1.2.2 Point Picker
In many locations in FBxConnect, you can click browse ( ) to view the Point Picker dialog. The
Point Picker dialog allows you to reference a specific object or parameter in the database. These are
used typically when linking two objects together (like a meter to a station) or when dynamically
assigning an input or output variable to a source (like an analog input to a meter temperature
input).
You can also open the Point Picker dialog to view the database by selecting Configure > Point
Picker from the FBxConnect™ main menu.
You can select two different types of references in FBxConnect™ depending on the field: object
references and parameter references.
Note
If you open the Point Picker from the FBxConnect™ main menu (Configure > Point Picker), the
dialog shows parameter references.
Object References – Sometimes the point picker is used to pick an object reference. In this
•
case, you are only able to select the object and instance of the object. For example, if you are
configuring a meter run and are setting the station assignment, you can only pick which
station you wish to assign, not a particular parameter.

this case, the Point Picker dialog shows three columns. You select an object and instance of the
object in the first column. After clicking on the object type and instance in the first column, the
second column displays all appropriate parameters for this particular object reference.
Sometimes the parameter you pick in the second column is an object itself, and this object
contains additional referenced parameters. You can choose these additional referenced
parameters in the third column.

If the point picker is used to pick a parameter reference, you can pick a
parameter directly from the object to which it belongs, or you can pick the
parameter through an object reference in a related object. For instance, to
pick a parameter to assign to an Average object, you can pick the DP Mtr_1
object and the Station Assignment parameter and then the third column
displays all of the parameters that are available from the Station object that
is assigned to DP Mtr_1. This is useful because even if the station assignment

1.4 Native Data Types
Values stored within FB Series devices exist as parameters in an internal database. Each of these
parameters has a native data type that best fits the purpose of the data. Many of these data types
are industry standard, such as signed integers, unsigned integers, 32-bit floats, and 64-bit doubles.
However, more unusual and specialized native data types, such as ENUM16, BIN8, and BYTE4 are
also used throughout the device. Data type definitions, their size (in bytes), and typical use or
range is defined in the table below.
Understanding the native data types is important for configuration exercises, such as mapping
Modbus registers and custom DNP3 maps. External systems do not often have the same native

data types as an FB Series device. Choosing appropriate remote data type conversions (Modbus) or
Tables (DNP3) will depend the size, range, and purpose of the native data types.
Note
ENUM16 – The ENUM16 data type is used extensively throughout the internal database. It is an
•
integer which represents an enumeration where each value (0, 1, 2, etc.) has a different
meaning. This data type is the same as a UINT16 (unsigned 16 bit integer) and should be
treated as such for mapping to external systems.
BIN – The BIN data types (BIN8, BIN16, BIN32) are integers where each bit of the value has a
•
specific meaning. A BIN8 (which is the same as a UINT8) has 8 bits, a BIN16 (same as a UINT16)
has up to 16 bits, and a BIN32 (same as a UINT32) has up to 32 bits (note that not all bits may
be used). Treat these data types as their associated unsigned integers (UINT8, UINT16,
UINT32) when mapping to external systems.
BYTE – The BYTE data types (BYTE4, BYTE6, BYTE32) represent a series of bytes which are all
•
related, but do not typically form an integer. Use of these data types is rare, and they do not
typically have an analogous data type in external systems.
PRMREF and OBJREF – The PRMREF and OBJREF data types are used throughout the system for
•
linking data and groups of data together. These references can be used to point to other
parameters (or objects) sometimes as defined by the user, and other times in a fixed manner.
Because of the “tag” based nature of accessing parameters in FB Series devices, a PRMREF is
essentially a UC40 (40-character string), and an OBJREF is essentially a UC20 (20-characters
string). Treat these data types as their associated strings (UC40 and UC20) when mapping to
external systems.
