TPN Time Sync Controls

LCNP4- GPS boards support a TPN time synchronization option that allows you to
synchronize TPN time to TPS time. An LCNP4- GPS board displays buttons in the
details mode to adjust the time synchronization. A node can leverage this Time sync
capability only when configured as a Clock Source in the NCF; other GPS enabled nodes
become listener nodes. Once configured as a Clock Source, enable and configure time
sync on the clock source node.
Since GUS R330 and APP R211, the TPN Time Sync function provides the ability to
synchronize TPN time to TPS node time.
The TPN Time Sync controls on the LCNP Status Display are the Demand Time Sync
button and the Set TPN to TPS time button. The buttons are enabled only on the node
that is designated as the Master clock source.
The LCNP Status display also shows the current TPS and TPN times, and the time and
result of the last time- synchronization execution.

ATTENTION
The Master and Slave clock source nodes must have the LCNP4- GPS (or
later) board installed. During configuration of the System Wide Values in the
Network Configuration File (NCF.CF), assign CLOCK NODE 1 and CLOCK
NODE 2 to the GUS and/or APP node numbers that have the LCNP4- GPS
board installed. The clock source node that has its personality loaded first
becomes the Master clock source node.

The TPN Time Sync function is not available for Universal GUS (UGUS)
nodes.

ATTENTION
Due to specific Microsoft time conversion routines used for daylight savings,
TPN time may be incorrect under the following conditions:
1. The Time Sync Auto Adjust for DST is not enabled.
2. Windows DST is enabled.
3. The TPN DST offset has not already been negated by a TPN Time
change or Set TPN To TPS Time request.
4. The Time Sync algorithm actually executes an immediate time change
between 2:00:00- 2:59:59AM (TPN Time) on the first Sunday in April.

Demand Time Sync

Clicking on this button initiates a time sync analysis without waiting for the next time
sync interval to occur. It has the same effect as a configuration change in that whenever
the configuration of the TPN Time Sync function changes, a TPN time synchronization is
initiated. This button is functional when the Enable TPS to TPN Time Synchronization
function is selected on the Configure Board 0- TPN Time Sync Page.

Set TPN to TPS Time

This button allows the user to synchronize TPN time to TPS time. The button is
functional when the Time Sync checkbox is selected on the Configure Board 0-
Common Page, and it is independent of the Enable TPS to TPN Time Synchronization
selection on the Configure Board 0- TPN Time Sync page. In addition, the button is
operational only when a user has signed onto the node using the Engineer privilege.
When you click on the Set TPN to TPS time button, the following dialog box appears:

The warning message indicates that TPN time will be changed to TPS time immediately.
Click the OK button to accept the change or click the Cancel button to leave TPN time
unchanged. When you click the OK button, TPN time is immediately changed to TPS
time. A Warning- Level event is logged on the System Event Log. This option has the
same effect as changing the TPN time manually.

When the user clicks the OK button, TPN time is set to the current TPS
CAUTION time.

The current TPS time may be slightly different that the time specified in

Enable LCNP Auto Restart

The Enable LCNP Auto Restart box is unchecked by default. If the box is checked,
then whenever the LCNP goes into PWR_ON state, the LCNP is automatically loaded
with the LCN Node personality using the local personality image files from the local
hard disk. After the personality image files are loaded, the LCN files such as the NCF,
area database, and backplane modules are loaded from the NET (History Modules).
The LCNP Auto Restart feature is not applicable to Application Module Replacement
and Universal Station Replacement nodes.
The Enable LCNP Auto Restart check box can be made available as a menu item in the
Native Window Access Menu. Refer to section 2.7, Native Window Page.

When LCNP Auto Restart is enabled, any time the LCNP goes into
CAUTION PWR_ON state, the LCNP will be automatically loaded. You will not be
able to do a Local/Target load. You have to disable the LCNP Auto
Restart feature before you can load the node manually.

ATTENTION
If nodes are to be restarted by the Automatic TPN System Restart function,
then the LCNP Auto Restart option for each node must be disabled in the
respective Configuration Utility.

If GUS nodes are to be restarted using the LCNP Auto Restart function and
you are implementing the Automatic TPN System Restart function, then the
nodes should be designated as being"excluded"in the RESTART.LD file used
by the Automatic TPN System Restart function. Refer to sections 14 and 17
of the Process Operations document.

