Step 6.2. Define a Class Action

All CIMPLICITY action types (found in the Event Editor) are available except for:

Alarm Lookup and

Recipe Upload/Download.

The difference between configuring a class action and a standard action is that you:

Select a data item instead of a point ID when you configure an action that requires a point ID.

The CIMPLICITY $OBJECT variable is automatically entered when you select the data item.

Note: The user can associate a non-object event with an object action. This allows an object to instantiate actions that can be called from other events.

  1. Fill in the fields as follows.
