Point State Properties
Use the fields in the States section of the Digital Point tab to define state-related information for the point, such as the handling of state-related alarms by the controller.
Most of the fields within the States section are common to many digital points.
The Number of Bits, defined toward the top of the Form (see Configure Common Digital Point Properties), determines the number of state fields that are available for use.
For further information on configuring state fields, see Define the Point States for a Digital Point.
This field is only displayed if the Area of Interest feature is enabled on your system. Use the field to specify the Area of Interest with which any non-state related point alarms or events are to be associated (see Assign a Different Area of Interest to an Item’s Alarms and Events).
