Hardware alarm indication

Michael

There are some limited hardware alarms that I would like to display for the operator.  Is there a way to read the particular alarms and trigger another category?  I don't want all of the hardware alarms inthe general list, but I would like to alarm if a particular standby (or primary) I/O server has lost communications.  I may just be looking at this from the wrong angle.

  • I think Olivier's answer fits your issue the best.

    Howerver, if you don't want to configure extra alarms you could also take a look at the Citect.ini parameter [Alarm]HwExclude.
    This parameter filters out all hardware alarms you don't want to evaluate, leaving only comm-issues in the list in your case.

    There are 2 downsides to this approach:
    - Excluded hardware alarms are not presented anywhere anymore, including the standard hardware alarm page.
    - You probably have to exclude a lot of alarm codes, maybe more than will fit in the parameter string
