Alarm Report Record Format
Alarm Record Layout
The alarm processing logic in Access Manager 2000 allows you to send
the alarm notification to a user-specified alarm channel. This alarm
channel can be a serial port, printer port, or file.
You can specify alarm notification to be sent in plain English text
(verbose), terse format (ASCII-encoded binary), or Accumaster Alarm
format. The terse version is designed to be processed by other computing
equipment, with all status changes for a circuit element packed into one
notification message for alarm-activated status and another notification
message for alarm-cleared status. The plain-English version sends one
notification for each status change. It is designed to be used with a printer
and to be written to a disk file. The Accumaster format is used to send
alarms to the Accumaster Integrator system.
Plain English Alarm Notification
Access Manager prints one alarm notification for each alarm condition.
The notification has the following general format:
mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss <alarm description> at
<circuit element>
Terse Alarm Notification
The layout of the terse alarm notifications is given in Table C-1, “Terse
Alarm Message Layout,” on page C - 2.
Node types 551VST List 1/A, 551VST List 1/B, and 551VST ML List 1
do not generate alarm records. Do not use the terse alarm format for
output to printers.