Automatic TPN System Restart does not support the LCN- connected
Experion nodes.

Related Scenarios
A list of six different scenarios related to the LCNP Auto Restart option follow.
Note: All scenarios, except the ones with Native Windows, also apply to LCN-
connected Servers and APP nodes; and the option will be loaded with APP Node
personality.
Prerequisite:
History modules containing files including the NCF, Area database, and backplane
option files are required.
Scenario 1. A GUS or Experion Station - TPS is powered on/rebooted and required
History Module(s) are running
When a GUS or Experion Station - TPS is powered on or rebooted, the Windows
operating system loads and the LCNP goes into the PWR_ON state. If the LCNP Auto
Restart option is enabled, a GUS or Experion Station - TPS automatically loads the
LCNP with the personality using files from the GUS or Experion Station - TPS local hard
disk, and then loads LCN files (including the NCF, area database files, and backplane
module files) from the History Module(s).
Scenario 2. A GUS or Experion Station - TPS is powered on/rebooted and required
History Module(s) are not running
When a GUS or Experion Station - TPS is powered on or rebooted, the Windows
operating system loads and the LCNP goes into the PWR_ON State. If the LCNP Auto
Restart option is enabled, the GUS or Experion Station - TPS starts loading the files
from the GUS or Experion Station - TPS local hard disk. If the system History Module is
not running, GUS or Experion Station - TPS fails after trying to open the NCF file for
approximately 10 minutes. If the Backplane modules and the Area database files are not
available during startup, the GUS or Experion Station - TPS node displays a prompt
(&CUS N, 1,2,3,4,X ? or AR0X N, 1,2,3,4,X ? respectively) on its Native Window , if
the Native Window is already running. If Native Window is invoked AFTER the prompt
is generated, the prompt will NOT show up in the Native Window, but the personality
will still be waiting for an input from the user. The node will be stalled in the READY
state until the user takes an action.
For an APP or Experion Server - TPS node, the LCNP stalls in the READY state until
corrective action is taken and the LCNP is reset.
When the required History Module starts running and the LCNP is reset to the PWR_ON
state, the LCNP is automatically loaded with the personality.

ExperionR31x and TPSR400 System Components Configuration Utility User's Guide 31

03/08 Honeywell
2 Board Configuration Pages
2.2 LCNP Page

Scenario 3. A GUS or Experion Station - TPS is shutdown and the required History
Module(s) are running
When a GUS or Experion Station - TPS is shutdown, the LCNP goes into the QUALIF
state and LCNP Auto Restart is not initiated. At this point, you must either load the
personality manually or reset the LCNP to the PWR_ON state so that the LCNP is
automatically loaded with the personality.
Scenario 4. A failed GUS or Experion Station - TPS is being dumped
When a GUS or Experion Station - TPS is in the FAIL state and its memory is being
dumped, the LCNP state changes from the FAIL state to the PWR_ON state and the
dump process starts. When the dump is finished, if the LCNP Auto Restart option is
enabled, the LCNP auto restart is initiated and the GUS or Experion Station - TPS is
automatically loaded with the personality.
Scenario 5. A failed GUS or Experion Station - TPS is being loaded
When a failed GUS or Experion Station - TPS node is being loaded from System Status
Display of another station, the LCNP state will transition from FAIL to PWR_ON state.
If the LCNP auto restart is enabled, LCNP auto restart is initiated and the LCNP will be
automatically loaded with the personality. The target load from the System Status
Display will fail, because LCNP auto restart has taken over. If the LCNP auto restart is
enabled, you can reset the LCNP to the PWR_ON state and the LCNP will be
automatically loaded with the personality.
Scenario 6. GUS or Experion Station - TPS and History Module nodes are powered
on simultaneously
When the GUS or Experion Station - TPS and History Module nodes are powered on
simultaneously, the History Module is booted automatically and the LCNP goes into the
PWR_ON state. At this point, if the LCNP Auto Restart option is enabled, the LCNP
starts loading the local QLTs and PI files and then tries to open the NCF every 10
seconds for approximately 10 minutes (that is, 60 times in 10 minutes). If the History
Module is available and running in the span of 10 minutes, the LCNP will be loaded and
put into running state.

