States of objects

States of objects

D2000 CfgSynchro - states of object

1.  Possible states of objects and their graphical representation

State

Graphical representation

Description

None

 

 

New

A new object. There is no such object in the other database with the same UID, or it may have existed there but it was deleted

Deleted

The object has been deleted

Modified

The object has been modified

Constant

The object has not been modified



2.  All possible combinations of objects' states
(A - configuration database A, B - configuration database B)

State of A

State of B

Object's state description

New

None

A new object in A.

New

Deleted

The object was deleted in B. It then appears in A as a new one.

Constant

Constant

The object exists in both databases without a change.

Constant

Modified

The object exists in both databases. Time of the configuration's change in B is greater than in A. The object was modified in B.

Modified

Constant

The object exists in both databases. Time of the configuration's change in A is greater than in B. The object was modified in A .

 

 

 

Deleted

None

Object was created in A and was deleted afterwards.

Deleted

Deleted

Object was deleted in A as well as in B.

Deleted

New

Object was deleted in A. It then appears in B as a new one.

 

 

 

None

New

A new object in B.

 

 

 

None

Deleted

Object was created in B and was deleted afterwards.

 

 

 

Modified

Modified

The time of configuration's change is same, but a difference in * start values was detected or in state of blocking alarms,...

* During a normal run of an application changes in configuration databases are performed due to changes in properties of objects that can be done by means of process D2000 CNF as well without changing the time of object's configuration. The following table shows the list and description of these settings:

Type of object

Changed property

Description

Eval tag

Blocking of process alarms

Blocking of process alarms

I/O tag

Blocking of process alarms

Blocking of process alarms

Default input value
To use default input value
To control input value manually
To control output value manually
Start value

Controlling of default values

Structured variable

Change of structure definition
Change of start value of any item of the structure

 

Switch

Blocking of process alarms

Blocking of process alarms

Change of default value

 

User variable

Change of start value

 

User

Password

Change of password in D2000 HI process.

Note: Start values are altered when object's value changes (or the fields of a structured variable) if saving of start values is set.


3.  All possible mutual combinations of objects' states - graphical overview

It is worth pointing out to the fact that the table is symmetric by the diagonal leading from the top left-hand corner to the bottom right-hand corner.
