Point Processing Limits
If you want alarms to be generated when the PVs of analog points reach an
unreasonably high or unreasonably low value, you need to:
1 Use the High limit and the Low limit fields (Unreasonable value) on the
Point Processing tab of the Alarm & Point Processing display to specify the
high and the low limit values, expressed as a percentage of the point range.
2 Enable unreasonable value alarms by specifying an alarm priority for
Unreasonable Value in the Quick Builder Alarm property sheet (as described
in “Alarm Properties for Status Points” on page 156).
PV Clamp Values for Analog Points
If you want to implement PV clamp values, you can use the PV Clamp field for
High Limit and Low Limit on the Point Processing tab of the Alarm & Point
Processing display to specify the high and low clamping limits.
The values are entered as a percentage of the point range. The value of the point
will be clamped between the high and low limit (see “Clamp Point” on page 128).
Understanding Internal Point Numbers
The maximum number of status, analog, accumulator and other points you can
create is determined by the size of your database. (For details of database sizing
and the default allocation of the maximum number of points within types, refer to
the Installation Guide.)
When you download point data from Quick Builder to the server database, each
point is assigned a unique point number in the range from 1 to 65000. These
numbers are used to uniquely identify points within the server. They are internal
numbers that are not displayed in Quick Builder.
