The network engine indicates whether the required XIF resource file is present with an attribute called XIF Present. This attribute is located under the Focus and Hardware tabs of the field controller. A value of True indicates that the required XIF resource file is present, and False indicates that the file is missing. If the file is missing, Critical Resource Missing is shown for the status of the device. An alarm message appears when an object without the required XIF file is added to the integration. If any other resource file type is missing, the point object may display Data Conversion Error.
