Chart views provide visual cues that indicate when NonCEE type Point.Parameter references are being used by applying a user defined color to both Watermark indicators on a Function Block surface and also any Pin Connection lines that are drawn in the Chart View. NonCEE type references can be from LCN, SCADA, or other 3rd party data references.
Choosing the Color to use for identifying NonCEE Point references
The color to choose for NonCEE Point reference types is defined in the Data View options.
Examples
This example shows a Watermark on an AuxCalc type Function Block that has an expression containing a NonCEE type Parameter reference.
Function Block using NonCEE Parameter Reference type
This Watermark in the user defined color is shown on any Function Block surface that references a NonCEE Parameter reference type.
Using PolicyCop to find all NonCEE Reference types
PolicyCop supports an API Method named DataMethods.GetNonCeeReferences() that returns a string array of all CM.BlockName instances where a NonCEE Point reference is being used. There is a Rule provided with the PolicyCop RuleSets named AnyNonCEEReferences that uses this API method that can be executed on any PKS CEE XML configuration project to quickly identify usage.
