Generating alarms
You can add logic to a control program to generate an alarm for the following conditions:
•
A sensor has stopped communicating
•
A sensor is not sending a valid value
Alarming for loss of communications
1
Tie the Sensor Binder microblock's
Alarm
output to an Alarm microblock. The
Alarm
output will be true when
any sensor is in alarm.
2
Add a
Delay On Make microblock to prevent nuisance alarms during startup or power failure.
Alarming for sensed values
1
To detect if a sensor's value is no longer valid, do the following:
2
Assign only one sensor to an ASVI or BSVI microblock.
3
Tie the
Valid
output to a not microblock since the valid output will be false when in alarm.
4
Attach an
Alarm microblock to notify the user if the sensor in the ASVI or BSVI microblock has gone into error.
5
Add a Delay On Make microblock to prevent nuisance alarms during startup or power failure.
See the
Microblock Reference
for details of each microblock's alarming conditions.