The High Priority Channels Setting

This configuration parameter allows you to configure the personality to set aside a
defined number of the data access channels for high priority actions only.
The only contention for these channels will be between high priority data access
applications.
Low priority data access applications will have to share the remaining channels with
other low priority data access applications and non- data access applications such as file
transfer and journal access.
The following formula is used:
Number of Low Priority Channels = 20 - (Number of High Priority Channels)
After you have set the number of High Priority Channels, you can set the number of High
Priority Servers as shown below.

The High Priority Servers Setting

This configuration parameter allows you to configure the personality to set aside a
defined number of data access servers to service high priority requests only.
The following formula is used:
Number of Low Priority Servers = 6 - (Number of High Priority Servers)

ATTENTION
Honeywell recommends that you do not set the number of high priority
servers to 6.

2.5 Emulated Disks Page

Page Usage
The Emulated Disks Page is used to configure an LCNP board that is running on either a
GUS or Experion Station - TPS node.

Page Overview
Emulated Disks provide cartridge drive functionality for Native Window by allocating
Windows file space for LCN file storage. Windows Emulated Disk files contain LCN
directory structures and file information stored in LCN file format.
Emulated disk files can be located:
• on a local or remote hard disk
• on a local or remote CD- ROM.
Note that emulated disk files stored on tape must be copied to a hard disk or a CD- ROM
to be usable.

ATTENTION
As of GUS 330, floppy disks should not be used as an emulated disk. The
policy files restrict the use of floppies as a protective measure against the
introduction of virus infected files.

Emulated disks are referenced by $Fnn drive numbers, where nn is one of the station's
assigned cartridge drive numbers as configured in the NCF for the station's LCN address.
With TPN R670, emulated disks can also be operated from the GUS/US using the TPN
Command Processor and EC files. For TPN R671 and greater, the emulated disks can
also be operated from the Experion Station- TPS.

REFERENCE - INTERNAL
Refer to Command Processor Operations, SW11 for more information
about operating emulated disks using the TPN/LCN Command Processor
and EC files.

CD- RW Considerations

ATTENTION
Special Considerations when using a CD- RW (re- writable CD)
with emulated disk files:
• Dismount the emulated disk files before removing the CD- RW from the
CD Drive. If you do not, an error message appears stating that the CD is
still in use by the Direct CD application.

To remove the error, dismount the emulated disk file using the
mount/dismount emulated disks display of the Configuration Utility.

• You can create emulated disk files on CD- Rs, but it is recommended
that you use this sequence of steps:

a) First, create the file on your local hard drive.

b) Dismount the file from the machine.
c) Copy the file to your CD- R.
• In some instances the name of the machine will be permanently placed
in the emulated disk file, because of the write once nature of CD- Rs;
consequently, you will not be able to remount the file on any other
machine, including the original machine.

The Set Path Button

With GUS R360, the TPN Command Processor and EC files use an emulated disk path to
create, mount, and delete emulated disks. This path can be configured using the Set Path
button on the Emulated Disks page. The default emulated disk path is \Program
files\Honeywell\TPS\Emulators\EmulatedDisks.
Use the Set Path button as follows to configure the emulated disk path:

• Select Reserved to allocate the entire amount of file storage space. This
space is reserved for the file even if its size is less than the maximum file
size. The amount of disk storage used does not increase with the
amount of data stored on the emulated disk.
• Select Dynamic to allocate a file storage space maximum. This allows
the file to grow dynamically. If the original file size is less than the
allocated maximum file size, it uses only the storage capacity required by
the file. As the file size increases, so does the storage used until the
allocated maximum is reached.
7 Select one of the Access radio buttons:
• The Read Only button provides TPS access to your emulated disk and
disallows user changes.

ATTENTION: The Read Only choice would not make sense, since there is
nothing written into the new file yet, and it cannot be initialized or written to
by the TPN if it has read- only access.

Page Usage
The Keyboard Page is used to configure an LCNP board that is running on a GUS, US, or
Experion Station - TPS node.

Page Overview
The Keyboard Page enables a user to configure user- defined display keys and customize
alarm annunciation.

