CIMPLICITY2. PID: Object Properties
Open an Object Properties dialog box for an object with an PID class ID.
The tabs in the Object dialog box are:
- PID General.
- PID HMI Properties.
PID General
The Object dialog box General tab provides data that precisely identifies the PID object.
Note: The Description field is the only Read/Write field on the General tab.
PID HMI Properties
Each PPS function block has HMI properties.
When an Object dialog box is opened for a selected object, the values for these properties:
- Can be defined in the Object dialog box.
- Will display on the faceplate when it is first opened and as long as they are not changed.
- (Some properties) May be changed by faceplate users who have a role with the required level.
The HMI properties required for the PID block are as follows.
| HMI Properties | Description | Data Type | Restrictions |
| Label | Object description. | String | |
| OP Precision | Number of digits displayed to the right of the decimal point. | Integer | 7 Digits |
| PV and SP Precision | Number of digits displayed to the right of the decimal point. | Integer | 7 Digits |
| Resource | CIMPLICITY resource. | String | 16 Characters or less |
| OP Engineering Units | Output Variable Engineering units. | String | 8 Characters or less |
| PV Engineering Units | Process Variable Engineering units. | String | 8 Characters or less |
| Faceplate OP PB Rate | The rate at which the output increments/decrements in Manual Mode when a mouse clicks on the Adjust OP buttons. | REAL | Greater than or equal to 0.0 |
| Faceplate SP PB Rate | The rate at which the setpoint increments/decrements in Local Mode when a mouse clicks on the Adjust SP buttons. | REAL | Greater than or equal to 0.0 |
| Animation Criterion | The percentage of the full range of OP that must be exceeded by OP to Indicate that the Valve/Damper is open. | Real | Greater than or equal to 0.0 |
