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.
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 |

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.) |
