System 600 APOGEE Database Dynamos for Intellution's 32-Bit FIX Owner's Manual

4-4 Siemens Building Technologies, Inc.

Description

Alphanumeric explanation of Tag Name displayed in Alarm Summary, Reports, View. You

can use a maximum of 40 alphanumeric characters.

NOTE:

This is the FIX description, not the System 600 APOGEE point descriptor

resident in the System 600 APOGEE field panel.

Start Block on Scan

Scan, Alarm, and Control (SAC) automatically processes all primary blocks that have this box

checked whenever SAC starts or the database is loaded.

Initial Mode

• Automatic - sends/receives data to/from System 600 APOGEE devices.

• Manual - accepts data from the keyboard, another block, or a command script.

NOTE:

This is similar to the System 600 APOGEE concept of points being online or

offline, with online correlating to automatic.

NOTE:

Most primary blocks are set as automatic and secondary blocks as manual.

Scan Time

The interval that determines how often the Scan, Alarm, and Control (SAC) program

processes a block in the process database (PDB).

NOTE:

System 600 APOGEE Blocks do not depend on the SAC Scan Time for

reading and writing block values. This is similar to the function of a FIX PLC
