SubBatch Active Point (Required)

SubBatch Active Point is the PI point that determines the start and end of a PISubBatch. The SubBatch Active Point can be set either by typing a PI point name or by using the tag search button. The PI point can be of integer, digital, or string type. It is required to specify a SubBatch Active Point to start generating PISubBatches. If this attribute is not specified or the PI point does not exist, then the PISubBatch and its child PISubBatches are not generated. Along with the SubBatch Active Point, the Active Point Behavior option for the selected SubBatch determines how PISubBatches are generated under a PIUnitBatch.

A PISubBatch starts only if the parent PISubBatch is running. The first levels of PISubBatches start only if the PIUnitBatch is running. A PISubBatch ends if either the SubBatch Active Point indicates the end or if the PIUnitBatch ends and does not necessarily end if the parent PISubBatch ends.
