This command forces a specific alarm event. The alarm events are available in the Communications Server
(over the Ethernet interface), and a client application can read the Communications Server's "fast status"
(alarm event) register to ascertain when certain conditions have occurred. 12 different software alarms are
available (see table in
INTHW
program to generate specific alarms at predefined places in your program.
The specific alarm event cannot be forced until the corresponding enable bit is set with the
command. For example, before you can force alarm event bit #3 (
Gem6K to check the state of alarm event bit #3 (
The client application must determine the cause of the forced alarm event. This is accomplished by polling
the Communication Server's "fast status" register for the alarm information. Once the register has been
read for a client application, the alarm conditions are automatically cleared in the Communications Server.
For more information on the alarms and using the fast status register, refer to the Programmer's Guide.
