Property Value Description
Field Name text Defines this point’s name (8 ASCIIcharacters).

Fid IO_Points Tables have up to 64 points.

To modify each point name, change it from the Property Sheet and invoke the Fetch action.

Point Data Type read-only Configures the point’s data type (00 – 33H).
Data Type Enum read-only Configures a point’s data type enumeration.

  • 1, "unsignedChar"
  • 2, "unsignedInt"
  • 6, "BEST_FloatingPoint"

Display Type read-only Configures the type of display for each point from the device.

true selects metric units.

false selects imperial units.

The database stores all device data values in imperial. The driver does not use this property, but instead uses the global property on the CcnNetwork Config tab named Display Metric.

Display Digits read-only Configures the point’s display digit requirements. The upper nibble is the number of digits to the left of the decimal, and the lower nibble is the number of digits to the right of the decimal.

For dataType 0 (eightBitFlags), the upper nibble specifies the number of usable bits in the byte (right to left).

The driver displays this value in decimal and must be converted to hexadecimal to be interpreted (for instance a 97 decimal is a 61 hex). Thus, up to six digits display to the left of the decimal and one digit to the right.

Field Byte Count read-only Reports the point’s byte count in the table value block.
Discrete Text Offset read-only Reports the point’s discrete text offset if its discrete flag is set.
Config Flags read-only Reports the point’s config flags. Valid values are:

bit 0 – this point has a low limit

bit 1 – this point has a high limit

bit 7 – this point is a discrete point

The driver displays this value in decimal, which must be converted to hexadecimal to be interpreted. For instance, a 128 decimal is an 80 hex and, thus, is a discrete point that does not have a low or high limit. Another common value, a 125 decimal is an 83 hex and, thus, is a discrete point that does have a low and high limit.

Units read-only Reports the point’s value in integer units.
Units Enum read-only Reports the point’s enumeration value in integer units.
Value Block read-only Reports the point’s value block assignment.
Value Block Offset read-only Reports the point’s value block offset assignment.
Lo Limit read-only Reports the point’s lo limit value.
Lo Limit read-only Reports the point’s lo limit block assignment.
Lo Limit Block Offset read-only Reports the point’s lo limit block offset assignment.
Hi Limit read-only Reports the point’s hi limit value.
Hi Limit Block read-only Reports the point’s hi limit block assignment.
Hi Limit Block Offset read-only Reports the point’s hi limit block offset assignment.
Variable No read-only Reports the point’s variable number (only applies to points under 11H, 12H, and 501H tables).
Description read-only Reports the point’s 24-character description.
Forceable Flag read-only Reports the point’s flags that can be forced.

This value is false for a CcnInput and a CcnNonForceableOutput.

This value is true for a CcnOutput if the point is in a 11H, 12H, or 501H table type, the point has a Hi Limit value and the point has a non-zero Variable No. CcnOutput’s with a Forceable Flag.

Force and Auto commands can set this value to true.

This value is false for a CcnOutput (otherwise).

The Set command can write a Ccn Output value with a Forceable Flag set to false.

Device Type number Assigns a numeric value to represent the device.
 NOTE: This property is not used. It is meant for the FID device. 
Ctrl Sens Type number Assigns a numeric value.
 NOTE: This property is not used. It is meant for the FID device.
