The Map object is used to register and configure the Map interface object in Axxon PSIM, which allows creating and positioning the icons of the installed devices on the map of the protected area and using the icons to operate the devices. 
The settings panel of the Map object is shown in the figure.:

Table The table describes the setting parameters corresponding to the elements of the settings panel of the Map interface object.

5

The Search alarmed links recursively
checkbox

Set the checkbox

Sets

if

the recursive search for the objects on the layers

is possible

.

The recursive search is a search

,

where the transition from one layer, containing an object, to another layer, containing an icon, is performed by

succesive

successive jumps to the

the

neighboring layers, using sequential links

Boolean type

Clear

Seta recursive search is enabled

Cleara recursive search is disabled

6The Search depth
field
Enter the value in the field

Sets the search depth for alarms across map layers if the map is multi-layered. This parameter determines how many layers will indicate the alarm. The value can only be entered if the Search alarmed links recursively checkbox is set

Sequence of numbers0
  • Empty field—search across layers isn't limited;
  • 0—related layers aren't taken into account during the search, that is, in case of alarm, only the layer on which the alarm occurs will blink;
  • >0—indicates the number of layers through which the search is performed. For example, the map has six interconnected layers, and the alarm appears on the third layer. If the key value is 1, the alarm will blink on layer 3, as well as on layers 2 and 4

7

The Search for the shortest path
checkbox

Set the checkbox

Enables the search for the shortest path to the alarmed layer.

If there are several paths from the active layer to the alarmed layer, then the shortest path is automatically found and selected when the Alarm signal is received (only one icon, that is, the Link to layer,will blink

in

on the active layer, indicating the shortest path).

Works together with the Search alarmed links recursively option only

Boolean type

Clear

Setsearch for the shortest path is enabled

Clearsearch for the shortest path is disabled
