Advisory Alarms
An advisory alarm indicates informative conditions that do not have a
direct impact on the device's primary functions. There are five parameters
associated with ADVISE_ALARMS. They are described below.
ADVISE_ENABLED
The ADVISE_ENABLED parameter contains a list of informative
conditions that do not have a direct impact on the device's primary
functions. Below is a list of the advisories with the highest priority first.
1. NV Writes Deferred
2. SPM Process Anomaly detected
ADVISE_MASK
The ADVISE_MASK parameter will mask any of the failed conditions listed
in ADVISE_ENABLED. A bit on means the condition is masked out from
alarming and will not be reported.
ADVISE_PRI
ADVISE_PRI designates the alarming priority of the ADVISE_ALM, see
“Process Alarms” on page 3-12. The default is 0 and the recommended
values are 1 or 2.
ADVISE_ACTIVE
The ADVISE_ACTIVE parameter displays which of the advisories is
active. Only the advisory with the highest priority will be displayed. This
priority is not the same as the ADVISE_PRI parameter described above.
This priority is hard coded within the device and is not user configurable.
ADVISE_ALM
ADVISE_ALM is an alarm indicating advisory alarms. These conditions do
not have a direct impact on the process or device integrity.
Recommended Actions for PlantWeb Alerts
RECOMMENDED_ACTION
The RECOMMENDED_ACTION parameter displays a text string that will
give a recommended course of action to take based on which type and
which specific event of the PlantWeb alerts are active.
