Appendix A
Device and Point Types
Each point in the 4010 has both a hardware device type and a software point
type. The hardware device type is determined by the hardware used. This is
used to determine what physical states exist for the point. The hardware device
type also determines the valid software point types that can be assigned to a
point.
The software point type defines which "banner" and "status" is used in
displaying a point when it changes state on the display or is logged to the
historical log. The software point type, especially for output points, also defines
the default application programming. For example a NAC with a point type of
SSIGNAL indicates that the signal circuit activates on alarm until silence.
This chapter describes the Hardware Device and Software Point Types available
with the 4010. For more information on Analog, Digital, List, and 24-Point I/O
point types, refer to "Appendix B. Hardware and Pseudo Points" in this
