
this chapter, and save your configuration file.
2. Exit FieldPoint Explorer.
Note: You must exit FieldPoint Explorer before you can use the FieldPoint driver
class from Lookout.
3. Start Lookout, and create a new control panel or open an
existing one.
