In TriStation, physical I/O is configured to a physical chassis with alias numbers that range from 1 to 49999. Although other memory points can be cross referenced, the Automatic Cross-Reference Generation Tool will not include non-physical I/O points.
Review the Data Type to determine if a Tagname is an analog or a digital point.
Note: In TRISIM, Digital points are type BOOLEAN and can have the value of 1 / 0 or TRUE / FALSE. Integer points are classified as type Analog.
