Introduction

1.1

Introduction to the Graphic Operator Station - GOS

The Graphic Operator Station (GOS) is the operator interface to control and supervision of the machinery components, and the GOS is also the interface to alarm handling in the UCS2100 system. The GOS is based on what is known as a 'Window environment' in computer language. This refers to the fact that the screen can be divided into several areas (windows), and that the composition of the visible windows can be decided to a certain degree by the operator. In addition to the main windows, the system makes use of Dialogue-boxes also, i.e. small windows which pop up on the screen, and are used for both presenting information to the user as well as enabling the user to control the system. The basic concept of the GOS operation is the one that although the GOS is equipped with a full keyboard for text and numbers, the operator has to use it for very few functions only. Almost any function can be carried out by using the mouse or the tracker ball alone. Although the operation, in this way, is kept quite simple is does not limit the users in access to information in any way. In fact, the system can present information where sophisticated diagnostic equipment operated by specialists was needed earlier. However, because the UCS 2100 System guides the user through all of the operations he is able to control even the most advanced features after a just few hours of practice.

1.2

The GOS components

The GOS which you operate is a Personal Computer (PC) mounted either in a desk or built into a console. But the operation is the same for both types. The only differences could be the size of the screen and the type of the pointing device. The parts of the GOS are the computer, the screen, the keyboard, and the pointing device. The computer is the central component, but you do not concern yourself with this as all of the programs are stored 'inside' (on hard disk and ROM).

The screen operates in graphic mode at all times (Standard VGA), and any mix of graphic and text information can be presented simultaneously. The keyboard is a standard PC keyboard. In addition to the letter and number keys the keyboard is also equipped with 12 function keys, some of which are used for dedicated purposes in connection with the GOS operation. The pointing device which is used to move the pointing arrow around the screen can be either a tracker ball or a mouse. The tracker ball is permanently mounted into the console and presents one or two buttons and a ball. When rolling the ball with the hand the movement is transferred to the arrow on the screen. The button is used to select/activate the item or function pointed at on the screen. The mouse is a standard PC-mouse which is operated in the same way as the tracker ball.

An optional printer which is used for printing reports can be connected directly to the GOS.

General GOS lay out

The display is divided into two main parts: A header window and a working area window. The header window is always present and displays the Header Diagram for the actual operator station. The working area window displays selectable diagrams which are used to control and supervise the machinery components, e.g. alarm lists or mimic diagrams. When the GOS is powered up the working area window will display the Main Menu Diagram from which you can get access to the other diagrams and lists in the system. In addition to the two main windows there are a caption bar in the top of the screen displaying the date and time, and a menu bar from where various functions of the GOS can be controlled.

Caption:

In the Caption the date and time is displayed, date and time can be displayed as UTC time or as Local time. Additionally the it is possible to indicate the type of time, UTC, LT (local time) or actual time zone.

Menu Bar:

In the Menu Bar various drop down menus can be activated, these menues are used to operate some of the functions of the GOS. The Header Window can contain different header diagrams, the actual header diagram is selected automatically depending of the alarm system definition for the location of the GOS. The header diagram displays important information from the alarm system(s) related to the GOS, such as number of alarms, number of unacknowledged alarms, watch location and duty officer. And most important the oldest unacknowledged alarm The header diagram also includes short cuts (selection buttons) to some often used functions e.g. the Main Menu Diagram, the Alarm List, Stop Horn and Acknowledge.

