The links present here between the calculated point and the source points allow you to calculate the states/values and indicate a coefficient, if necessary.

These links are useful, for example, if you are using declarative control points to track the component of a classification, such as a technical work package, on several low-level child items of equipment.
On a higher-level equipment in the equipment hierarchy, such as on a building, it is then enough to have the technical work package average, without viewing the details which may include a large number of control points.

There are several ways to fill in the list!

  1. You choose to add to this list all the SOURCE control points used for the desired calculation,
    → The calculation will consider all the listed control points.
  2. Automatically, when the calculated control point is created, with the point template and the equipment: the system lists the source templates to be considered and goes through the child items of equipment to return to the list all the declarative control points corresponding to the source templates associated with the downstream equipment,
    → The list is automatically and consistently added to the template and equipment when created,
        The calculation will consider all the listed control points, associated with downstream equipment.
  3. You can enable the "Initialize from template" action in this list,
    → The list is automatically and consistently reset to the calculated control point template and equipment template, as seen above.
        The calculation will consider all the listed control points.

 

For example, you can have for a building the average state of electrical sockets, ceiling lights, etc.
But also to have the average state of the building's electrical topic if all the declarative points associated with the electrical classification are taken. And this without viewing all the declarative control points of each room of a building to have obtain a report on its state.

A coefficient can be added to each link to refine the average with the "Weighted average" operator.
These coefficients are specific to each calculated control point.

This tab allows you to view and change the declarative control points taken into account by the calculation and their weight, if necessary, through the modifiable coefficient.

 

The calculations are not automatic at each change of state of the declarative points used as sources of a calculated point:
- Dedicated automatic processing is available in order to initiate the calculated control points.
- The calculation can be initiated manually from an action on the details of the calculated point.

Validity of the link

While a link to an Inactive structure point is possible, the inactive point is not considered in the calculation.

Links can only be created (automatically or manually) under the following conditions:
