Echelon LonPoint Application and Plug-In - Manual (Page 129)

The LonPoint Application and Plug-in Guide 10-27
This tab contains four tables that allow you to assign names to each of the 8
analog inputs, 8 digital inputs, and 16 digital outputs, and to define up to 10
system parameters.
Only network variable names that will be used in other tabs need be assigned;
the other names may be blank. These network variable names are used only
within the LonPoint Schedule Maker utility to provide meaningful names for the
network variables when used in exit condition definitions. They have no
meaning within other applications such as the LonMaker tool, the LonMaker
Browser, or the LonPoint plug-in. By default, these other applications will use
the input and output names shown in the left column of the input and output
tables, for example, “D1”, “A1”, and “D_Out_1”.
The System Parameters table allows you to define up to 10 constants which
may be used in the Edit Conditions tab. The values of these constants can be
modified either in this tab or by using the LonPoint Schedule Keeper utility (see
Chapter 11).
To assign names to the input and output network variables and system
parameters, follow these steps:
1. Select the Name I/O tab.
2. Click the D1 input name field if your design includes any digital inputs.
3. For each digital input defined in your Digital Inputs shape, enter the digital
input name and press Enter.
4. Click the A1 input name field if your design includes any analog inputs.
5. For each analog input defined in your Analog Inputs shape, enter the analog
input name and press Enter.
6. Click the D_Out_1 output name field if your design includes any digital
outputs.
7. For each digital output defined in your Digital Outputs shape, enter the
digital output name and press Enter.
8. Click the first field in the System Parameters table if you wish to define one
or more system parameters.
9. For each system parameter you wish to define, enter the name (which may
contain only letters, digits, and the underscore character) and the initial
value for the constant. The system parameters defined here will be available
under Analog Inputs in the Edit Conditions tab.
