Objectives :
i) Identify the functions of the CAMS for HIS
ii) Understand the layout of the Message Monitor of CAMS for HIS
CENTUM VP provides Consolidated Alarm Management Software for HIS (hereinafter

referred to as “CAMS for HIS”) customized for HIS applications. A CAMS for HIS supports
EEMUA No.191 that defines a set of guidelines for alarm management.
19.1. What is CAMS for HIS?

CAMS for HIS permits alarm and event (hereinafter referred to as “A&E”) messages like
system alarm messages, process alarm messages, operation guide messages to be centrally
managed.
After enabling the CAMS for HIS on [CAMS for HIS] tab of HIS Utility, System Alarm view and
Process Alarm view will be replaced by the Message Monitor of CAMS for HIS. Moreover,
after un-checking the option of [Exclude operation guide messages], (since operation guide
messages can also be handled by CAMS for HIS) the Operator Guide view will be replaced
by the Message Monitor of CAMS for HIS.
The Message Monitor of CAMS for HIS is shown below.

System Configuration of CAMS for HIS

A CENTUM VP system configuration using CAMS for HIS is shown below.
By connecting an OPC A&E server, A&E messages generated in the connected STARDOM
or PRM systems can also be consolidated and managed on the HIS, along with A&E
messages generated in the CENTUM system.
A&E messages are equalized between multiple HISs in which CAMS for HIS is enabled.
Desired HISs can also be selected, from these multiple HISs, to implement A&E message
equalization. On the HISs in the Equalization Scope, all A&E messages including alarms
received via an OPC server are equalized. In each Equalization Scope, only one Download
Master exists for downloading data with Configurator of CAMS for HIS. Database files are
always downloaded to each HIS via the Download Master.
Figure: System Configuration of CAMS for HIS
If the power of Download Master is turned off, data cannot be downloaded to the database.
However, operation and monitoring of A&E messages is not affected
19.2. Functions of CAMS for HIS

CAMS for HIS provides various functions to make CENTUM VP system compliant with
EEMUA No.191.
A&E Message Processing by CAMS for HIS
The following describes the A&E message processing functions available in CAMS for HIS.
Alarm Acquisition
Receives A&E messages from PRM and STARDOM via an OPC server, in addition to which
generated within CENTUM VP.
Normalization
Adds attributes, such as source name, timestamp and priority, to received A&E messages
based on the settings file created by the Configurator of CAMS for HIS. Normalization
standardizes the way A&E messages are expressed in different systems, to make
comparison of these A&E messages easy.
Grouping
Consolidates associated alarms into an alarm group. The user defines the conditions for
grouping alarms.
Attribute Addition, or Change

Adds conditions for grouping alarms, or changes existing conditions.
Suppression
Suppresses unnecessary alarms.
Shelving
Temporarily moves (shelves) alarms of lower priorities to other location from the A&E
Messages pane, in order to facilitate the recognition of more important alarms in the A&E
Browser pane and A&E Messages pane. This prevents the operator from overlooking
important alarms among lower-priority alarms when many alarms are present.
Load shedding
Shows only those messages matching the pre-defined search conditions once the number of
alarms generating in a specified period exceeds the threshold.
Sorting
Sorts A&E messages based on desired items and shows the sorted A&E messages in the
A&E Messages pane.
Filtering
Shows, among the A&E messages displayed in the A&E Messages pane, only those alarms
meeting specific conditions. It is possible to reduce the number of displayed alarms.
Audit Trails
Manages audit trails regarding the settings information relating to CAMS for HIS created by
Configurator of CAMS for HIS.
User Security Policy

Restricts the permissions on A&E Messages monitoring, change of system settings and other
operations for each user.
Management of Alarms
Manages the statuses of alarms and alarm groups (acknowledged, unacknowledged, etc.)
and deletes unnecessary alarms.
Alarm System Design

Using CAMS for HIS, this function sets various items needed to implement the specific alarm
processing desired by the user. This function is provided by Configurator of CAMS for HIS.

