Faceplates
Faceplates for a remote provider system work in the same way as a faceplate for a
local object. The name and the tool-tip will show the object name with the provider
system name.
Trends
Object Trends for Advant Master only shows the object name.
Trends for a remote provider system work in the same way as a trend for local
objects, but with the name and the tool-tip changed the same way as for faceplates
and process displays.
If a trim curve from a remote system displays values in the past or in the future there
probably is a problem with the time synchronization between the subscriber and
provider. See
Appendix B, Fault Tracing for details of how to check the difference.
Alarm and Events
Alarm operations can be performed from the subscriber system, or the provider
system. Operations done in the provider system will also affect the subscriber
system.
Alarm operations include:
• Acknowledge
• Alarm comments
• Enable/disable conditions
• Global silence
• Remove alarm (used with the “Keep inactive-acknowledged alarms” feature)
