State
The channel status information is shown according to how the dialer channel was setup. If it is an
analog channel, it will be the scaled value. If it is a digital channel, the label for whether it is
Opened or Closed will be displayed.
If it is a follow channel type and the state is closed, the state will be displayed in red; otherwise, it
will be displayed in black.
Runtime:Day:Hour:Minute
This tells the Runtime value of the channel. Runtime represents the total length of time that this
channel has been in a fault state.
Counter
This tells the current Counter value of the channel. Counter counts the number of transitions
from a normal state to a fault state.
Alarm Time: Day: Hour:Minute
This tells the current Time In Alarm value of the channel. Time In Alarm represents the current
length of time that this channel has been in a fault state.
Latch
For a Call On Alarm Input channel, it tells if an alarm state is currently latched in or not. If so,
‘Yes’ will be shown. For a Digital Output channel, it tells if the output is a latched or a
momentary output. If it is a latched output channel, it will show ‘Yes’.
Reset Cnts: This resets the counter and the runtime back to zero.
