5.4 Notifications
The notification window is a feature that can be accessed by pressing the date/time field in the icon bar. This
window provides a snapshot of current MCT activity. The notification window can be closed by pressing the
date/time field again, or is automatically closed if the Menu, Home or a navigation arrow icon is pressed.
A user can view all notifications by touching the screen and dragging their finger up or down on the list to
scroll through all items like other lists in MCT. The notifications include the following:
• Loop PV and SP for each loop configured.
• Monitor PV for each monitor point configured.
• Automatic program status including name of running program.
• Defrost operational status.
• Redundancy operational status.
• Active alarm status including the most recent alarm.
• Data logging status including active file name and the length and logging rate set.
• Security status including the current user.
• Audit trail active/inactive status.
• Web server active/inactive status.
• VNC server active/inactive status.
• MCT IP address.
• Available SD storage memory remaining.
The appearance of the items is based on the configuration of MCT. If defrost or redundancy functions are
disabled in the configurator for example, their status items will be removed from the list as well. If navigation
from the notifications list is enabled, pressing a single row in the list will display the screen associated with the
item. This provides an easy way to quickly access the desired item if user action is required.
NOTE: The notification items do not update while the list is shown. The information shown in the list is a
snapshot of the data at the time the window was shown. Therefore, the PV or SP shown for a loop
may not be the actual values for the loop if the notification window is left open for extended periods
of time. The notification window is not available in the offline setup.
