Multistate point subtypes

Multistate points have two possible subtypes: bit patterns and enumeration. This is configured in the Data Format field on the Main tab in the multistate Row Edit dialog box.

• Bit pattern. Similar to status point configuration, except 8 configured bits instead of 2.

• Enumeration. A single analog register reads as a positive integer value. Each possible positive integer value has to have an associated text. If a register is of a floating point type, the system truncates the number to convert it to a decimal. For example, the value 4.997 becomes a 4. If a negative value is received, the value is set to 0.
