9 As you add Elements, enter the requested information for the integration or CCN points:
Display Text - the name of the point as it will appear in i-Vu CCN (i.e., Frequency)
Reference Base - the name that will be added to each point that makes up the Element, so that all points have a unique identifier (i.e.,input_Freq, trendFreq, output_Freq) - this name must be unique (do not copy and paste)
Input Address - enter the Modbus TCP/IP or CCN address
Define the Modbus TCP/IP or CCN address string using the syntax for each point in the list, as described below:
Input Scaling - enter variables
NOTE Use Scaling when the value you are reading from the Modbus TCP/IP or CCN device needs to be scaled before showing the value on a graphic or trend. Scaling information can be found in the third party points list.
Example: You have an integration point set up to read the motor temperature of a variable speed drive. The third party points list shows that this value will be given in degrees C, but you want to display it in degrees F on a graphic. Therefore, using the formula F = 9/5(C) + 32, the scaling/unit conversion fields for the integration point would be filled out as follows: ([value read] + 0) x 1.8 + 32
Output Address - enter the Modbus TCP/IP or CCN address, as described below.
Output Scaling - enter variables
Continuing the example above, if you wanted the graphic to display values in F, but then you wanted to share that value with the CCN network in C, the scaling for the CCN Passive Point would be:
([value read] + 0) x1 + 0
