Using a binding template to bind objects with a period ('.') in the object name

Issue

EcoStruxure Building Operation allows using a period embedded in the name of an object (i.e My.AnalogValue) and  the name of a binding variable in the Script program cannot contain a period.  

 

In the Script program all the periods in the binding variable names have to be changed to a different character such as the underscore (_).

 

This in turn causes a problem for a programmer that has created many objects using the period in the names as it is now NOT possible to use the default name matching binding template.

Product Line

EcoStruxure Building Operation

Environment

  • Script Programs
  • Enterprise Server
  • Automation Server

Cause

Script programs do not allow a period '.' in binding variable names because the period has special functionality in the Script compiler.

Resolution

Create a new path matching binding template or edit an existing one to map the underscore to the period.

 

 

Here is a second example:

 

Name of point/value contains embedded '.' as well as spaces

This is what the binding variable would look like in the Script program

and here is the Path Matching Template
