triggered them. Alarms can be configured to shut off automatically when certain
conditions are met, or they can be configured to require manual clearance. You will
create Alarm Generators and Alarm Notifiers to manage these alarming tasks. Table 6
provides a brief description of the functions you can use to do so. These functions are
described in detail in Chapters 7 and 8 of this document.
• Analog Function Blocks – You can use the Analog Function Block application to perform
statistical operations on the values of any of the data points in your network. Table 6
provides a brief description of the functions you can use to do so. These functions are
described in detail in Chapter 9 of this document.
• Scheduling – The i.LON 100 can be used to create daily and weekly schedules, as well as
exception schedules and override schedules. These schedules can drive the inputs to
data points bound to any L
ONWORKS device. You can create Event Schedulers and Event
Calendars to manage these tasks. Table 6 provides a brief description of the functions
you can use to do so. These functions are described in detail in Chapters 10 and 11 of
this document.
• Type Translation – You can use the Type Translator application to translate data from
one network variable data type to another. You will need to create Type Translators,
and optionally Type Translator Rules, to translate your data. Table 6 provides a brief
description of the functions you can use to do so. These functions are described in detail
in Chapters 12 and 13 of this document.
4.2 i.LON 100 XML Configuration Files
As described in Chapter 1, the configurations of each i.LON 100 application is stored in an
XML file. The i.LON 100 contains the following configuration files:
/root/config/software/AlarmGenerator.XML
/root/config/software/AlarmNotifier.XML
/root/config/software/AnalogFB.XML
/root/config/software/EventCalendar.XML
/root/config/software/EventScheduler.XML
/root/config/software/DataLogger.XML
/root/config/software/TypeTranslator.XML
/root/config/software/DataServer/DP_NVL.XML
/root/config/software/DataServer/DP_NVC.XML
NOTE: The /root/config/software directory includes a sub-directory called TranslatorRules,
which contains several XML files you can use when configuring your Type Translators. It
also contains a file called RNI.XML, which contains configuration data used by the i.LON
100 remote network interface (RNI). There is no SOAP interface for the RNI application, and
you should not manually edit the RNI.XML file. You can configure the RNI application using
the i.LON 100 configuration web pages. For more information on this, see the i.LON 100
Internet Server User’s Guide.
Each application inludes a Set function. You can use the Set function to create and write to
the applicable XML file. The i.LON 100 will modify the XML file, and the operating
parameters of the associated application, each time it receives a Set message. The next
section, i.LON 100 SOAP Functions, lists the other functions that can be used with each
application.