Key Action and Key Label Definition

There are six User Defined keys on the Operator keyboard. Because labels are area
dependent, it is recommended that you configure the six keys to have the same operation
under all of the areas.
Programming the six User Defined keys entails two steps:
• First you define the Key Actions in Native Window (see the Procedure to define Key
Action section).
• Then you define the Key Titles using the Configuration Utility (see the Procedure to

Printer Selection
The three printer configuration choices are described below:
• If the node will not connect to a printer, select the No Printer Selected radio button.
Select this mode if the printer function of the Universal Station is not to be used. If
this mode is selected and the TPN NCF has a printer configured for the node, then
the Console Status display will indicate that the printer for this node is off- line.
• If the node will connect to a shared printer, select the Batch Printer Selection radio
button. This mode allows selection of local or remote printers, and allows the
selected printer to be shared with other applications and/or other nodes. Printed
output from the station is collected until the configured time or line limit is reached,
and printed as a"batch."In this mode, the true status of the printer is hidden by the
Windows operating system, and will most often show as OK on the Native Window
Console Status display, even when the printer is off- line or absent.
• If the node will connect to a dedicated printer, select the Continuous Printer
Selection option button. This mode most closely emulates the printing behavior of
the LCN Universal Station. In this mode, print output from the station is sent
immediately to the printer, which is useful for printing alarms. The printer must be
connected to a serial port of this node, and it may not be used across the network or
shared with any other application on the connected node or on any other node. With
TPS R360, the printer can be connected to an USB port. To configure a dedicated
printer to a serial/parallel/USB printer, follow these steps:

Step Action

2.9 TPN Time Sync Page

Enable Auto Adjust for Daylight Savings

If selected, TPN time will automatically be adjusted to Daylight Savings Time (DST).
This change is immediate even if the Enable Gradual Adjustment option is selected.
The change of the DST setting is an abrupt change and may cause loss of history data
based on CLOCK NODE 1 being set backward or forward. The DST adjustment occurs
when Windows Date/Time properties initiates a DST change.
When a DST change occurs at CLOCK NODE 1, the node immediately changes the TPN
time to the TPS time and eliminates any gradual adjustment that was in effect.
During this process, the Enable Gradual Adjustment option will be ineffective even if
it is checked.
If the Enable Auto Adjust for Daylight Savings option is not selected and a DST event
occurs, the Time Sync function will continue to synchronize the TPN time at a fixed
offset value that is equal to the DST adjustment value configured in Windows Date/Time
properties.
This fixed offset value remains in effect until the user clicks on the Set TPN to TPS time
button on the LCNP Status display, or the TPN Time Sync function detects a change in
the TPN time that is approximately equal to the DST adjustment, as configured in the
Windows Date/Time properties. The difference in time must be within 5 minutes of the
DST adjustment value.
The Enable Auto Adjust for Daylight Savings selection is independent of the Enable
TPS to TPN Time Synchronization checkbox.

Enable TPS to TPN Time Synchronization

If selected and this node is CLOCK NODE 1, TPN and TPS times will be checked at the
time interval specified in the Synchronization Interval option. If there is a discrepancy
between TPN and TPS times that is greater than the Dead Band Limit, TPN time will be
adjusted to TPS time according to the adjustment options selected. By default, the
Enable TPS to TPN Time Synchronization box is unchecked.

Synchronization Interval Setting

This setting is the amount of time (in seconds) between comparisons of TPN and TPS
times. You can enter the Synchronization Interval in seconds when Enable TPS to
TPN Time Synchronization is selected. When CLOCK NODE 1 is loaded with its
personality, then the time correction calculation occurs at the interval specified in
Synchronization Interval. The configurable adjustment range is 1–99999 seconds, and
the default value is set at 3600 seconds (i.e. 1 hr). During this time interval, if the time
difference exceeds the Dead Band Limit, the Master clock node starts adjusting TPN
time gradually to synchronize it with TPS time.
If the time difference exceeds the Cutoff Synchronization Limit value, the time
difference should be reduced manually by one of the following methods:
• Changing the time abruptly through the Set TPN to TPS Time button on the LCNP
Status display of CLOCK NODE 1 to reactivate the time synchronization
mechanism.
• Changing the time abruptly by changing the TPN time using the Native Window
targets so that the time is within the cutoff value. The next scheduled execution of
the TPN Time Sync function will adjust the TPN time to be closer to the TPS time.
The user must have Engineer keylevel access to perform the task.

