AC configuration panel
The table in the main panel shows the key data for the AC types in one view (provided that you have already created any) as follows:
-
Data point type: Contains the names of all data point types.
-
Compression type : Is Compression
-
Compression from - to: Specifies the first and last compression interval.
-
Steps : Contains the number of created compression levels.
The panel contains by default the data point types required for the standard objects (see Standard symbols).
This panel contains the following buttons:
-

-
Configuration(or double-click on the required type)
Opens the relevant configuration window for setting specific parameters for the type selected (see also further on).
-
New DPT
Creates a new data point type (AC type). The name and data type must be defined in the dialog box. The source of the data point elements is the "value" element of the data points created. The compression levels are calculated on the basis of this value. The driver parameters must be set to match this element. Analog and digital data point types are permissible.
-
Remove DPT
If AC type has been selected, then the data point type and all data points for this type are deleted and removed from the table. You are prompted to confirm the deletion.
