4.4 ASSIGNING AREA, PRIORITY AND LEGENDS
The Micro-PWC product and OPC Server expect that tagged modules contain several parameters which
are not defined in Micro-DCI instruments. These parameters may be configured using the Configure Auxil-
iary Atoms dialog which may be called up from the tag context menu. These parameters are:
LEGEND A legend of up to 32 characters can be configured to describe this
tag in more detail. When a process alarm is displayed on the Micro-
PWC or OPC Client, the legend will be included.
AREA If this tag generates a process alarm, it can be assigned to one of
255 areas. Micro-PWC and many OPC Clients allow sorting of
alarms based on their area.
PRIORITY If this tag generates a process alarm, it is assigned a priority level
from 1 to 16. The priority determines the importance of an alarm and
the position in which it is displayed in the Mini-Alarm window. The
priority also determines the color in which the alarm is presented to
the user, and the type of audible alarm which accompanies it. Priority
1 is the highest priority.
ALARM DISPLAY
PANEL If this tag generates a process alarm on Micro-PWC, the alarm can
be assigned to one of 256 Alarm Display Panels. Setting the value to
0 removes it from all groups.
✎ NOTE These Auxiliary atoms are stored in a Microsoft Access database called
udciaux.mdb located in the udci directory.
- Copy this file to the udci directory of a designated Backup Micro-PWC node.
- Backup this file along with the instrument database and program files.