Working Area:

The working area can contain many different lists or diagrams, the most important is listed below: Lists: Alarm List Alarm Group Failure Lists (sensor fail, device fail) Suppression Lists (cut out, simulated) Journals

Diagrams: Mimic Diagram Function Block Diagram Graph Diagram Bargraph Diagram

2.1

Operating the GOS

Although the operation is very simple, a few rules must be observed when operating the GOS. A diagram on the screen consists of a static background drawing with some dynamic objects to indicate alarms, measurements and states for machinery components. Some of these dynamic objects are also active areas form which an action can be carried out, this action can e.g. be to open another diagram, to acknowledge an alarm or to send a command to a machinery component. On the screen is a pointing device, shown as an arrow, this pointing arrow is from now on called the cursor. The cursor can be moved around the screen with the tracker ball. The cursor is used for pointing out active areas in the screen diagrams. The cursor (tip of the arrowhead) must be placed inside the active area in order to open a new diagram or select an object to give commands to a machinery component. The active area is indicated by a frame when the cursor is inside the area. Most operations are performed by using the tracker ball (or a mouse). The tracker ball includes a ball, when this ball is rolled the cursor moves around in the screen. The tracker ball also includes tree buttons ( left, centre and right ), only the left and right buttons are used. A short press on the button will activate the desired action, this is called to click the button. In the following left click means to click the left button, and right click means to click the right button. When the cursor is in an active area, an action can be carried out by a click with one of the buttons. If the active area is an open a new diagram area the matching diagram will be opened by a left click. If the active area is a machinery component object a left click will open the command menu for this machinery component, and a command can be send by a new left click on the desired command text. If the active area is indicating an alarm a right click will open alarm menu, and if

2.2 2.2.1

Description of lists and diagrams in the GOS Header Diagram

The header diagram contains important information for the alarm system/systems that this GOS has access to. The UCS2100 system can have from 1 to 4 alarm systems, e.g. one for machinery alarms and one for cargo alarms. Each GOS can have access to one or more of these alarm systems. Depending of the location of the GOS it defined which alarm systems should be available, this definition is made during commissioning and can not be changed by the operator. Besides alarm system information the header also includes shortcuts to some of the most used diagrams. The shortcuts are shown as Windows buttons, a left click on the button will open the matching diagram. The header also includes a button for Stop Horn , a red symbol indicates that the horn are active, a left click on the button will silence the horn. The header also includes a button for Acknowledge , a red symbol indicates that an unacknowledged alarm is existing. A left click on the button will acknowledge the oldest unacknowledged alarm, the alarm text for this alarm is also shown in the bottom line of the header. It is only possible to acknowledge alarms which is visible. The horn and acknowledge buttons will only function and indicate active state if this GOS is watch station for the alarm system of the new alarm. Below is shown the layout of the 4 different headers:

Fig. 2.2.1-2: GOS Header with two alarm systems.

W hen the header includes two alarm systems the upper part of the header is divided in 3 columns the first (left side) is the legend for the information, the second column contains information from first alarm system and the third column contain information for the second alarm system. When the header includes more than one alarm system it has two lines of oldest unacknowledged alarm , the upper is for the passive alarm system(s) and the lower is for the active alarm system(s). Passive alarm systems means the alarm systems that this GOS has access to but are not watch station for. Active alarm systems means the alarm systems that this GOS is watch station for (are able to acknowledge). When the header includes tree alarm systems the upper part of the header is divided in 4 columns the first (left side) is the legend for the information, the second column contains

Fig. 2.2.1-3: GOS Header with tree alarm systems.

information from first alarm system, the third column contain information for the second alarm system and the fourth column contain information for the third alarm system.

When the header includes four alarm systems the upper part of the header is divided in 5 columns the first (left side) is the legend for the information, the second column contains

Fig. 2.2.1-4: GOS Header with four alarm systems.

information from first alarm system, the third column contain information for the second alarm system, the fourth column contain information for the third alarm system, and the fifth column contain information for the fourth alarm system.

2.2.2

Main Menu Diagram

The Main Menu is the overview diagram in top of the diagram hierarchy, form this

diagram there is connection to all other mimic diagrams in the system. Depending of the size of the system (number of diagrams) it is possible to open mimic diagrams and alarm groups directly from the Main Menu diagram or to open other overview diagrams for smaller parts of the system. Each alarm group, mimic diagram and sub-overview diagram is indicated by an active area in the Main Menu diagram, the active area normally looks like this: . To open the matching diagram make a left click on the square or on the text. If there is an unacknowledged alarm in the matching diagram the square will flash red, and if there is acknowledged alarms and no unacknowledged alarms in the matching diagram the square will turn to steady red. The layout of the Main Menu diagram is normally like shown in Fig. 2-1, but the layout can be different due to requests from the customer during commissioning of the system.

