(UniInt) Health Points

UniInt health points are supported by interfaces built with UniInt 4.3.0.0 and later.

Right-click and choose a menu option to work with UniInt health points:

• Choose Create to create the selected point.

• Choose Create All to create all points marked Not Created or Deleted.

• Choose Delete to delete a selected point.

• Choose Delete All to delete all UniInt Health Points, except for the Interfaces Information point.

• Choose Correct to correct a selected point's definition.

• Choose Correct All to correct all points marked Incorrect.

• Choose Rename to specify a new name for the selected point.

• Choose Refresh Snapshots to update the Snapshot column for all points.

• Choose Refresh Table to reload all health points in the table. This will refresh the Tagname column if the interface was moved from one node to another.

If a point already exists, the status is marked Created and the Delete option is enabled. If a point does not exist, the status is marked Not Created or Deleted and the Create option is enabled.

• Status

• The Status column in the Health Points table indicates whether the health point exists.

  • Created

    Indicates that the point does exist

  • Not Created

    Indicates that the point does not exist

  • Deleted

    Indicates that a point existed, but was just deleted by the user

  • Incorrect

    Indicates that the point exists in PI Server, but is not correctly defined

• Tagname

  The Tagname column holds the name of the health point name.

• Type

  The Type column holds the reserved keyword for the specified health point that is written to the extended descriptor (ExDesc) of the health point.

• Scan Class #

  Some health points belong to interface scan classes. For those that do, the Scan Class # column indicates the scan class of the health point.

• UFO ID

  If the interface is configured to use UniInt failover, the Location3 PI point attribute must match the UniInt failover ID configured with the /UFO_ID parameter. For all of the PI points that match the PointSource, id and optionally the /UFO_ID, the ExDesc attribute is searched for a keyword. If the keyword is found, some other PI point attributes may be verified before the point is loaded by the interface.

  Note: If the interface does not support UniInt failover or uses interface-level failover, the Location3 attribute must match the UniInt health point ID configured with the /UHT_ID parameter. This parameter must be configured in the interface-specific page of the PI ICU control.

• PS

  The PS field is the point source of the UniInt health point.

• ID

  This field is the ID and typically contains the Location1 attribute (but sometimes another attribute) for the selected UniInt health point.

• Point Type

  This is the PointType attribute of the UniInt health point.

• Eng Units

  This field is the engineering units of the UniInt health point.

• Snapshot

  If the point exists in PI Server, then the Snapshot column holds the snapshot value for this point.
