Determine if Point and Alarm Identifiers will be Identified by their Display or Internal Representations
Point and alarm ids can be represented either by an internal identifier or by using a display name configured in the application.
Application designers can choose the format in which the data is to be provided by the device communication interface.
Note: Using the internal identifier is more efficient and is recommended.
Functions and macros are provided to convert the internal name to the display name, where required, such as storing the information in an external system or in logging error messages for an end user.
