Data
point type |
Description |
_AcStructure |
Archiving/Compression.
The parameters of set compressions of AC types are saved in an
internal data point of type _AcStructure |
_AlertClass |
Alert
classes. There is an own internal data point type to communicate
easier with the alert classes, which are addressed via a data
point variable. WinCC OA
provides five alert classes by default. These alert classes are
configured as _alert_class configs in the internal data point
types. |
_AlertSaveRestore |
Data
backup in WinCC OA.
The names of the target directories are kept for management of
stored data, the name of the source directory when importing ,
the limits of the time interval during which the data is contained
in the directory, status bits for improvement of the import
process and other similar things- all this information is saved
in internal data points. _AlerSaveRestore contains the settings
for the alarm history. |

can be subject to cyclic handling per data point element. You
can for example define that the data of an element is exported
at specific intervals. This way system resources are released
without loosing data for later analyses. |
_DataSet |
Data
backup in WinCC OA.
The stored data of the value history, which is available for WinCC OA, is saved in chronological
sorted data sets. This is made clear by the directory names which
are assigned automatically. In order to administer data sets you
can register when the last change of a data set took place, whether
data sets are swapped out or deleted etc. |
_DiskSpaceCheck |
Online
Backup. There is data point of type _DiskSpaceCheck for each
hard disk that should be included in the check. The associated
DP _ArchiveDisk or _ArchivDisk_2 is created as standard. The configuration
takes place via the panels for monitoring
the hard disk. |

panels. Panels that are opened via another panels can also
be printed. This means that the panels can be printed with all
opened child panels. The command for printing is executed via
a panel by sending a data point. |
_PTPanelOn |

and allows the system to change the settings of the driver at
runtime. |
_RootPanel |
panel.ctl
In order to open and close panels all elements of the concerned
internal data point within a dpSet()
command have to be assigned. For root panel these data
points are _RootPanelOrigOn (Opening in original size) and _RootPanelOn
(opening in size of the existing panel) |

driver. You can create simulator data points with the aid
of the internal data point type _Simulator. WinCC OA already contains
three predefined data points _Simulator_1, _Simulator_2 and _Simulator_3.
The name of the simulation file can be defined on the FileName..original
leaf. |
_SSI_Alive |
SSI
driver . The data points have to be named _SSI_Alive_<num>.
<num> indicates the driver number. The alive
monitoring between KE/ET and driver is realized via pulse
commands. |
_SSI_DaDf |
SSI
driver . The assignment between data formats and data types
is defined in the data point _SSI_DaDf_Table. The data point has
32 leaves of type unsigned for the different data types. Not allocated
data types have the initialization value -1. |
_SSI_ImpulseType |
SSI
driver . The switch time can be defined in two ways. A switch
time within the system, which is used for all commands, will
be sufficient for the most commands. If other switch times should
be configured for single commands, these can be configured in
the data point _SSI_Impulse_Times (the data point contains a dynamic
field of bit patterns which allow the definition of desired switch
times)the easiest way is to define the time in the pulse time
panel of the peripheral address panel. |
_SSI_SysAll |
SSI
driver . It might be necessary to send a message to all system
components (target component number 255). For this case there
is an internal data point (and it has the type _SSI_SysAll) which
is assigned to the component 255 and which has data point leaves
for the outgoing messages. Each driver supports two data points
of this type. The first is called _SSI_ALL_<KE/ET region number>_<KE/ETcomponent
number> and is assigned to the driver that is connected with
the specified KE/ET. The second is called _SSI_ALL_255_255
and is used by all SSI drivers in the system. |
_SSI_SysMgm |
SSI
driver. Incoming messages are intercepted by the driver because
of the data format (0 for system and 100 for sorting messages)and
are represented on the leaves of a component specific internal
data point (of type _SSI_SysMsg) of WinCC OA.
Such data point has to be created for each component in the system.
The name of the data point is composed of the region number and
of the component number |
_Statistics_Connections |
WinCC OA messages . The
data point type _Statistics_Connections is composed of counters
(leaves). The leaves contain the amount of the messages that were
sent in the last interval (SndTotal) and the amount of messages
that were received (RcvTotal) as well as the total number of messages.
By default, data points are intended for messages between event
0 and 4 CTRL manager, 4 user interfaces, 4 drivers, 1 dist manager,
1 data manager, 1 redu manager and 2 events (0, 128). For further
driver or UIs additional DPs have to be created. |
_Statistics_DataConfig |
WinCC OA messages. The
event manager, the data manager and all drivers write the number
of configs which they administer into a data point of type _Statistics_<Man>Configs
, for example, _Statistics_Configs_Event_0. If a config or a DP
is created, the change is saved in the data point first when the
interval of the leaf SecsToRefresh has expired. This data point
contains only the _archive config. |
_Statistics_DriverConfigs |
WinCC OA messages. The
event manager, the data manager and all drivers write the number
of configs which they administer into a data point of type _Statistics_<Man>Configs
, for example, _Statistics_Configs_Event_0. If a config or a DP
is created, the change is saved in the data point first when the
interval of the leaf SecsToRefresh has expired. This data point
contains the elements _address, _cmd_conv, _msg_conv, _smooth.
These elements are relevant for the driver. |
_Stat_event_0 |
The data point
element saves the total performance (the amount of all Event
Manager connections) per message. |
_Statistics_EventConfigs |
WinCC OA messages. The
event manager, the data manager and all drivers write the number
of configs which they administer into a data point of type _Statistics_<Man>Configs
, for example, _Statistics_Configs_Event_0. If a config or a DP
is created, the change is saved in the data point first when the
interval of the leaf SecsToRefresh has expired. Furthermore, the
number of DPs and DPTs is stored here. |
_Statistics_Msg |
WinCC OA messages. The
data point type _Statistics_Msg contains the possible message
categories. |
_Statistics_Refresh |
WinCC OA messages. The
data point type _Statistics_Refresh contains the data point _Statistik_Connections_Refresh
with the element SecondsToRefresh. |
_SumAlertGeneral |

topology/Group alerts. Contains the configurations of the
priority ranges as well as the fixed parameters of the future
group alerts. |
_SumAlertPanel |
Panel
topology/Group alerts. Contains the configurations of the
priority ranges as well as the fixed parameters of the future
group alerts. A data point with all priority ranges is created
for each panel in the topology. The naming of the DP looks like
following "Panelname" + _1 |
_System |

and an authorization code in WinCC OA.
|
_ValueArchive |
History
DB The archive parameters are administered as elements
of the archive data point (_ValueArchiv). There are pure parameters
and actions. Only the archive is notified of the parameters. Actions
trigger procedures in the archive process. These are then reported
via other DPEs of the archive data point. This chapter describes
the "simple" archive parameters. |
