System digital state set

The System digital state set is the default set for Data Archive. It contains over 300 pre-defined digital states that may apply to any point. Examples are Point Created (Pt Created), I/O Timeout, No Data and Archive Offline, Over Range and Under Range. Use the Digital States tool to verify that the System digital state set is up to date.

We recommend that you keep changes to the digital state set to a minimum. Add additional digital states when directed to do so by documentation, or by a Technical Support Engineer. You can also translate the states into another language without changing their meaning.

Note: Digital points should use a custom digital state, not the System digital state set. You do not need to include system states in custom digital states because the system states contained in the System State Set are used where needed by Data Archive.

Note: To see the defined digital state sets in SMT, open SMT and select Points > Digital States > SYSTEM.

Note: You may also use piconfig using the commands: @tabl pistate, @ostr *, @ends. If you use piconfig, it does not tell you which digital set uses what state (a single state can belong to many digital sets). Also note that digital sets are not the same as digital states. If you want to find out the list of digital sets in the system using piconfig, use the following commands: @tabl pids, @ostr *, @ends.
