Associated with: Channels, outstations and points on the TBox driver.
The Source attribute is common to many Status displays. The attribute indicates the location at which the item resides. The information shown varies, depending on the item.
The Source attribute displays the value Undefined if the item’s configuration is incomplete, in so far as the device with which the item is associated has not yet been specified.
For TBox outstations, information is displayed in this format:
Set <Set Address>:OS <Outstation Address>.<Sub Address>
Example:
Set 2:OS 5.6
(For an outstation with an address of 5 and a sub address of 6, in the set that has an address of 2.)
ForTBox points, information is displayed in this format, where the items in square brackets are optional:
Set <Set Address>:OS <Outstation Address>.<Sub Address>:<Point Type> [Historic Type] Address <Point Address> [Bits <Number of bits>]
Example:
Set 2:OS 5.6:AIP Max Address 30001
(For a Historical Analog Point of type Maximum with a parent Analog Input Point located at point address 30001, on the outstation that has an address of 5 and sub address of 6. The outstation is in the set that has an address of 2.)
For a Digital Input or Digital Output point, the information is appended by the number of bits.
Example:
Set 2:OS 5.6:DIP Address 10001 Bits 1
(For a 1-bit Digital Input point located at point address 10001, on the outstation that has an address of 5 and sub address of 6. The outstation is in the set that has an address of 2.)
The Source attribute displays the type of TBox point using these abbreviations:
| Abbreviation | Type of Point |
|---|---|
|

AOP |
Analog Output Point |
|
DIP |
Digital Input Point |
|
DOP |
Digital Output Point |
| String | String Point |
| AIP or AOP | Historical Analog Point |
| Min or Max or Mean | Historical Analog Point types |