19.6. Screening Alarms
The Message Monitor of CAMS for HIS lets you effectively manage frequent alarms. With the
help from this window, there are no more oversights of important alarms.
The applicable functions are listed below.
•Shelving
•Filtering
•Dynamic Filtering
•Message Tree View
•Suppression
19.7. Shelving
Alarms of lower priorities can be temporarily moved (shelved) to other location from the A&E
Messages pane to make it easier to recognize more important alarms.
Display of Shelved Alarms

The Shelves pane is divided into several fields corresponding to different shelving conditions.
These fields are called “buttons.” The information of shelved alarms is shown below each
button with a shelf name.
A display example of button is shown below.
Figure: Button for Shelved Alarms
The alarm information shown on the button includes, from the left, the number of A&E
messages currently present, number of unacknowledged A&E messages, number of shelved
A&E messages, and A&E messages that remain shelved beyond the timeout period.
When a desired button associated with shelved alarms is selected, the shelved A&E
messages will be shown in the A&E Messages pane.
Types of Shelving
Three types of shelving are available.
•Continuous Shelving
•One-Shot Shelving
•Auto-Shelving
The following explains each of these shelving types.
Continuous Shelving
A&E messages identical to each A&E message specified for shelving are shelved
continuously. Any reset messages associated with these messages are also shelved
continuously.
Once the specified time elapses, CAMS for HIS notifies that A&E messages remain shelved.
Thereafter, CAMS for HIS will not shelve any of those identical messages even when they are
issued.
One-Shot Shelving
Only the A&E message specified for shelving is shelved.
Once the specified time elapses, CAMS for HIS notifies that the A&E message remains
shelved.
Auto-Shelving
Applicable alarms are shelved continuously in accordance with the filter conditions set for
these alarms specified for shelving.
Once the specified time elapses, CAMS for HIS notifies that A&E messages remain shelved.
Thereafter, CAMS for HIS will not shelve any of those identical messages even when they are
issued.
The filters that use Batch ID as criterion are not subject to Auto-Shelving.
Starting Shelving
In CAMS for HIS, shelving conditions are set for each button in the Shelves pane. To start
shelving, select an A&E message to be shelved, or a filter condition, and drag and drop it onto
a desired button.
An example of how shelving is started is shown below.
Figure: Shelving Start Operation
The following explains the operation to start each type of shelving.
•Continuous Shelving
Select an A&E message you want to shelve, and then drag and drop it onto a button of
Continuous attribute.
•One-Shot Shelving
Select an A&E message you want to shelve, and then drag and drop it onto a button of One-
Shot attribute. When A&E messages are displayed in a tree, if you select a desired message
at the top of the tree and then drag and drop it onto the desired button, all A&E messages
under the selected message will be shelved.
•Auto-Shelving
In the Filter pane, select a filter condition meeting the desired shelving purpose, and then
drag and drop the condition onto a button of Auto attribute. All A&E messages matching the
specified filter condition will be specified as the target of shelving. All new A&E messages
matching the filter condition will also be shelved.
Moreover, after selecting the A&E messages for shelving, or select the filter for shelving,
choose [Operation] - [Shelve] from menu bar and then choose a name of shelf from the list of
shelves.
Resetting Shelving
The following explains the operation to reset shelving.
1.Select the shelf icon associated with the shelving you want to reset.
2.Select an A&E message that you want to remove from the shelf, and then click the [Clear
Shelf] button in the toolbar or choose [Operation] - [Reset Shelf] from the menu bar. Or drag
and drop the message to a filter area.
However, if an A&E message stays on the shelf for too long and becomes timeout, the
message will be automatically excluded from the shelving. If the same A&E message occurs,
the message will no longer be shelved.
Timeout Notification for Shelved Alarms

If a timeout occurs for any shelved A&E message, the applicable shelf icon will change to the
alarm clock to notify the operator that shelf contains a timeout message. When the applicable
shelf icon is selected to display the content of the shelf in the A&E Messages pane, you will
see an alarm clock icon at the beginning of the timeout A&E message.
Figure: Alarm Clock Icon of the Timeout A&E Message
Extent of Shelving
The entire system or an individual user can be selected as the extent of shelving in CAMS for
HIS. However, this setting needs to be uniform within the Equalization Scope.
The following explains different extents of shelving.
•SYSTEM
Shelving applies to the entire system. Shelved A&E messages are also shelved in all
Message Monitor of CAMS for HISs within the same system.
•USER
Shelving applies to the Message Monitor of CAMS for HIS associated with the same HIS
logon user. Shelved A&E messages are also shelved in all Message Monitor of CAMS for HIS
associated with the same HIS logon user.
