Configuring Point Monitor
NOTE:
This application and its sub-features are only available with the PXM10S module.
The Point Monitor allows you to select the points you frequently need to monitor and
allows quick access to view a point status. This concept is similar to a Favorites list.
The maximum number of points listed and stored in Point Monitor is 10. You cannot
add more points to the Point Monitor once you reach the maximum number.
Reset/clear the Point Monitor of stored points and then add the desired set of 10 or
fewer points you want to monitor.
NOTE:
Depending on user access rights, previously added points (by other users) to the
Point Monitor may not be visible. In this situation you can’t see or add any points in
Point Monitor. If this happens, you must first reset the Point Monitor to purge the old
information. This affects all users. While Point Monitor information can’t be retrieved,
the field panel database is not affected.
