Use the fields at the top of the <Point> tab on the appropriate IEC 60870-5 KEMA Point Form to configure the general properties of a point. The properties described below are common to points on IEC 60870-5 KEMA outstations:
- In Service—Use to specify whether a point is active or inactive (see Placing an Item In Service in the Geo SCADA Expert Guide to Core Configuration).
- Confirm Disable/Enable—Users with the required permissions can disable a point that is In Service, or enable a point that is not In Service. These actions are carried out using the Disable Point and Enable Point pick actions.
- Use the Confirm Disable/Enable combo box to specify whether a confirmation dialog box is displayed whenever an operator requests that this point is disabled or enabled, (see Requesting Confirmation of Action Requests in the Geo SCADA Expert Guide to Core Configuration).
- Outstation—Specify the KEMA outstation on which the point is located. Use the browse button to display a Reference browse window, and choose the required KEMA outstation entry.
- Severity—Use this combo box to define the severity of any non-state events or alarms for the point.
- For more information on severities, see Defining Severities in the Geo SCADA Expert Guide to Core Configuration.
