Point Types
The CygNet Standard Point Scheme has eight point types: Analog Input/Output, Digital Input/Output, Enumeration Input/Output, and String Input/Output. There is no functional difference between an input point type and an output point type.
| Point Type | Description |
|---|---|
|
Analog |
An analog point is a point for which the value is a floating-point number. The value of an Analog Input point can be scaled. |
|
Digital |
A digital point is a point for which the value is either 0 or 1. The digital value can be converted to a string. |
|
Enumeration |
An enumeration point is a point for which the point’s value is an integer converted into a string. The conversion values are defined in a table stored in the Table Reference Service. The table name and its entries are user-defined. Any number of enumeration points can use the same conversion table. |
|
String |
A string point is a point for which the value is alphanumeric. |
