Manage digital states with the Digital States tool

Use the Digital States tool to view, create, edit, and delete digital states on a Data Archive server. Digital states translate numeric PI point values into string data and allow you to associate PI points with a discrete status or state. For example, you can create PI points to monitor the temperature of a tank and configure those points to show a state of Red for temperatures exceeding 120 degrees, Green for temperatures below 88 degrees, and Yellow for temperatures between 88 and 120 degrees.

The points that reflect digital states are known as digital points. They are organized into groups known as digital state sets.

The Digital States tool displays digital state sets for each connected Data Archive. Connected servers and collectives are listed in the pane to the right of the Data Archive list and list associated digital state sets under each respective server nodes. The types of digital state sets are: system, built-in, and custom.
