Configuring Time (PvssTime)

The following provides the detailed configuration of the Time DPE type.

  1. In the Details expander, specify the following:
  • Type: Select PvssTime.
  • Description: Enter the text you want to view in the various applications for the point instances (for example, SNMP Time Description).
  • Activate the Display configuration and select the Icons library and the Icon (if needed; for example, choose an icon from the Icons library belonging to the Global_Base_HQ_1 library).
  • Define the behavior of the Status flag and the corresponding Normal value (for example, leave Disp. off-normal only unselected so that the property is always displayed).
  1. In the Alarm Configuration expander, check that the alarm configuration is disabled (the corresponding Valid option must be unselected).
    NOTE: The Alarm Configuration settings cannot be used for Time DPE types as Time properties cannot generate events.
