Set up an alarm based on an enumeration

To define an enumeration in the Profile Editor, see Define an enumeration.

An example of an enumeration alarm is:

  • 0 = unknown
  • 1 = good
  • 2 = warning
  • 3 = alarm

To add an alarm that is based on an enumeration:

  1. Open the analog alarm in Power Operation.
  2. To alarm on states 0, 2, and 3:
    • Set Low = 1 (if the value < 1, the alarm indicates an unknown state)
    • Set High = 1 (if the value > 1, the alarm indicates a warning)
    • Set High High = 2 (if the value > 2, the alarm indicates an alarm)
  3. In the Category field, ensure that the correct alarm level is entered (_PLSALM_HIGH, _PLSALM_MEDIUM, _PLSALM_LOW, _PLSALM_EVENT).
  4. Replace the alarm.
