Equipment-to-Host Messages 3-25
3.5.2 Reporting
The Equipment reports alarms to the Host when they occur, without Host action, using the alarm report
message S5F1 or configurable option, depending on CONFIGALARMS. The transition of an ALID from
OFF to ON is referred to as “going on” or “leading edge”, and the transition from ON to OFF as “going
off ” or “trailing edge”. The Equipment reports both leading and trailing edge transitions.
The Equipment has two CEIDs for each ALID, one for the “going on” transition and one for the “going
off ” transition. In addition to the Alarm Report, the Equipment sends an Event Report if the CEID
associated with the alarm change is enabled. If the CEID is enabled and no report is defined, a “null”
Event Report is sent. The Event Report for an alarm transition is sent if it is enabled, even if the reporting
for the alarm is disabled.
3.5.3 Enable/Disable
The Host can use S5F3 (Enable/Disable Alarms) to control which alarms the Equipment should report.
Using S5F3, the Host can specify for each ALID whether the Equipment should report that alarm when it
occurs. When an alarm transition occurs, if that ALID is enabled the Equipment will send an alarm report
message to the Host. If the ALID is disabled, the Equipment will not send the alarm message. The Host
can use S2F37 to enable or disable the CEIDs associated with these alarm transitions.
The Equipment saves Alarm Enable/Disable settings on a disk file. When the Equipment powers up, it
will restore Alarm Enable/Disable settings to the same condition they had at power off.
3.5.4 Host Requests Alarm Status
The Host can use S5F5 to request the Equipment to report all alarms which exist and the ON/OFF state
for each.
The Host can use S5F7 which is similar, but which causes the Equipment to report only those alarms
(ALIDs) which are Enabled, regardless of whether the alarm is ON or OFF.
3.5.5 Compatibility
The Equipment supports the following Alarm Report message formats for older Host implementations
(refer to 1.9.3 GEM Configuration.)
• S5F71/S5F72
• S5F73/S5F74
