i.LON SmartServer 2.0 Programmer’s Reference
4-9
Property Description
function to edit the unit strings of data point fields.
<UCPTbaseType>
This read-only property is assigned to the data point
automatically, and is based on the point’s
<UCPTformatDescription>. It defines the base type of the data
point, as defined in the base_type_t enumeration in the
BAS_Controller resource files for the SmartServer.
<UCPTmaxFields>
This property specifies the maximum number of fields that the
data point may have. For scalar and enumerated data point this
property is 0 if the unit string cannot be edited, or it is 1 if the
unit string is editable.
For structured data points, this property is 2 or more based on
the SNVT or UNVT used by the data point. For example, the
default value in <UCPTmaxFields> for a SNVT_switch data
point will be 2 (value and state), and it will be 3 for a
SNVT_setting data point (function, setting, and rotation).
<SCPTmaxSendTime>
This property applies to output data points. It defines the
maximum amount of time that may elapse before the data point
is updated on the network, if it is set to a non-zero value.
For example, if a SNVT_temp value data point is changing by
one degree every 10 seconds and this property is set to two
seconds, the SmartServer will update the value of the data point
on the network every two seconds, even though the value of the
data point is not changing more than once every 10 seconds.
The receiver can use this output as a heartbeat. The receiver
will know something is wrong if he or she does not receive an
update every two seconds.
<SCPTminSendTime>
This property applies to output data points, and defines the
minimum amount of time that may elapse between data point
updates if it set to a non-zero value.
For example, if a SNVT_temp value data point is changing by
one degree every half second and this value is set to two
seconds, the data point will only be updated every two seconds
with the latest value, even though the value changes more
frequently than that.
<SCPTmaxRcvTime>
This property is used to control the maximum time that can
elapse after an update to a bound network input before another
update can occur. If this period elapses without an update, the
<UCPTpointStatus> of the data point will be updated to
AL_OFFLINE. You could create an Alarm Notifier to trigger
an alarm notification when this happens. For more information
on Alarm Notifiers, see Chapter 7,
Alarm Notifier.
The valid range for this property is any value between 0.0 sec
and 6,553.4 seconds. Setting <SCPTmaxRcvTime> to the
default value of 0.0 disables the receive failure mechanism.
<UCPTminValue>
Optional. This value is initially taken from the resource files, if
