Define the Details, Alarm, and Command Configuration for each Property in an SNMP Object Model

Repeat this procedure for each DPT object model that was added to the Object Model folder of the SNMP library.

  1. In System Browser, select Project > System Settings > Libraries > [L4-Project] or [L3-Country] or [L2-Region] > Global > SNMP > Object Model > [SNMP object model].
  1. Select the Models & Functions tab.
  1. Open the Properties expander and click a property in the Property list.
  • The Details, Alarm Configuration, and Command Configuration expanders for the selected property display on the right.
  1. If the property is one of the following types, configure the expanders as instructed in the relevant linked procedure:
  1. Otherwise, if the property is not one of the above common types, configure the expanders as instructed in the remainder of this procedure.
  1. In the Details expander, define the DPE type, value attributes, and behavior in Desigo CC. Depending on the selected variable type, additional configuration sections may become available.
  • In the General section, select the Type and enter a Description.
    Type indicates the data type Desigo CC uses for the selected DPE. What you can select here strictly depends on the variable defined in the CSV file (for example, if you defined Int, you can choose among the Integer variables available in the configuration).
    Description represents the name that will be assigned to the DPE when created in the configuration.
  • In the Value Attributes section, specify the following:
    - Valid: Set this option to enable the configuration of the options in this section.
    - Min/Max: Enter the minimum and maximum values a DPE can have based on the used variable type.
    - Unit text group (if GmsInt or GmsUint type is used): Define the text group to use for retrieving the measurement unit associated to the value that will be read by SNMP (for example, MHz, W, or Mb). The measurement units are pre-defined in the selected text group.
    - Text group (if GmsEnum type is used): Define the text group to use to associate a specific text to a specific value (read from SNMP) and therefore to have a table for the different SNMP conditions.
    - Unit (available only for Unit Text Group): Select the unit to associate to the DPE from the text group defined in the Unit Text Group.
  • In the Display section, specify the following:
    - Valid: Set this option to enable the configuration of the options in this section.
    - Omit prop. descriptor: Set this option to hide the description of the DPE in all the display levels where the property displays.
    NOTE: This is valid for Default and Event Time Stamp display controls only. It does not work for Priority Array.
    - Display Control: Select how to display the property in all the display levels where the property displays.
    - Icon Library: Select the Icons library to use for the DPE.
    - Default Icon: Select the icon for the DPE. The available icons belong to the selected Icons library.
  • In the Status section, specify the following:
    - Disp. off-normal only: If set, the DPE displays in the Operation tab of the Contextual pane and the Status and Commands window only if its value is different from normal and if the related DL1 and DL2 levels are enabled for this DPE.
    NOTE: You can configure this option only if the Stat property attribute is enabled for the DPE.
    - Normal Value: Enter a value to be considered as normal condition for the previous option. If the property value is different from the defined Normal value, the property will display.
    NOTE: The Normal value can be explicitly defined here (for GmsInt and GmsUint types) or read from a text group (for GmsEnum type).
  1. In the Alarm Configuration expander, define how events are generated in the system based on the property value.
  • Valid: Set this option to enable the configuration of the options in this section.
  • Specify the Alarm Configuration: Define how events are generated based on the values read from a text group (for GmsEnum type), or explicitly defined in the alarm configuration (for GmsInt or GmsUint types).
    IMPORTANT: For SNMP we remind you to always use Management Station alarms. Field System alarms are dedicated to the drivers that support such option.
  • Alarm config. activated: When the events behavior is configured in the Alarm Configuration expander, by setting this option you activate the configuration (the use of the configuration is enabled).
    NOTE: Remember to clear this option if the creation of events in the system must be disabled.
  1. Generally, in the Command Configuration expander it is possible to define the commands (if any) for each DPE and optionally configure from one to three properties from which the commands depends on (Dependency 1, Dependency 2, and/or Dependency 3).
    NOTE: The current version of Desigo CC does not support SNMP commanding.
  1. Repeat steps 4 to 8 above for each property in the list.
