7.1 Overview
Profit-Optimizer
Generated
Messages
Profit Optimizer generates three kinds of messages apart from the messages
generated by the LCN software: (1) Help messages and error-on-input messages,
(2) CDS parameter descriptions, and (3) Software messages (see Figure 7-1).
Some messages are written to the system Message Summary (touch <MSG
SUMM> on the console to display).
Profit Optimizer itself does not generate alarms on error. Alarms are handled by
the LCN software and the advanced process control design.
Examples
Table 7-1 explains the three kinds of Profit Optimizer messages and tells you
where they display.
