Appendix C – Alarms
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.
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.
Table C-1 provides some examples of common alarms and how the ALID, ALCD, ALTX, and ON/OFF
CEIDs related to them.
