4Ć171Target Data Configuration
Original Ć June 1990 CE4.2:CL6211
Current? Ċ This field is set to YES if the device specified by the
configuration Device on the same row is in the current target device
group. A target device group is composed of all of the PROVUEs,
controllers, and CHIPs that have the same Reporting Mode, Sample
Interval and Dead zone, and within the device type have the same field
values (other than DBI or index values). A target device group may
consist of up to 32 devices.
Generally, if YES appears next to a device in the Device field on any set
of the targeting forms, then the data currently displayed applies to that
device. Any change to a target value affects all devices in the Device
field marked as YES. This is a readĆonly field, which was defined on the
TARGET DATA form.
Device Ċ This refers to the name of the device to which the point is to
be targeted. This is a scrolled list of all the devices to which the point is
being targeted.
Deadzone Ċ Identifies the amount, in percent of span, by which an
analog value must change since it was last reported before the value will
be transmitted over the highway if the Reporting Mode is set to
Exception. Valid entries for this field are 0.03124, 0.0625, 0.125, 0.25,
0,5, 1, 2, and 4.
Index Ċ This is the numeric value given to this point in the target device.
This is called DBI for PROVUE, Relative DBI in the UOC/IFC, and DBI in
CHIP.
PPA Ċ Identifies the Plant Process Area (PPA) that this point is to be a
member of. This point should be placed into a PPA with other points that
are to use the same alarm strategy. All points in the PPA will be grouped
into the same Plant Management Areas (PMAs).
Reporting Mode Ċ Determines, along with the DEADZONE and
SAMPLE INTERVAL, how often (frequently) a particular point will send
data over the highway to the devices in the current target group. Valid
choices for this field are:
H CHANGE OF STATE Ċ ChangeĆofĆState reporting communicates the
point's operating data immediately if an alarm state has changed, without
waiting for the end of a point's Sample Interval.
H PERIODIC Ċ Periodic reporting communicates the point's operating
data at the end of its Sample Interval regardless of whether any of the
point's operating parameters has changed by more than the Dead zone
value.
H EXCEPTION Ċ Exception reporting communicates the point's operating
data at the end of its Sample Interval if one of the point's operating
parameters has changed by more than the Dead zone value, or if the
point's refresh period has transpired.
BACKGROUND and EXCEPTION, NO REFRESH are not valid.
