Alerts
The Resource Block will act as a coordinator for PlantWeb alerts. There will
be three alarm parameters (FAILED_ALARM, MAINT_ALARM, and
ADVISE_ALARM) which will contain information regarding device errors
detected by the transmitter software. There will be a
RECOMMENDED_ACTION parameter which will be used to display the
recommended action text for the highest priority alarm, and a
HEALTH_INDEX parameter (0 - 100) indicating the overall health of the
device. FAILED_ALARM will have the highest priority followed by
MAINT_ALARM, and ADVISE_ALARM will be the lowest priority.
FAILED_ALARMS
A failure alarm indicates a failure within a device that will make the device or
some part of the device non-operational. This implies that the device is in
need of repair and must be fixed immediately. There are five parameters
associated with FAILED_ALARMS specifically, they are described below.
FAILED_ENABLE
This parameter contains a list of failures in the device which makes the
device non-operational that will cause an alarm to be sent. Below is a list
of the failures in order of priority from 1 to 5, where 5 is the highest priority.
This priority is not the same as the FAILED_PRI parameter described
below. It is hard coded within the device and is not user configurable.
1. Software Incompatibility Error
2. Memory Failure - FF I/O Board
3. Device Error
4. Internal Communication Failure
5. Electronics Failure
FAILED_MASK
This parameter will mask any of the failed conditions listed in
FAILED_ENABLE. A bit on means that the condition is masked out from
alarming and will not be reported.
FAILED_PRI
Designates the alarming priority of the FAILED_ALM, see "Alarm Priority"
on page 4-46. The default is 0 and the recommended values are between
8 and 15.
FAILED_ACTIVE
This parameter displays which of the alarms are active.
FAILED_ALM
Alarm indicating a failure within a device which makes the device
non-operational.
