CIM Issues #6368
Updated by David Haynes 11 months ago
This is a question for the team to discuss: If we were to add a field #19 and #20 to the ReadingTypeID, where field 19 was the EndDeviceEvnetType Enumeration EndDeviceDomain, and field 20 was the EndDeviceSubDomain,would it be sufficient to categorize the measurement (assuming the UOM="status")? The value presented could then be the EndDeviceEventOrAction code. Knowing the ID of the device the measurement came from would identify its source. We could then carry event statuses as measurements. [A less clean solution would be to attempt to overload two fields, such as numerator and denominator, as these two new fields. The other fields such as commodity, kind, (and most others except for uom) would all be empty. These two fields (plus uom=status) would be populated to indicate it is a measurement of an event status.] [Perhaps all we need is a new "commodity" which is "EventTypeID", then place the _EndDeviceDomain_ EndDeviceDomain in the numerator field, and the _EndDeviceSubDomain_ EndDeviceSubDomain in the denominator field, have UOM="status", and we can carry the data in 18 fields.]
