Special functions are used to access a specific value that is unique to a point. The value of the point can then be tested or assigned to other points. Since special functions are maintained by the system, they cannot be manually commanded to a different value. For information on the order in which special functions are evaluated, see the Order of Precedence.

NOTE:
Special functions cannot be used over the network.

PPCL supports the following special functions:

  • Alarm priority (ALMPRI)
  • Totalized value (TOTAL)
