PlantWeb ™ Alerts The Resource Block will act as a coordinator for PlantWeb alerts. There will
be three alarm parameters (FAILED_ALARM, MAINT_ALARM, and
ADVISE_ALARM) which will contain information regarding some of the device
errors which are detected by the transmitter software. There will be a
RECOMMENDED_ACTION parameter which will be used to display the
recommended action text for the highest priority alarm, and a
HEALTH_INDEX parameter (0 - 100) indicating the overall health of the
transmitter. FAILED_ALARM will have the highest priority followed by
MAINT_ALARM, and ADVISE_ALARM will be the lowest priority.
FAILED_ALARMS
A failure alarm indicates a failure within a device that will make the device or
some part of the device non-operational. This implies that the device is in
need of repair and must be fixed immediately. There are five parameters
associated with FAILED_ALARMS specifically, they are described below.
FAILED_ENABLED
This parameter contains a list of failures in the device which makes the
device non-operational that will cause an alert to be sent. Below is a list of
the failures:
1. Level / Interface Measurement Failure
2. Volume / Temperature Measurement Failure
3. Electronics Failure / Transducer Block
4. Probe Missing
5. Input / Output Failure
6. Non-Volatile Memory Failure
7. Electronics Failure / Output Board
Software Incompatibility ErrorFAILED_MASK
This parameter will mask any of the failed conditions listed in
FAILED_ENABLED. A bit on means that the condition is masked out from
alarming and will not be reported.
FAILED_PRI
Designates the alerting priority of the FAILED_ALM, see “Alarm Priority”
on page I-7. The default is 0 and the recommended values are between 8
and 15.
FAILED_ACTIVE
This parameter displays which of the alarms is active. Only the alarm with
the highest priority will be displayed. This priority is not the same as the
FAILED_PRI parameter described above. This priority is hard coded within
the device and is not user configurable.
FAILED_ALM
Alarm indicating a failure within a device which makes the device
non-operational.
MAINT_ALARMS
A maintenance alarm indicates that the device or some part of the device
needs maintenance soon. If the condition is ignored, the device will eventually
fail. There are five parameters associated with MAINT_ALARMS, they are
described below.