Dead Band Limit Setting

If the difference between TPN time and TPS time falls within the specified Dead Band
Limit (1- 10 seconds), then no action will be taken by the Time Synchronization
function. An exception is when the difference is within the dead band and gradual
adjustment is in effect, then gradual adjustment will continue when possible to further
reduce the time difference. The default value for the Dead Band Limit is 2 seconds. The
Dead Band Limit value cannot be greater than the Gradual Adjust Limit value (when
Enable Gradual Adjustment has been selected) or the Cutoff Synchronization Limit
value (when Enable Gradual Adjustment has not been selected).
If the difference between TPN time and TPS time exceeds the Dead Band Limit, then
the function will initiate a gradual adjustment as specified by the Enable Gradual
Adjustment settings.

Enable Gradual Adjustment

If selected, adjustments to the TPN time will be made gradually according to the time
specified by the Gradual Adjust Limit (Sec) value. It is recommended that this option
be selected to avoid loss of historized data. If the Enable Gradual Adjustment box is
unchecked, then the time changes will occur immediately.

ATTENTION
Gradual adjustment is possible only if the CLOCK NODE 1 / CLOCK NODE 2
TPS nodes have the LCNP4- GPS board installed.

Gradual Adjust Limit Setting

This option is in effect when the time difference between the TPS time and TPN time
exceeds the Dead Band Limit value but is less than the Gradual Adjust Limit value.
An exception is when the difference is within the dead band when gradual adjustment is
already in effect, then gradual adjustment will continue when possible to further reduce
the time difference. The range of the Gradual Adjust Limit value is 1- 99999 seconds.
The default value for this option is 10 seconds.
The Gradual Adjust Limit value cannot be less than the Dead Band Limit value, and
cannot be greater than the Cutoff Synchronization Limit.

Cutoff Synchronization Limit Setting

Time adjustments are not made if the time difference between TPN and TPS nodes
exceeds the Cutoff Synchronization Limit value. The value range is 1- 99999 seconds.
By default, the Cutoff Synchronization Limit is set to 99999 seconds (27.5 hours). The
Cutoff Synchronization Limit cannot be less than the Gradual Adjust Limit or the
Dead Band Limit.
If the time difference exceeds the Cutoff Synchronization Limit value, the time
difference should be reduced manually by one of the following methods:
• Changing the time abruptly through the Set TPN to TPS Time button on the LCNP
Status display of CLOCK NODE 1 to reactivate the time synchronization mechanism.
• Changing the time abruptly by changing the TPN time using the Native Window
targets so that the time is within the cutoff value. The next scheduled execution of
the TPN Time Sync function will adjust the TPN time to be closer to the TPS time.
The user must have Engineer keylevel access to perform the task.

ATTENTION
After you enter the TPN Time Sync values in the CLOCK NODE 1 source,
ensure that you enter the same values in the TPN Time Sync page of the
CLOCK NODE 2 source.

Set Foreground Configuration

In applications or displays, to transfer the focus to another window, each user's account
must be set to enable SetForeground. If"Allow SetForeground during Startup"is selected,
then this Windows option will be set during each logon. This is an alternative to
including "start enablesetforeground.exe" in the operator.bat file for all users.
NOTE: If "Allow SetForeground during Startup" is not checked, the numeric keypad * is
treated as an asterisk. Therefore, any user account that has been set to enable
SetForeground will retain that setting. To disable SetForeground, use the interactive
program AllowSetForeground.exe in Program Files\Honeywell\TPS\Base.

Numeric- Keypad * Handling

With GUS R350 and later, the numeric- keypad * key in the IKB and in the OEP can be
used as a CLR ENTR key to clear the entry ports in GUS faceplate/Group and GUS
change Zone. This feature is similar to the one available for the Native Window.

