Multistate Tags using metadata properties

Forum / Questions & Answers

Could I please get some more details around the options for multistate tags (enums):

ie 0=Off, 1=On, 2=Disabled, 3=Emergency stopped

I see Axiom has a State Drawing mode for a tag - is it possible to have these states use metadata properties? (Are specially named properties required)?

Is there a way to handle multistate tags completly automatically (ie in Views or Calcs)?

Should they be configured as strings or as int?

Hi ,

Currently, the values for State Drawing mode are manually entered within the chart. We don't have a way to tie in to a table lookup or properties at this time, but there is an internal work item to develop some functionality here.

If you wanted to create a calc that did the transformation you could. It would just consume a tag license. I would recommend using the Switch() function in that case.
