Events Status Request (Alarms); Control Events Retrieval From The Command Line; Serial Communication; Ethernet Communication - GE Multilin F650 Instruction Manual

APPENDIX B
The necessary data to retrieve events that have been configured as alarms are located in the following addresses:
0xf000: 24 registers, the first 12 indicate the status active/inactive and the last 12 indicate the status of
acknowledged/not acknowledged.
0xf018: 12 event alarm status (active - not active, acknowledged – not acknowledged) registers.
0xf024: date and hour of the event bits starts (groups of 16 dates and hour must be asked for).
To obtain an instantaneous snapshot of all the events and alarms status, the procedure is:
• - Read the head of events FIFO (0x03FF).
• - Read the zones mentioned before.
• - Finally, read the head again to confirm that it has not changed. If it had changed, restart the procedure.
NOTE: The message must request the address and the quantity of bytes indicated in each zone. If other quantity is needed
it will not respond with the requested data.
B.1.6.1 CONTROL EVENTS RETRIEVAL FROM THE COMMAND LINE
Starting EnerVista 650 Setup form the command line offers the possibility of transferring control events to a file. For this
purpose, we need to indicate the event number from which event controls are to be retrieved, and the file where they are to
be stored.
Communication can be established via serial communication by specifying the port and access baudrate, or via Ethernet
through the IP address and communication port. The relay number from which events are to be retrieved must also be
indicated.
For executing this Operation, 6 parameters must be written, for both cases, serial communication or Ethernet.
B.1.6.2 SERIAL COMMUNICATION
F650pc –e event number " File name" –com port: baudrate relay number
E.g.: EnerVista 650 Setup –e 6 "C:\GE Power Management\EnerVista 650 Setup\files\Events\eventos.txt" –com 1:19200
254
B.1.6.3 ETHERNET COMMUNICATION
F650pc –e event number " File name" –ip "IP address": port relay number
E.g.: EnerVista 650 Setup –e 6 "C:\GE Power Management\EnerVista 650 Setup\files\Events \eventos.txt" –ip
192.168.37.240:502 254
The created file format will look as follows:
#Event Number, Event Id,Event Text,Event Data Time,Event Value(0,1)#