2.2.3

Alarm List
An Alarm List is a list of all standing alarms, both acknowledged and unacknowledged, in the alarm system. The UCS2100 system can include from 1 to 4 alarm systems (e.g. Machinery Alarms and Bridge Alarms), each alarm system has its own alarm list. One alarm is taking up one line in the alarm list. The alarms are sorted after starting time, so the oldest alarm is in the top and the newest alarm is in the bottom of the list. If the alarm is more than 24 hours old the starting time is exchanged with the starting date.
Identifier for the alarm, max. 8 characters. Description of the alarm, max. 30 characters. Alarm state:

ALM (standing alarm) NORM (no alarm) FAIL (sensor fail or device fail) Message text for the current alarm state Current value for analog alarms Starting time for the alarm

Fig. 2.2.3-1: Alarm List

Acknowledge all alarms on the current page of the alarm list. Red when enabled. Acknowledge one selected alarm. Red when enabled. Scroll buttons( page up / page down). Update list, only used to remove acknowledge alarms when normal again. Select a new Alarm System.

Page 11 of 53 2001.06.01

The alarm list can display all alarms defined in the alarm system. Normally up to 20 alarm lines can be shown on the screen, if the actual number of alarms is greater than this it is indicated in the bottom of the list. Indicates that alarm number 1-20 (the 20 oldest alarms) is displayed on the screen right now and that there totally are 45 alarms. The rest of the alarms can be seen by scrolling in the alarm list using the <Page Up> and <Page Down> keys or by making a left click on one of the scroll buttons: . The colour of the text in the alarm list is normally green, except for the State text, the colour of the State text is controlled by the priority of the alarm, for priority 1 the colour is red, for priority 2 the colour is magenta and for priority 3 the colour is yellow. The State text is flashing as long as the alarm is unacknowledged. A right click on an alarm line will bring up a small menu with two texts, Display Channel, and Acknowledge. The Acknowledge text is disabled (not possible to select, shown in grey) if the alarm is acknowledged, if the horn is not silenced or if this GOS does not have the rights to acknowledge the alarm. If the Acknowledge text is enabled ( possible to use, shown in black) you can acknowledge the alarm by making a left click on the Acknowldge text. A left click on the Display Channel text will open the Display Channel diagram for this alarm channel. The Display Channel diagram shows detailed information for the alarm channel setup, such as alarm delay, alarm limits, connection terminals, cut out and simulation status, some of the setup can also be changed from the Display Channel diagram e.g. delays and limits. In the following the lay out of the alarm line is described for the different states of an alarm. A: New unacknowledged alarm. The alarm line marked A in fig. 2.1.1 is a new unacknowledged alarm which started at 10:14:13, the State text is flashing read. The alarm can be acknowledged by left clicking on the button, this will also acknowledge all other unacknowledged alarms visible in the current page of the alarm list. Note that alarms can not be acknowledged as long as the horn is sounding. B: New unacknowledged alarm, selected. The alarm line marked B in fig. 2.1.1 is a new unacknowledged alarm that has been selected by a left click somewhere on the line, the selected alarm is indicated by a blue background colour. A selected alarm can be acknowledged by left clicking on the button, this will only affect the selected alarm. Note that alarms can not be acknowledged as long as the horn is sounding.

C:

Unacknowledged alarm that has turned normal again.

