About kitControl
The kitControl palette contains various components that you can use in combination with points, both simple control points and proxy points. Whereas proxy points read (and possibly write) data from (and to) remote devices, kitControl components provide the data manipulation building blocks that let you further process point data. Included are HVAC components like a PID loop and sequencers, a variety of Boolean logic components, math components for numeric values, and miscellaneous components. Together with proxy points and schedules, kitControl components provide the basic set of the common components for modeling control logic.
The usage of kitControl components is entirely optional. It is possible to build a monitoring-type application with only proxy points (and perhaps a few simple control points). This would allow real-time data monitoring, plus user-invoked action overrides through writable points’ right-click command menus. As needed, you could also add extensions to the proxy points for alarming and history collections.
