Event notification
An Event Enrollment object also monitors the status flag property of an object with referenced property. If
the FAULT flag of the referenced object is set, the Event Enrollment object generates a Fault alarm.
Loop object
Alarm response
The Loop object contains intrinsic reporting.
An OFFNORMAL alarm occurs when:
● [XCtr] exceeds the limit (SetPoint + ErrorLimit) longer than the specified time (HIGH_LIMIT) defined in
variable [TiMonDvn]
● [XCtr] drops below the limit (SetPoint – ErrorLimit) longer than the specified time (LOW_LIMIT) defined
in variable [TiMonDvn]
An existing OFFNORMAL alarm (HIGH_LIMIT) disappears again when [XCtr] drops below the value
(SetPoint + ErrorLimit – Deadband) longer than the specified time defined in variable [TiMonDvn].
An existing OFFNORMAL alarm (LOW_LIMIT) disappears again when [XCtr] exceeds the value (SetPoint –
ErrorLimit + Deadband) longer than the specified time defined in variable [TiMonDvn].
FAULT alarm:
● A FAULT alarm occurs immediately as soon as [Rlb] of the function block has a value other than
NO_FAULT_DETECTED. This is true in particular when [Rlb] changes from a value that is not equal to
NO_FAULT_DETECTED to another value that is not equal to NO_FAULT_DETECTED.
● A FAULT alarm disappears immediately as soon as [Rlb] of the function block changes again from a
value that is unequal to NO_FAULT_DETECTED to the value NO_FAULT_DETECTED.
9.5 Alarm functions
Depending on the type and degree of urgency of the alarm, the system user may be required to
acknowledge a change in the alarm state with an explicit operator action.
Acknowledgement
There are two types of acknowledgement:
