Data Field: A
A) Start Position [0]
B) Field Length [0]
C) Field Name []
D) Field Line Number [0]
E) Field Type [Alpha]
Start Position
This option sets the number of the characters to begin a particular alarm field starting from position 1. Field
definition is disabled if set to 0.
Field Length
Use this option to set the length of this particular alarm field.
Field Name
This option is used to set the name for the alarm field. This name must be unique, is limited to 12 characters, and
it must not contain any spaces. It can contain alphanumeric characters and the underscore, but it must start with a
letter. These field names are case sensitive. If left blank, you can refer to the field by its field letter (A, B
, etc…).
Note:
To avoid naming conflicts, the S571 does not allow duplicate field names. The S571 will respond with
“Invalid Entry, Press any key to continue” if a duplicate field name is entered.
Field Line Number
This sets the optional line number the field should be limited to in multiline records.
Field Type
This toggles between Alpha and Numeric. Alpha is used for most alphanumeric data alarming, and Numeric is
used if you need to alarm on a range of numbers. The default setting is Alpha.
Data Alarm Macro Settings
Data alarm macros provide a way to define up to 100 equations that can be used in one or more data alarm
equations. Each macro consists of an equation and an associated name that can be used to reference the macro
in a data alarm equation. They simplify the creating of data alarm events, particularly where more than one event
uses the same expression in its equation. Refer to the
Configuring and Using Data Events and Alarm Equations
