Using the Point Editor Application
Creating a Point for Panel on ALN or UEC/PANEL on FLN
CAUTION
All point names on ALN level devices must be unique. Do not create two or more
points with the same name in two or more different panels, especially if that point
name is to be referenced in PPCL. To verify that a point name has not been used, run
a Point Log Report. See the
Point Log Report section for more information.
1. Select the Point icon from the Create/Edit bar.
 The Point Editor window will open.
2. If available panels/devices are not displayed, click Select a Device at the top of the
left pane of the Point Editor window to display available panels/devices.
3. Select the desired device. To select a UEC/PANEL on FLN, click the arrows next to
the supervising panel name and next to its FLN name, and then click the
UEC/PANEL device name in the left pane of the Point Editor window.
4. Click the plus button at the bottom left of the Point Editor window.
 A new point creation window opens, prompting you to enter the new name and
choose the new point type:
NOTE:
UEC point names longer than 12 characters will not fit into the supervising panel’s
APPLICATION description’s System Name. The supervising panel’s APPLICATION
description’s System Name will be truncated to use the BACnet encoding scheme.
For example, a UEC device reference named
Building1.UEC with an analog input (AI)
point, instance number 15, entered as
WestWing.Room219.Temp will have a System
Name of
Building1.UEC:AI_15.
If you enter a UEC point name greater than 12 characters, a red box displays around
the Point Name field, along with warning hover text. A warning icon and hover text
also display for that object in the object list.
5. Click Create.
 The point information window displays a new point.
6. Enter the new point information.
7. Click Save.
