Alerts
The DLC3020f provides two levels of alerts; Instrument alerts and PlantWeb alerts.
Instrument Alert Conditions
Instrument Alert Conditions, when enabled, detect many operational and performance issues that may be of interest.
To view these alerts, the user must open the appropriate status screen on a host such as AMS Device Manager or a
Device Communicator.
PlantWeb Alerts
Instrument alert conditions can be used to trigger PlantWeb alerts that will be reported in Failed, Maintenance or
Advisory categories, as configured by the user. PlantWeb alerts, when enabled, can participate in the DeltaV alarm
interface tools such as the alarm banner, alarm list and alarm summary.
When a PlantWeb alert occurs, the DLC3020f sends an event notification and waits a specified period of time for an
acknowledgment to be received. This occurs even if the condition that caused the alert no longer exists. If the
acknowledgment is not received within the pre‐specified time‐out period, the event notification is retransmitted. This
reduces the possibility of alert messages getting lost.
DLC3020f alerts can be reported in the following categories.
Failed— indicates a problem with the DLC3020f that affects its operation. Immediate action is required for a Failed
condition.
