Coded variables
Coded Variables are used for input and output processing as well as alarm
processing. Coded Variables can be used to build alarms and to display process
or equipment status on graphics and reports.
FuelsManager allocates the first 512 Coded Variables. These standard Coded
Variables are used for FuelsManager processes and cannot be modified. The
predefined variables include most common process control states including
equipment status, alarm states, months of the year, and equipment commands.
If the list is not sufficient, the user has the ability to create new Coded Variables.
Once created, the Coded Variables are available for assignment in the database.

completely.