Page 12 of 53 2001.06.01

The alarm line marked C is a unacknowledged alarm that has turned normal again. This state is indicated by removing the start time and the state text is changed to NORM but still flashing. The alarm can be acknowledged by left clicking on the button or the button, as described in A or B. Note that alarms can not be acknowledged as long as the horn is sounding. D: Standing alarm The alarm line marked D is a standing acknowledged alarm, the State text is steady red, and the starting of the alarm is indicated as hh:mm:ss.c 10:12:22.0. E: Standing alarm, older than 24 hours The alarm line marked E is a standing acknowledged alarm , the State text is steady red, and the starting time is indicated as yyyy/mm/dd, 1999/01/23, this is the starting date of the alarm. If needed the time can be found in the Event Log. F: Alarm that has turned normal again. The alarm line marked F in fig. 2.1.1 is an acknowledged alarm that has turned normal again. This is indicated by grey text, the State text NORM and no starting time indication. This line is not removed automatically as this could cause confusion when the other lines are moving while you are looking at it. The line is removed if you left click on the button, if another page are selected or if the alarm list is closed.

2.2.4

Alarm Groups
An Alarm Group list is a list of all alarms included in this group, independent of the alarm state. The UCS2100 system can have up to 100 alarm groups. The layout of the list and the alarm lines are the same as for the Alarm List, but the list is sorted alphabetically after the ID. Alarms in an Alarm Group can have more states than in the Alarm List, because some of the states of the alarm channel is moved to separate lists e.g. Cut Out List or List of Simulated channels. The possible states (state texts) for an alarm channel in a Alarm Group are listed below: state - NORM - ALM - ALM appearance steady green flashing red steady red description The alarm channel in normal sate i.e. no alarms and no failures. Unacknowledged alarm, priority 1. Acknowledged standing alarm, priority 1.

Unacknowledged alarm for sensor fail. Acknowledged sensor fail, outside normal range. Alarm channel with standing alarm, where the alarm is suppressed by a Cut Out. Some of the UCS2100 hardware for this channel is not working. I.e. hardware failure in the Gamma PLC outstation, or power failure in the Gamma outstation, or failure in the network between the GOS and the Gamma outstation. In this state the hole line in the list is displayed steady white.

- NORM/CA steady blue - ? steady white

All state texts can be extended with a S in the beginning, e.g. S NORM or S ALM. This S indicates that the alarm channel is in simulation mode, in simulation mode the displayed value is manually keyed in, and has no connection to the input from the sensor.

2.2.5

Additional Lists
Additional lists is a set of lists for alarm channels in a certain state, there is one set of additional lists for each alarm system. The layout of the Additional lists is the same as for the Alarm List. Additional lists include the following lists: Suppression Lists - Simulated channels - Automatic Suppressed - Manual Suppressed Failure Lists - Device Fail List List of all channels with device fail (hardware fail in the Gamma PLC or power fail to the Gamma PLC). List of all channels that are in simulation mode. List of all channels that are suppressed by automatic cut out. List of all channels that are manually suppressed (manual cut out).

Additional Lists has the same layout as the Alarm List and Alarm Group Lists and the operation of the list is the same, i.e. it is possible to acknowledge alarms and open the Display Channel diagram.

2.2.6

Display Channel Diagram

The Display Channel diagram shows detailed information of an alarm channel, and it is also possible to adjust some parameters for the alarm channel, these adjustments are protected by password level 1. The Display Channel diagram are divided in smaller areas matching the various functions that are available. The layout of the Display Channel diagram is shown below for a binary alarm channel and for an analog channel.

The various functions in the Display Channel diagram are described below: - The top line is the same line as displayed in the Alarm Group / Alarm List for this alarm. This line includes ID for the alarm channel, description, alarm state, message text, value (only for analogue channels) and start time for the alarm (if active). - Configuration includes: Type: Alarm System: Outstation: Addr.: analog / binary The name of the Alarm System that this alarm channel belongs to. The name of the outstation where the Gamma PLC is located. The address (unit number) for the Gamma PLC on the Stella Network.

- Alarm Groups: Each alarm channel can be included in 0 to 4 alarm groups. The alarm groups which this alarm is included in is indicated in the Alarm Group field. If a left click is made on the button at the right of the name of the alarm group, the matching Alarm Group diagram is opened.

