8.3.10.3 Alarm type values
The table below lists the different values that the field AlType can have, depending on the type of threshold that has been stepped over by the
Tag value, depending on the configuration set in the Tag’s configuration page:
8.3.10.4 Writing Instant Values to the eWON
The instant values file can also be written to the eWON. The file must be written by FTP to the ftp root folder and must be written to the file.
All the Tags value present in the file will be used to change the corresponding Tag in the eWON. If a Tag is not found, then it will be ignored.
• Writing in binary format:
• The file format must comply exactly with the definition (see below) and all Tags are identified by their Tag ID.
• Writing in text format:
• When writing the instant value in text format, there are different possibilities to address the Tag:
• If a "TagName" column is present, then the Tags will be accessed by their name (even if a "TagId" column is present)
Example:
"TagId";"TagName";"Value";"AlStatus";"AlType"
1;"M1";10.000000;0;0
2;"M2";20.000000;0;0
If a "TagName" column is NOT present, the Tags will be accessed by their id:
"TagId";"Value";"AlStatus";"AlType"
1;10.000000;0;0
2;20.000000;0;0
WARNING:
Remember that the Tag Id is not an index, but a unique number that has been allocated to the Tag when created, and cannot be
reused unless the configuration is erased and a new configuration is created.
8.3.10.5 Binary file format
The file starts with a Header that can be represented by the following C structure:
struct InstantValueHeader
{
int Rev;
int RecSize; //Record size
int NbTag; //Number of Tags exported
int RecFlag; //Reserve (must be set to 0)
int Reserved2;
}
