Configure Analog Points
Use an EtherNet/IP Analog Point to map an item of data (a tag) in the controller to an analog point in Geo SCADA Expert database. You do this when the tag comprises analog data to enable Geo SCADA Expert to represent that data in the database.
You configure the properties of each analog point using fields on the EtherNet/IP Analog Point Form. The configuration Form contains many fields, organized into tabs. Most of these tabs contain properties that are common to points on many drivers (see Tabs on Point Forms in the Geo SCADA Expert Guide to Advanced Drivers).
This section covers configuration of the analog-specific properties on the Analog Point tab of the Form.
Use the Analog Point tab to:
- Configure the Common Point Properties.
- Configure the Alarm Limits.
- Configure any Alarm Limit Profiles (see Specify any Alarm Limit Profiles in the Geo SCADA Expert Guide to Core Point Configuration).
- Define the Point Scaling.
- Specify the Point Formatting (see Define the Appearance of an Analog Point’s Values in the Geo SCADA Expert Guide to Core Point Configuration).
- Specify the Override Properties (see Define whether an Analog Point can be Overridden in the Geo SCADA Expert Guide to Core Point Configuration).
- Specify the Significant Change Properties (see Define the Criteria for a Significant Change in Value in the Geo SCADA Expert Guide to Core Point Configuration).
- Configure the No Change Properties (see Detect whether an Analog Point has Stopped Changing in the Geo SCADA Expert Guide to Core Point Configuration).
- Specify the Trend Properties (see Define an Analog Point’s Trend Settings in the Geo SCADA Expert Guide to Core Point Configuration).
With each analog point that is to operate as an output point (in order to control plant), you also have to enable and configure the properties on the Control tab. You also use the Control tab to:
