Creating and Using Custom LonMaker Shapes and Stencils
NxeName
Specifies the file name or full path of the application file. If it is
not specified here, the LonMaker user will be prompted for an
application file when a request is made to load the application
image.
ObjStateStyle
Specifies whether the coloring style is applied to the shape’s fill,
line, text, or a combination of the three.
• A value of 1 indicates that the style applies to the shape’s
lines.
• A value of 2 indicates that the value applies to the shape’s
fill.
• A value of 4 indicates that the style applies to the shape’s
text.
• You can add values together to specify combinations. For
example, a value of 6 indicates that the style applies to the
shape’s fill and text, but not its lines. By default, the style
applies to all three shape attributes.
PingClass
Specifies the ping interval.
• A value of 0 specifies that the default ping interval is used for
this shape.
• A value of 1 specifies that the 1-minute ping interval be used.
• A value of 2 specifies that the 2-minute ping interval be used.
• A value of 3 specifies that the 15-minute ping interval be
used.
• A value of 4 specifies that the Never ping interval be used.
Priority
A value of 1 indicates that priority will be enabled for devices
created from this master shape.
ProgramId
Device program ID. The LonMaker tool uses this value first to
find the device template by name. If not specified, the
TmplName value is used.
RequiresVFB
• Specifies whether the device requires a virtual functional
block.
• A value of 0 specifies that the device does not require a
virtual functional block.
• A value of 1 specifies that the device requires virtual
functional blocks.
• A value of -1 specifies that the LonMaker tool should
determine this value based on the device’s set of network
variables, configuration properties, and message tags.
• The default value is -1.
TmplName
Device template name. This must be specified if XifName is
specified. Be sure to specify a unique device template name for
each unique device interface (XIF) file.
If the LonMaker tool does not first find a device template based
on the ProgramId value, it uses the value in TmplName to look
up the device template by name. If neither is found, the
LonMaker tool searches for a device interface file based on the
