Use the fields at the top of the <Point> tab on the appropriate IEC 60870-5 KEMA Point Form to configure the general properties of a point. The properties described below are common to points on IEC 60870-5 KEMA outstations:
- In Service—Use to specify whether a point is active or inactive (see Placing an Item In Service in the ClearSCADA Guide to Core Configuration).
- Confirm Disable/Enable—Users with the required permissions can disable a point that is In Service, or enable a point that is not In Service. These actions are carried out using the Disable Point and Enable Point pick actions.
- Use the Confirm Disable/Enable combo box to specify whether a confirmation dialog box is displayed whenever an operator requests that this point is disabled or enabled, (see Requesting Confirmation of Action Requests in the ClearSCADA Guide to Core Configuration).
- Outstation—Specify the KEMA outstation on which the point is located. Use the browse button to display a Reference browse window, and choose the required KEMA outstation entry.
- Severity—Use this combo box to define the severity of any non-state events or alarms for the point.
- For more information on severities, see Defining Severities in the ClearSCADA Guide to Core Configuration.
