Appendix C Alarms
C.1 Overview
Since the number of alarms that Fluidmove reports to SECS/GEM is constantly growing, each individual
alarm will not be listed here. The alarm section of the GWGEM GCD file is automatically generated from
the Fluidmove source code using a custom software tool. Use the SECS/GEM message S5F5 to retrieve a
list of all alarms currently reported by your version of Fluidmove.
C.2 Alarm Format
The format for each alarm is described below:
ALID Alarm ID. This number is the same as the resource identification
number used by Fluidmove.
ALCD Alarm Severity Code. The low-order 7-bits of ALCD specifies the
severity code. The high-order bit (bit-8) shows the current alarm state
(1=SET, 0=CLEAR). Currently all Fluidmove errors have a default
severity code of 64.
ALTX Alarm Text. This is the actual string sent to the Host in the Alarm
Report (S5F1) and is a truncated version (first 40 characters) of the
resource item used by Fluidmove.
ON CEID This is the Collection Event that is signaled when the alarm state
changes from CLEAR to SET ("going-on"). For all of the Fluidmove
errors the event is FMWError.
OFF CEID This is the Collection Event that is signaled when the alarm state
changes from SET to CLEAR ("going-off"). For all of the Fluidmove
errors the event is FMWErrorCleared.
C.3 Alarms
Table C-1 provides some examples of common alarms and how the ALID, ALCD, ALTX, and ON/OFF
CEIDs related to them.