6.2 Configuring GUS Displays for Runtime

Display Search Path Extension

The primary area database search path for GUS displays (.pct files) is defined in the
NCF. The system software always uses this search path first to try to locate GUS display
files.
Entering a search path to a Drive and Directory on your GUS into the Display Search
Path Extension data entry port provides another (secondary) area where GUS display
files can be kept.
When this parameter is "blank," which is the default value, the system software will use
only the primary area database search path to try to locate GUS display files.

Not Validated Displays

After a GUS display is built, the normal, recommended procedure is to validate it before
it is run. This display validation function verifies that the data references in scripts and
objects' dynamics are correct and binds references in the display to the data to allow
successful and efficient access during display execution. A display can run with
validation errors, but runtime errors may occur if data cannot be accessed during
execution due to invalid data references.
Setting the Not Validated Displays checkbox allows invalidated displays to run and
should be used only for testing.
The default value for this checkbox is "unchecked," which means that all displays will be
checked before they are run to see if they have been validated. If an invalidated display is
found, an error message will be displayed.

Shutdown Wait Limit Timeout

The Shutdown Wait Limit applies to GUS displays that use the OnDisplayShutDown
subroutine. It should be used to allow displays enough time for pending scripts to run to
completion but shut down if a script gets into an extremely long or infinite loop.
Refer to the OnDisplayShutDown section in the Display Authoring Tutorial manual for
additional information.
When a GUS display is shutting down, pending scripts are allowed to run to completion.
If a display script gets into an infinite loop, the display may not be able to close. This will
affect the ability to invoke new GUS displays, which can cause a variety of problems.
Entering a time into the "Shutdown Wait Limit" Timeout data entry port will force all
GUS displays to close normally, avoiding the delay associated with an infinite or a
potentially very long loop.
When this parameter is "0," an "infinite" timeout is assumed, and this means that GUS
displays will never be forced to terminate.

The default FullHeight and HalfHeight fonts are"lcn8x16.fon"and"lcn8x8.fon”. They are
installed in the following directory:
Program Files\Honeywell\TPS\NativeWindow\Fonts
LCNstd.ttf and LCNhalf.ttf are direct replacements for the lcn8x16_0.fon and
lcn8x8_0.fon fonts. They are usable with all screen resolutions and are the preferred font
for screens set to 1024x768 or less. On high resolution screens (1600x1200) the light
weight of the font (necessary for clarity at 640x480) makes parts of some characters
appear dimmer than may be desired.

11.4 Increasing the Font Size in the Native Window

LCNhires.ttf and LCNhiresHalf.ttf are designed specifically for use on high resolution
monitors (set at 1280x1024 or 1600x1200). These are heavier fonts with more
curvatures than the LCNstd.ttf and LCNHalf.ttf. As a result, the characters may appear
to be ragged at some sizes on lower resolution screens.
All of these fonts are monospace, sans serif. When used outside of the NativeWindow, a
font size of 10 for LCNstd.ttf and LCNhires.ttf matches the character size of
lcn8x16_0.fon, and a font size of 7 for LCNhalf.ttf and LCNhiresHalf.ttf matches the
character size of lcn8x8_0.fon. The LCN fonts include the ASCII characters (0- 127) set
plus the Kanji characters (encoded as 128- 191).

CAUTION The Native Window will not be able to display text if you select a
language and the selected fonts do not support the language.

11.4 Increasing the Font Size in the Native Window

ATTENTION
In Windows 2000 and greater, maximizing the Native Window does not
increase the font size properly as it did in the Windows NT 4.0
implementation.

To properly increase the font size of the Native Window, use the procedure
described in the section Increasing the Font Size for the Native Window in the

12.3 Using the Limit to Avoid Infinite Loops

12.3 Using the Limit to Avoid Infinite Loops

Purpose
If your site is using displays build with the GUS Display Builder, then personnel
responsible for those displays may have interest in the Shutdown Wait Limit Timeout
setting. The timeout setting applies to GUS displays that use an event called
OnDisplayShutdown. When a request is made to shutdown a display, all other currently
executing scripts within that display run to completion before the OnDisplayShutdown
script runs.
A display taking a long time to be displayed could be an indication that the PREVIOUS
display (the one being closed to make room for the new display) had a problem shutting
down, and had to wait for the Shutdown Wait Limit to force it to shutdown.

