4.2 Defining system actions in response to alarms/events
In boss, the system's automatic response to certain site conditions can be set. To configure these procedures,
rules need to be defined. A rule features the following elements:
1.
Action that represents the system's response (send an SMS, email, energise a relay, set a variable, open a
window, print a report or alarm row, call remote supervisor).
2.
A calendar of time bands indicating the times when these functions should be active.
3.
Condition (alarm or event) that represents the site status that triggers the response.
