Point Mappings

Business Object Point Mappings provide a native object (internal SCADA data model) mapping for every abstract attribute of the external Enterprise data model.

Point Interface definitions are mapped to the internal SCADA data model. The Point Mapping definition must include the following.

• The target Point Definition Interface name
• A native SCADA attribute for every Point Definition Interface attribute (i.e. map the interface's "unreliable" attribute to the native SCADA "Config Bit 15")
