    Alarm & Events

    SHAILENDRA SHARMA
    CE-HMI Department
    This presention shows you how to use and configure
    the following alarm display types. These displays
    either let you view alarm displays or control how
    alarms are viewed.
    You may view maxDNA alarms from a variety of
    standard and custom
    maxSTATION graphic displays:
    • Alarm Summary
    • Alarm List
    Alarm Summary Display
    The Alarm Summary display shows filtered or unfiltered alarms (up to a
    maximum of 10,000) from all the DPU databases. By default, a single
    Alarm Summary page displays up to 20 alarms, however, the window may
    be configured to display from 1 to 40 alarms; display buttons let you page
    up and down through the full list.
    Alarm List Display
    The Alarm List display shows the most recent acknowledge and
    unacknowledged alarms (with the highest severity) of the maximum 10,000
    alarms from all the DPU databases. By default, the Alarm List displays up
    to 15 alarms, however, the window may be configured to display from 1 to
    40 alarms; the alarms appear inside a window at the lower part of the
    Vertical Toolbar.

    maxDNA System Alarm Classes:

    maxDNA System lets you view two classes of alarms:

    Process Alarms
    System Alarms
    Process Alarms
    Process alarms consist of alarm messages associated with the
    process itself.

    These consist of two types:


    Process Limit Alarms
    Process limit alarms are caused by values exceeding their
    assigned limits. Alarm information consists of time, point
    tagname and its long description, alarm text associated with the
    alarm, current value of the point, alarm limit value, and the
    units of measure for the point in alarm.
    Process Status Alarms
    Process status alarms are generated by points and programs at
    DPUs.
    Alarm information consists of time, point tagname and its long
    description, alarm type text and the alarm value.
    System Alarms
    System Alarms consist of alarm messages associated with the
    system hardware. These consist of two types:

    Station Diagnostic Alarms


    Station diagnostic alarms are caused by maxSTATION or
    Remote processing Unit (DPU, I/O boards) faults, such as weak
    batteries,card failures, etc. Alarm information consists of time,
    tagname of the station reporting the alarm, the device reporting
    the fault, and the alarm text.
    DPU Bus Network Diagnostic Alarms
    This relates to two classes of alarms, DPU Bus related (DBM-
    based systems only), and maxNET network related. DPU Bus
    network diagnostic alarms are caused by cable breaks, token
    passing errors, failure of stations to respond, etc. maxNET
    Network alarms are caused by Frame Switch failure, Ethernet
    card failures, Ethernet cable breaks, or a failed target
    maxSTATION.

    EVENT SUMMARY DISPLAY

    Access the Event Summary display to view current or


    past events and to direct event output to a printer. The
    display shows the following event
    Process alarms
    System alarms
    Operator actions
    Sequence of events
    Program generated events
    In addition to the events display log, the display includes
    a button bar appearing in the upper part of the display
    just beneath the title bar. The button bar consists of start
    and end time fields and four buttons:

    Interpreting Events Data Fields
    Events are listed on the display under the following fields:
    Time
    Date and time that the event occurred.
    A/C (Alm/Clr)
    When an unacknowledged process or system alarm is
    logged, the character string Alm appears in this three-
    character wide field. If the alarm is acknowledged or
    otherwise clears, the character string Clr appears. If the
    line applies to any other event, such as the SOE events
    shown above, the field is blank.

    text describes an attribute that was edited.

    You may change display properties to modify the display
    presentation and to filter specific events by type,
    tagname, severity, alarm types, hierarchy, text,
    description, and alternate description.
    Note: these changes only persist while the display is
    open. When you close this display, open another display,
    and then return to the Event Summary display, the
    display opens with its original default settings.
