Protocol

Valid values are: LON, IAP, ModBus, and BACnet

Device Type

Device type from XIF file (not required for IAP). The device type is defined by a DTD record. Keyed to the PID in the XIF files that are packaged in the DTD.

Datapoint

Fully qualified name as derived from the XIF file including block name, index and datapoint name.
For example: LightSensor/0/nvoLightLevel or TempSensor/0/nvoTemperature

Monitored

Yes or No

Monitoring Method

Event Driven or Polled

Poll Interval

Polling interval for use by the protocol engine.

This parameter is used for all monitored datapoints (not just polled datapoints).

Publish Interval

Publishing interval for use by the protocol engine. Typically this is a multiple of the polling interval. If not a multiple, then the highest multiple that does not exceed the specified interval is used.

Expected Update Interval

Expected average number of seconds between updates. If 0, updates are not expected and included in traffic estimation. You can specify as a fractional value such as 0.5 seconds. Set this parameter to the Min Publish Interval value if the Expected Update Interval is blank and the Min Publish Interval is changed. This value is used for traffic estimation only and does not otherwise impact monitoring.

Publish Min Delta Time

Minimum number of seconds between published values. If 0, then there is no time throttle.

Publish Min Delta Value

Valid values are:

Any – publishes data on any change.
Always – publishes data on every update.
<numeric delta value> – specifies a minimum change from the last published value. For example, if you want a delta value of 6, then enter 6.

Initial Value

For inputs only. Specifies the initial value. If blank, then no initial value.

Provision Initial Value

Yes to write the initial value to the device when the device is provisioned; No to not write the initial value to the device when the device is provisioned.

Log Interval 1
Log Interval 2
Log Interval 3

Sets the data logging intervals. Typically a multiple of the polling interval. If not a multiple, then the highest multiple that does not exceed the specified interval is used.

Log 1 Expected Interval
Log 2 Expected Interval
Log 3 Expected Interval

Sets the expected interval between logged values for Log 1/Log 2/Log 3. The expected interval is only used for calculating estimates of log size growth per day or per year, and does not effect whether or not a value is logged. For a datapoint configured for periodic polling, the default value for the log expected interval is the minimum interval for the log. If an expected interval for a datapoint that has been configured for periodic polling is not set, and the minimum interval for the log is changed, then the CMS will update the default value for the log expected interval to the new minimum interval for the log.

Log Retention 1
Log Retention 2
Log Retention 3

Sets the data retention period (in seconds) for each of the three log intervals.

Log Min Delta Time

Minimum number of seconds between logged values. If 0, then there is no time throttle.

Log Min Delta Value

Valid values are:

Any – logs data on any change.
Always – logs data on every update.
<numeric delta value> – specifies a minimum change from the last published value. For example, if you want a delta value of 6, then enter 6.

Alarm Enabled

Yes or No

Alarm Type Name

If defined, then it appears in the Alarm Type list. 

Alarm Name must be unique across all alarm types and across all device types for handling alarm assignments.

Alarm Details

Alarm description

High Warning
Low Warning

Sets high and low warning limits.

High Error
Low Error

Sets high and low error limits.

Visible

Yes to show datapoints (default); No to hide datapoints. 

Presets

Sets the presets name and value.

Presets should be defined in the Datapoint Properties widget or the DLA file file prior to the deployment of connections. If you configure presets in the Datapoint Properties widget or the DLA file after deploying connections, then different connection results will be produced.

Localization

Sets the localization transformation rules.

Localization should be defined in the Datapoint Properties widget or the DLA file file prior to the deployment of connections. If you configure presets in the Datapoint Properties widget or the DLA file after deploying connections, then different connection results will be produced.

Logged

Yes for logging; No for no logging.

Tags

A list of tags as defined in Datapoint Tags, with each tag specified as <tag name>:<tag value, allowing you to add tag datapoint values that are forwarded to a data analytics application.

Tags parameter is available with SmartServer 3.6 and higher.
