4.3.8 MESSAGES (Cont.)
EXAMPLE
To configure Message 2 to read “The value of Chan two = (Value channel 2) & Tot one = (Value totaliser 1)”
Before configuring the message:
In channel configuration:
Set channel 2 descriptor to:
Chan two
Set Channel 2 alarm job to:
Category:
Message
Send message(s) to:
All Groups
First message:
2) Message 2
Last Message:
2) Message 2
On:
Active
In Totaliser configuration:
Set Totaliser 1 descriptor to:
Tot one
In Messages configuration:
1.
Select Message 2.
2.
Access the Symbols keyboard (section 3.3.1) and enter, without spaces,
{}={}&{}={}
3.
Access the Numeric keyboard and insert 1, 2, 3, 4 within the braces to give:
{1}={2}&{3}={4}
4.
Access the Alphabet keyboard, and insert text and spaces:
The value of
{1} = {2} & {3} = {4}
5.
Set ‘Replace {1}’ to “Source Descriptor’
6.
Set ‘Replace {2}’ to ‘Source Value’
7.
Set ‘Replace {3}’ to ‘Specified Descriptor’
8.
Set ‘{3} source’ to Tot one
9.
Set ‘Replace {4}’ to ‘Specified Value’
10. Set ‘{4} source’ to ‘Tot one’
The result of this is that, should the channel 2 alarm go active, the following message would be sent to all groups,
appear on the ‘chart’ and become part of all groups’ histories:
18/10/01 11:19:58 The value of Chan two = 6.0˚C & Tot one = 3383.8073 Units
Note: On some models, the message may be wider than the screen. If necessary, the message can be short-
ened (e.g. use 'Ch2' instead of 'Chan two'), or it can be viewed in full, either in
(section 3.2.1) or
by using Review Software, if available.
