Figure 28: Alarm identifier
The Alarm Identifier, illustrated in Figure 28: Alarm identifier on page 102, is used as an
Alarm Description, and contains properties for the alarm (for example, ringing time, repeat
intervals, scroll intervals if messages are chopped). These properties determine, in part,
how the alarm is displayed. Other properties include: priority of the alarm, message
length, silence interval, and so on.
• Set/Reset
Set/Reset determines if the alarm is activated or deactivated. See
SET/RESET
structure on page 103.
• Remove After
Remove After specifies what is to be done with the alarm after the eKERNEL has received
the alarm. Valid settings are as follows: Remove after sent, Remove after Reset or
Remove after Calculate. This is discussed in
SET/RESET structure on page 103.
• Message
The message coming in through an IO Module is passed directly to the device. The way
the message is displayed depends on the properties of that specific device, and the setting
in the eKERNEL_ALARM table for that specific alarm. The message coming in the Input
Module is transferred through the Input Module to the eKERNEL, and then to the Output
Device. However, after the Input Module does not receive a message from outside, you
must specify a message in the Input Module.
An example of an Input Module that does not receive a message from outside is the eIO
Module. In the eIO Module you must assign a message to a switch or button.
Figure 29:
Message assigned to a button on page 103 shows the message assigned to a button.
