Name

A unique name for your point (alias).

Poll Rate

The rate at which polling occurs using the time format: days:hours:minutes:seconds.tenths of a second. The maximum rate is 6:23:59:59.9. The default is 01. Zero is disabled.

Data Type

The requested data type to convert the alias into. The valid data types are: DEFAULT, SINT, INT, DINT, USINT, UINT, UDINT, REAL, LREAL, STRING, and BOOL. More data types may be available depending on the protocol.

Array Size

The number of elements in an array. Zero indicates this alias is not an array. The valid range of entries is 0 through 10,000. Not all protocols support arrays.

String Length

The number of characters of a string type alias value to read. The valid range of entries is 1 through 999. The default value is 32.

Specify Data Location

If you set this property to True, the Data Location property is made visible. The property is hidden by default. The valid options are True or False (default).

Data Location

The data location for reads and writes to sub-register data. By default, sub-register reads and writes communicate with the data location of 0. The valid options are 0 or 1 for bytes and 0 through 15 for bits. The default is 0. For integer (INT) or larger data type settings, this property is not applicable.

Signal Conditioning

You can use this property to select a signal conditioning option for data manipulation. Signal conditioning scales the raw values received into a different range of values depending on the parameters supplied. This scaling can make raw data meaningful to you. The valid signal conditioning options include None, 8BN, 8AL, 12BN, 12AL, 13BN, 13AL, 15BN, 15AL, LIN, 3BCD, and 4BCD. More signal conditioning options may be available depending upon the protocol.

Engineering Units Low Limit

Minimum value

The smallest value, in engineering units, that is displayed as a value. The default is 0. The minimum valid low limit is -1.79E+308.

Engineering Units High Limit

Maximum value

The largest value, in engineering units, that is displayed as a value. The default is 100. The maximum valid high limit is 1.79E+308.

Engineering Units

The range for the engineering units.

Engineering units are used to linearly scale variable values from external sources, such as devices on your device network using I/O.

Deadband

An integer value that represents a percentage of deviation that needs to be exceeded before an item's value changes. It works in cooperation with engineering units high and low limits. Enter this value as a number between 1 and 100, representing a percentage of the full engineering units (EGU) range of the item.

Create a unique name for your point (alias).

Filter By

The property you select to filter by. If the properties are categorized, the selected property option takes the second row of listed properties and the other property takes the third row.

The valid options are System Variable and Server Object.

Server Object

The available Server Object options vary according to the System Variable selected.

For a complete list of all server objects, refer to the System Alias Properties section in the Proficy Driver Server Help.

System Variable

System variables are special variables that provide information about the computer or system that your application runs on. The available System Variables are modified according to the Project Details Properties selected.

For a complete list of all system variables, refer to the Statistics section in the Proficy Driver Server Help.
