Action Algorithms
Action algorithms initiate some action when the PV of the point to which they are
attached changes. Action algorithms are processed whenever the PV of a point
changes.
For example, say you needed to run a report when a status point changes to a
certain state. You could attach the Status Change Report Request algorithm to the
status point, and the report would be requested when the status point changed to
a nominated state.
The following action algorithms are available:
• Composite Alarm Initiation (Algo#11)
• Down Time Analysis (Algo#65)
• Value Transportation (Algo#68)
• Status Change Task Request (Algo#69)
• Status Change Report Request (Algo#70)
• Queued Task Request (Algo#71)
• Status Change USKB LED Request (Algo#74)
• Status Point Notification (Algo#75)
• Analog Point Notification (Algo#76)
• Status Change Display Request (Algo#77)
• Group Control of Points (Algo#78)
• Status Change Alarm Group Inhibit (Algo#79)
• Status Change Alarm Area Inhibit (Algo#80)
