Types of status flags
Status is indicated by text on a colored background.
The table lists the status types, illustrates the colors and explains what they mean.
| Type | Default Colors, Example | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| alarm | white text, red background |
Point currently has a value in an alarm range, as defined by property in its alarm extension. |
| fault | black text, orange background |
Originates from a proxy point only. Typically indicates a configuration or licensing error. If it occurs after normal operation, it may indicate a native fault in device, or the point’s parent device has a fault status. |
| overridden | black text, magenta background |
Current point control is from an action, meaning a user-invoked command at either priority level 8 (override) or priority 1 (emergency). |
| disabled | gray text, light gray background |
Originates from a proxy point only. Point (or its parent device or network) has been manually disabled (property enabled = false). |
| down | black text, yellow background |
Originates from a proxy point only. Driver communications to the parent device are currently lost, based upon the device status (Monitor) configuration for that network. |
| stale | black text,
tan background |
Originates from a proxy point only. Driver communications have not received a requested response for this data item within the configured times (Tuning period). |
| null | (no color indication) | Current point control has entered a null state,
vs. a specific value and priority level. Typical to fallback operation
for a writable point. Note: If linking a null status Out
to a simple data slot, the point’s null value is processed.
See the Niagara KitControl Guide for more details. |
| unackedAlarm | (no color indication) | Last point alarm event has not yet received user acknowledgment. Point’s alarm extension uses alarm class requiring acknowledgment. |
