4.6 IAC/Computing Discrete ICP Point
This section of configuration defines a discrete ICP. A discrete ICP is a
set of discrete values used in operator interface displays or by certain
functions in the FST of the controller.
Device v Ċ The device tag name of the controller that is currently being
configured up to 12 characters in length.
Index Ċ The number of this ICP within the controller. The number of
available ICPs for each controller are listed in Table 4Ć9.
Table 4Ć9. Valid Index Numbers for Discrete ICPs.
Controller Quantity of ICPs Valid ICP Index
Computing 4 9 to 12
2-Wide IAC 6 9 to 14
3-Wide Discrete IAC 6 9 to 14
3-Wide Analog IAC 12 9 to 20
4-Wide IAC 12 9 to 20
Description Ċ The description of the point may be up to 16 characters
in length. The first 12 characters will appear on the faceplate display of a
console on the line immediately below the point tag. All 16 characters
may be used on a custom display. Any printable character may be used
in the description.
Strategy Ċ The strategy field is a 12 character text field that can be used
to help group points together. For example, if the plant consists of a
boiler, a reactor, and a tank, the strategy field of each point could be set
to either Boiler", Reactor", or Tank". This data is not checked or
processed in any way, but points can be sorted by the strategy field.
EU Descriptor Ċ Units used for reference if the following engineering
unit conversion values are used for scaling by functions in the FST.
High Scale Value Ċ The value that defines the upper engineering unit
end point to be used for scaling in the FST. Any valid floating point
number is allowed, however, it may not be the same as the Low Scale
Value. This tuning parameter can be changed using DDP #2, EU 100%.
Low Scale Value Ċ The value that defines the lower engineering unit
end point to be used for scaling in the FST. Any valid floating point
number is allowed, however, it may not be the same as the High Scale
Value. This tuning parameter can be changed using DDP #1, EU 0%.
No. Ċ A read-only field displaying the number of the discrete register
within the ICP. There are four sets of discrete values associated with
each discrete ICP.
