The equipment template is an XML file that uses proprietary tags and attributes to specify the fields of input and output databases, and define filters and transformation rules that create tags from existing database fields. It uses the existing TagGen syntax rules.
The template file is linked to a specific equipment type. Equipment types can be supplied from different sources:
Types defined by your project should use a project specific prefix to avoid conflicting with templates from another source. You should not use 'SE' or 'LIB' as prefixes for your template type names to avoid conflict with future product supplied templates.
It is recommended that the template file name should use the corresponding equipment type name for consistency. When adding the template to your project, the equipment type name should be the type name used by the template (see Parameters).
An equipment template XML file consists of five sections:
Sample template files are located in the example project directory, and include Building Level.xml, Building Light Dimmer.xml, Building Light.xml, Building Room.xml, Plant Level.xml, Plant Light.xml, and Plant Line.xml.
