What Is Deadband?
 is the range through which an input 
signal can vary without initiating an observable change in output signal. 
Deadband usually is expressed in percent of full scale. Although the term 
deadband generally applies only to analog tags, other tag types have a 
limited type of deadband. A checkbox allows you to determine if updates 
to the RTDB and historical data files should occur with any new data from 
the device server or if the value has changed.
Note 
The BridgeVIEW Engine performs historical logging and alarm management 
operations based on new values in the RTDB. If you set the Update Deadband too 
high, the RTDB might not be updated. This might result in inadequate historical 
logging or alarm management.
How Do You Use Deadband to 
Increase Engine Throughput?
The BridgeVIEW Engine uses Update Deadband and Log Deadband 
values to eliminate unnecessary processing on minor data value changes. 
Deadband allows you to define a significant change. The Engine ignores an 
operation if the change in data is not considered significant. Deadband is 
expressed as percent of full scale. For example, if the tag engineering range 
is 0 to 200 liters, a deadband of 5% is 10 liters. In addition, through I/O 
group configuration, you can configure a server to apply a deadband to any 
items associated with that I/O group. Not all servers implement deadbands. 
OPC servers support deadbands.
Set Initial 
Value
all
Determines whether an initial value is used for this tag. If Set 
Initial Value is OFF for this tag, the tag value is marked as 
uninitialized until its value is updated. 
Initial Value
all
The initial value used for this tag when Set Initial Value is ON. 
If the tag is an Output only or Input/Output tag, the BridgeVIEW 
Engine sends the Initial Value to the server at Engine startup. 
If the tag is an Input only or Memory tag, the Initial Value is 
stored in the RTDB at startup.
