Details on AC configuration

CAUTION:

These datapoint types must only be changed using the configuration panels described before, otherwise inconsistencies will arise!

Internal datapoint _AcStructure

The parameters of the AC type compressions are saved in an internal datapoint of type _AcStructure. The datapoint elements have the following meaning:

Table: Meaning of the datapoint elements

Element name Type Meaning
general.intervals dyn_int all predefined intervals in the seconds format.
types.actype dyn_bool TRUE if the datapoint type was created with the compression configuration panel.
types.applied dyn_bool TRUE if the parameters of the datapoint type have been assigned to all datapoints.
types.archives dyn_string Name of the archive used
types.exceptions dyn_ string List of the datapoints that are not meant to assume the parameter settings.
types.functions dyn_ string The statistical functions set at the compression levels.
types.intervals dyn_ int The time interval of the compression levels in seconds.
types.names dyn_ string Name of the datapoint type created in the compression configuration.
types.sources dyn_ string Source for the statistical function.
types.vartypes dyn_ int 0 = digital / 1 = analog.

All datapoint leaves of the node "types" have the same number of elements; each AC type has a line in the dyn fields.

Structure of the AC datapoint types

The datapoint types created in these configuration panels (AC types) have a permanently defined structure containing fixed structure elements and variable structure elements defined by the configuration.

.value always exists. This element takes the source values.

.C1.MIN, for example, contains the statistical function Minimum for compression level 1. The name of the end leaves is always the same as the statistical functions used. Level 1 (C1) uses either the leaf .value as source or has the pseudo-function "MAN" (manual input). Level 3 uses the values from level 1 or 2 for its source.

For manual input, the value is set manually via the Laboratory Values panel (see Laboratory values panel).
