Communications Module Alarm Logic
Events are an indication that something has occurred within the unit. Alarms are a
subset of events. All alarms are events, but not all events are alarms. All events log
the following information:
Timestamp
Event type
Event/alarm level
Condition that caused the event
Communications Module Event Log
The Communications module maintains an event history of the last 500 events in
non-volatile RAM that can be retrieved by the user. In the interactive mode, the
Communications module always returns the events with the last generated event
output last.
Using one of the available communication ports, a user can request the following:
List of events by a given type of REPORT or ALARM
List of events based upon a start and stop time
Clear the event log
Interactive mode ports can request:

A number of last events be displayed
