For the email alarming function, the user must have an email address assigned which allows receiving alarm emails generated by the Excel Web controller.
FALCON USER GUIDE DATAPOINTS An Excel Web® controller supports up to 600 physical datapoints and an unlimited number of value datapoints. A datapoint has different properties according to its type. Properties are displayed and can be modified via a standard browser on operator interfaces such as laptops, desktop PCs, or panel PCs.
USER GUIDE FALCON Value datapoints are values (intermediate results and parameters) computed while the application program is running. In contrast to physical datapoints, value datapoints are not directly connected to hardware devices. A typical example of a value datapoint is a room temperature setpoint. Access via datapoint name During system operation, you may need to access these values.

But, alarms will only be generated for the enabled transitions (To-Normal, To-OffNormal, and/or To-Fault) of a recipient.
USER GUIDE FALCON Editing Equivalent Generates and indicates the ´out of service` status of the datapoint. The ´out of service` property allows decoupling the physical input or output from the datapoint. For inputs the decoupling is done by manual override. For outputs this is done by checking the ´Out of Service` flag.
FALCON USER GUIDE Editing Equivalent COV Period Defines the amount of time in seconds between the periodic transmissions of the present value. This property can be used alone or in combination with the Increment property. When the period property is used in combination with the increment property, the present value will always be updated periodically independent on the transmissions of the present value due to the COV setting.

FALCON USER GUIDE ALARM HANDLING Alarm Behavior of Datapoints Event States For any datapoint type, an application and/or product specific value range is defined in which the point is in the operating (event) state ´Normal`. If the point value has changed due to exceptional situations, the event state of a datapoint can be either ´Off-Normal` or ´Fault`.

FALCON USER GUIDE When enabled, this flag indicates that the physical datapoint is decoupled from the datapoint, e.g. in case of manual override for inputs. The present value displayed is not the present value, which would be delivered by the physical input. NOTE: Multiple flag indications may be possible.
