| Name |
Description |
| Point Name |
Type a name of the function block or use the default
names given by the tool. |
| Point Type |
Constant is the default selection.
You can select Constant, Network Input, Network
Setpoint, Binary Input or Modulating Input to
change the point type. |
| Point Category |
Displays the unit of measurement for the Point Type.
|
| Unit |
Displays the engineering unit based on the Point
Category. |
| Sub-Category |
Displays the enumeration type for the software
points. The field Unit is renamed as Sub-Category if the
point category selection is unitless. |
| Advanced |
Displays the BACnet object details. Object
Name, Object Type, Object Instance are the
fields provided. Object Name is automatically provided by the tool and
can be edited. Object Instance number can also be edited. Object
Type is a read only field and cannot be edited. |
| OK |
Saves the entered information and closes the dialog
box. |
| Cancel |
Closes the dialog box. Any information entered is
lost. |
Note: You can drag IOs on to the wiresheet even when all pins are used up.
Honeywell Spyder allows IOs to be dropped but they are not assigned with a pin. Such IOs
are termed as invalid IOs. A message indicating that the IO does not get a pin is
displayed.
Note: You can add a Constant to a macro.

| Constant |
Network Input |
- Right-click the Network input block and select Configure
Properties.
- Select Constant from the Point Type list.
- Select a Point Category.
- Click OK.
|
- If the Functional block slot to which the point was connected was
of type Constant/Connector, the slot is converted from Constant
type to Connector but the link is retained.
- If the functional block slot to which the point was connected was
of type Connector only, the link is broken.
- A network input is created and added to the Objects table in the Object
Configuration View.
|
| Constant |
Network Setpoint |
- Right-click the Network input block and select Configure
Properties.
- Select Network Setpoint from the Point
Type list.
- Select a Point Category.
- Click OK.
|
- If the Functional block slot to which the point was connected was
of type Constant/Connector, the slot is converted from Constant
type to Connector but the link is retained.
- If the Functional block slot to which the point was of type Constant
only, the link is broken.
- A new setpoint input is created and added to the Objects table in
the Object Configuration View.
|
| Constant |
Binary Input |
- Right-click the Network input block and select Configure
Properties.
- Select Binary Input from the Point Type list.
- Select Type.
- Select Data Type.
- Click OK.
|
- If the Functional block slot to which the point was connected was
of type Constant/Connector, the slot is converted from Constant type
to Connector but the link is retained.
- If the Functional block slot to which the point was of type Constant
only, the link is broken.
- The resulting physical IO object (Binary input in this case) gets
any free IO pin available. If no pin is available, the resulting physical IO becomes an
invalid IO (IO with no pin).
|
| Constant |
Modulating Input |
- Right-click the Network input block and select Configure
Properties.
- Select Modulating Input from the Point
Type list.
- Select Type.
- Select Data Type.
- Click OK.
|
- If the Functional block slot to which the point was connected was
of type Constant/Connector, the slot is converted from Constant type
to Connector but the link is retained.
- If the Functional block slot to which the point was of type Constant
only, the link is broken.
- The resulting physical IO object (Modulating input in this case)
gets any free IO pin available. If no pin is available, the resulting physical IO becomes
an invalid IO (IO with no pin).
