Reporting and Alarm Functions
BE1-951
Programmable Alarms Controlled by BESTlogic Elements
Virtual outputs VO13, VO14, and VO15 are driven by BESTlogic expressions and are available in the
programmable alarms function. These three virtual outputs have labels that can be assigned meaningful
names. Then, when a logic condition that is used for an alarm exists, the label will be reported in the alarm
reporting function.
Programmable Alarms Reset
Programmable alarms can be reset by any one of three methods.
&
The programmable alarms reset logic expression becomes TRUE.
&
Pressing the front panel Reset key when HMI screen 1.3 is active.
&
Using the SA-RESET command.
SA-RESET Command
Purpose:
Read or program reset logic for programmable alarms.
Syntax:
SA-RESET[=<rst alm logic>]
Comments: rst alm logic = logic used to reset the programmable alarms
Programmable alarms can be reset manually by entering SA-RESET=0. Privilege G or S
password access is required to change settings.
SA-RESET Command Example
1.
Reset the programmable alarms when contact input 3 or 4 becomes TRUE.
>SA-RESET=IN3+IN4
BESTlogic Elements Controlled by Programmable Alarms
Major, Minor, and Logic programmable alarm settings drive BESTlogic variables ALMMAJ, ALMMIN, and
ALMLGC. These variables can be used in logic expressions to control logic when the alarm is active. For
example, these variables could be used to actuate an output relay to signal a SCADA RTU that an alarm
condition exists.
HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE VERSION REPORTING
Hardware and software version reporting determines what style chart selections are included in the relay,
the relay serial number, and the version of the embedded software (firmware).
Style and serial number information is also contained on the label on the front panel. Embedded software
information can be obtained at HMI screen 4.7. The information of screen 4.7 is also displayed briefly when
operating power is applied to the relay.
A software and hardware version report is obtained using the RG-VER command.
RG-VER Command
Purpose:
Read model number, style number, serial number, and program version information.
Syntax:
RG-VER
Comments: No password privileges are required to read status information.
RG-VER Command Example
1.
Obtain a hardware and software version report from the relay.
