Device Point Properties

On the Device tab in the Point Properties dialog box:.

Update Criteria

The update criteria determine how the data will be collected and/or updated in your CIMPLICITY software application.

Enter On Change or On Scan for points whose values should be polled by the Toyopuc Ethernet Communications Driver at regular intervals.

Enter On Demand On Scan or On Demand On Change for points whose values should be polled by the Toyopuc Ethernet at regular intervals while users are viewing them.

Address

Enter the point address. For device points, valid address and ranges are described under Toyopuc Ethernet Communications Supported Memory Types.

This communication interface supports the diagnostic points defined in the CIMPLICITY User's Manual under point configuration. In addition, the following diagnostic points may be configured for devices that use this communication interface:

Point Address

Description

Valid Point Types

$CONNECT_STATUS

Shows status of connect

0 = CONNECTED 

1 = NO CONNECTION

SINT, USINT

$AVG_CONNECT_TIME

Average amount of time it took to successfully connect to the device in the last $SAMPLE_CONNECT_SIZE

attempts. (Time unit is in seconds and

fractions of seconds.)

REAL

SAMPLE_CONNECT_SIZE

Number of data values used for average connect time calculation

INT, UINT

$HI_CONNECT_TIME

Longer amount of time to connect to device since the communication enabler was started (Time unit is in seconds and fractions of seconds.)

REAL

$LO_CONNECT_TIME

Smallest amount of time to connect to device since the communication enabler was started (Time unit is in seconds and fractions of seconds.)

REAL

$AVG_READ_TIME 

Average amount of time it took to successfully read from the device in the last $SAMPLE_READ_SIZE

attempts. (Time unit is in seconds and fractions of seconds.)

REAL

$SAMPLE_READ_SIZE

Number of data values used for average read time calculation

INT, UINT

$HI_READ_TIME

Longer amount of time to read from device since the communication enabler was started (Time unit is in seconds and fractions of seconds.)

$LO_READ_TIME

Smallest amount of time to read from the device since the communication enabler was started (Time unit is in seconds and fractions of seconds.)

REAL

$AVG_WRITE_TIME

Average amount of time it took to successfully write to the device in the last

$SAMPLE_WRITE_SIZE attempts. (Time unit is in seconds and fractions of seconds.)

REAL

$SAMPLE_WRITE_SIZE
