NOTE 1:
The SICLIMAT X system provides APIC references for hierarchy elements and specific data point types only. However the SICLIMAT X APIC reference is used to assign a function during the import. In case of a warning about No matching function for [FunctionName], object: [ObjectName]
, you must manually assign a function to the individual data point in order to use system functions.
NOTE 2 :
When re-importing data, the following changes to the object will be deleted and re-imported with the values from the XML file:
- Changes to the Alarm Configuration
- Changes to the User/Logical Hierarchy
NOTE 3:
On importing a SICLIMAT object, the No alarm on driver invalid check box in the Alarm Configuration section of the Object Configurator tab is selected by default. This ensures that if an alarm is configured on the default value, it is not triggered even if the communication between Desigo CC and the sub-system controller is broken.
