This screen is concerned with the monitoring mode of the master or slave units. This facility
causes system faults to be reported to a dumb terminal or printer whilst the operator is logged
out.
Monitoring mode is a special mode that can operate when the user has logged off. It is
designed to connect to a printer or an unattended terminal. As alarms and faults are detected
they are printed on the screen (one line per fault). Over time a complete list of faults will
be seen.
Should the VT100 terminal remain connected whilst logged out, and provided that certain
options (in the Configuration > Monitoring Screen) have been set, warning messages
indicating alarm conditions will be displayed. These warning messages may be accompanied
by an audible beep.
The VT100 terminal may at this point be replaced by a printer with a serial interface, allowing
hard copy of all alarms to be obtained.
It is envisaged that a dumb terminal may be left continuously connected to the master or slave
after the operator has logged out. This mode may then be used to register the indication of
alarms externally. The dumb terminal may be used to report alarm situations. These external
indications would consist of warning messages and/or alarm bells.
Format of warnings displayed in Monitor Mode is as follows:
ELU:F4:Line - Loss of Recovered Clock ON:Thu 01 Jan 2002 00:27:57
NTU:F5:User Port - Input Signal Loss OFF:Thu 01 Jan 2002 00:27:59
The format should match that used to display the fault in the VTMS Menu System status line.
Note: The fault log can also be viewed and printed from the Alarms->History menu - as
shown in section 7.1.2.
