Alarm Logs (DCD Disk Log)
Below is a sample alarm log. Running down the right hand side is the log name (which is the date), navigation
buttons, a button to select a different log for viewing, the page indicator for the currently viewed log, a print
button and an exit button.
The purpose for the alarm log is to provide a chronological history of events related to the system. These
recorded “events” can indicate alarms, diagnostic information, or just out of tolerance conditions as defined by
the user.
During the detailed port configuration process events are configured and their destinations determined. One of
these destinations is the daily alarm or disk log.
Events can appear in any of four colors:
Red = Alarm
Yellow = Fault
Green = Alarm/Fault; Return to normal
White = Non-critical event
NOTE
Events configured as “white” that also go to the alarm printer will print in “black”.
The log is formatted in three columns, the first contains the event name, the second indicates the time, and date
is displayed in column three.