Example Usage
An example of a problem that could occur is with an"Msg"object (used to provide
progress dialog) in a GUS display under SafeView control that will not close if the code
never breaks out of the loop.
The timeout setting here can force a shutdown of a display within a specified time, which
means that the display itself can shutdown before all other currently executing scripts run
to completion. When deciding to use this timeout option, users take responsibility that
any scripts whose executions are being preemptively terminated are inconsequential.

Guidelines
The Shutdown Wait Limit should allow sufficient time for scripts to complete, but shut
down the display after a reasonable time if the script gets into a long or infinite loop. Be
cautious when changing the Shutdown Wait Limit. Note that a value set between 1 and
249 milliseconds will be automatically rounded up to 250 milliseconds (1/4 second).
Setting the Shutdown Wait Limit too high may delay the invocation of new displays.

ATTENTION
Setting the Shutdown Wait Limit to zero will disable the feature.

highest keylevel allowed for the new user.
(default = off)
When this option is not set, TPS applications will not
automatically raise the keylevel for a new signon, but will
always lower the key setting if the new user is not authorized
at the current level.

Default Workstation This option allows a site to decide what the default keylevel will
Keylock be for a workstation. This default keylevel is set whenever a
Windows login or logout occurs. The default provides the
(default = View Only) starting point for the key setting for a workstation at the time a
user logs onto the machine. If the auto- raise option above is
enabled, this setting is of little concern.

 16. Alarm Annunciator Sound Files Page
16.1 Page Overview
The Alarm Annunciator Sound Files page is used to configure wave files (.WAV - wave
form audio files) for annunciation of TPS Native Window alarms. A wave file can be
assigned to each of the three alarm contact levels on a station that has an OEP (Operator
Entry Panel) in a Honeywell Icon Series Console or an IKB (Integrated Keyboard).
The Alarm Annunciator Sound Files page allows you to:
• Specify a wave file for each of the three alarm contacts.
• Specify which contacts are to have the highest and lowest priority.
• Enable/disable wave file alarm annunciation.

Contact #
When a station receives a command to turn on alarm contact 1, 2, or 3, it can play a wave
file assigned to the contact. For TPN alarms, the NCF System Wide Values
configuration determines what alarm events turn on each contact.

Alarm Priority High/Low

The Alarm Priority High/Low radio buttons define the alarm annunciation priority of the
alarm contacts that cause wave files to be played. If the station receives a command for a
higher priority contact than the contact that is currently playing, the station preempts the
lower priority contact and turns on the higher priority contact.

Wave Files
Specify the wave file to be played when a contact is turned on. The default directory for
the browse buttons is the standard location for Microsoft wave files.

Enable checkbox
Check the Enable checkbox to enable the wave file annunciation. If the Enable checkbox
is unchecked, the station ignores the command to play a wave file.

ATTENTION
• The IKB Server software driver supports the sound files function. It is an
executable module implemented as a Windows service on stations that
have an IKB (Integrated Keyboard) or an OEP (Operator Entry Panel).
• The IKB Server responds immediately to changes made to the Alarm
Annunciator Sound Files page.
• Configuration of the Alarm Annunciator Sound Files page does not affect
the alarm annunciation provided through IKB/OEP relay contacts.

16.4 Configuration Example

16.4 Configuration Example

With the following configuration, the system provides alarm annunciation as described in
the example.
Example - NCF System Wide Values configuration
System Status alarms - Contact 3
Emergency Priority alarms - Contact 2
High and Low Priority alarms - Contact 1

Example - Alarm Annunciator Sound Files configuration

Contact 3 - (no button selected - defaults to "Middle" priority)
Contact 2 - High button selected (Highest priority)
Contact 1 - Low button selected (Lowest priority)

Example - Annunciation Results

• If a System Status alarm occurs (Contact 3), the station plays the sound file for
Contact 3.
• If an Emergency Priority alarm occurs (Contact 2) while sound file 3 is still playing,
the station stops sound file 3 and starts sound file 2, because Contact 2 is configured
to have the highest priority.
• If a High or Low Priority alarm occurs (Contact 1) while sound file 3 is still playing
the station continues playing sound file 3, because Contact 1 has the lowest priority.