- Channel Parameters: Limit: Binary alarm channels has only one limit. Analog alarm channels has from 1 to 3 limits, if more than one limit is active at the same time, the message text for the highest number will be displayed in the Alarm List. Type: Message: Prio.: binary / low limit / high limit. Displays the message text that is defined for this limit, defined during commissioning. Priority of the alarm channel, 1 - 3 for alarms and 4 for event. Priority is used to select the colour of the state text and indication in mimic diagrams, priority 1 is red, priority 2 is magenta, priority 3 is yellow and priority 4 white. The priority is also used to select which alarm to include in the alarm list if Only priority 1 alarms or Only priority 1 + 2 alarms are selected in the Additional List dialogue. Alarms with priority 4 is not shown in the alarm list, but can be included in an alarm group and shown on a mimic diagram. Value: Limit value for analog channels, not used for binary channels. The adjust dialogue can be opened by a left click on the button at the end of the line. Delay on/off: Delay on is the time from the limit is exceeded (analog) or the input is activated (binary) till the alarm is announced by horn and displayed in the alarm list. Delay off is the time from the limit is no longer exceeded (analog) or the input is passivated (binary) till the alarm removed from the alarm list. The adjust dialogue can be opened by a left click on the button at the end of the line. M.cut: Manual cutout indicates a ON if the alarm is suppressed by a manual cutout. This feature can be uses if there is a sensor fail or the machinery system is under repair to avoid false alarms. Manual cutout can be switched on and off from the adjust dialogue, this can be opened by a left click on the button at the end of the line. Normally cutout for all limits of the alarm channel is done from limit 1, and the on/off text is only displayed for limit 1. But in some cases there can be separated cut out for each limit this is indicated by a on/off text in each limit.

- Channel Calculation: In the channel calculation field is displayed which signal are used to calculate the state of the alarm channel. For analog channels 1 - 3 inputs signals can be used, a main signal, one signal that are added to the main signal and one signal that are subtracted from the main signal. For binary channels 1 or 2 signals can be used, the calculated signal is a logical operation between the two signals, AND, OR, XOR and XNOR can be used. Each signal is specified in one line with the following information: Signal: Indicates how this signal shall be used in the calculation, Main, Add, Subtract analog channels, and Main, NOT, AND, OR, XOR or XNOR for binary channels. Indicates the type of signal, the following types are available sensor input, another monitoring channel, constant, serial input, SLS point and an alarm group. The ID and name for the signal.

Standard Function Block Diagrams

A Standard Function Block Diagram is a diagram divided in 12 rectangles, each rectangle represents one Standard Function Block which is matching one machinery component. Dynamic information from a machinery component (pump, valve etc.) is displayed as a standard function block. A standard function block consists of one or more dynamic objects. A dynamic object indicates the state or value of the machinery component either by a graphic symbol called an icon, by a text or by a numeric value. There are two main types of objects: - Digital object: Used to indicate the state of a machinery component e.g. a pump. A digital object can indicate a number of different states e.g. stopped and running. A digital object can display one static indication and two dynamic indications in the diagram. The static part is the ID/Name of the object (machinery component). Both dynamic indications shows the actual state of the machinery component. One shows the state as a text, and the other as an icon, the icon changes graphical appearance and colour depending of the state. An alarm is indicated by a red background for the icon.

A stopped pump (magenta)

A running pump (green)

The tree indications (name, state and icon) can be displayed all together, only two of them or only one of them. On Standard Function Block diagrams we normally display all tree. From a digital object it is possible to send commands to the machinery component. Both name, state text and the icon are active areas, a left click on one of these areas will open a command menu, with the available commands shown as text. A left click on one of the command texts will send this command to the machinery component.

- Analog object:

Used to indicate a numeric value of a measurement or an adjustable value in the Gamma PLC. A analog object can display one static indication and two dynamic indications in the diagram. The static part is the ID/Name of the object (measurement). Both dynamic indications shows the actual value of the measurement. One shows the value as a number, and the other as an graphic symbol e.g. a bargraph or a pie. The tree indications (name, value and graphic symbol) can be displayed all together, only two of them or only one of them. On Standard Function Block diagrams we normally display all tree.

A Standard Function Block normally consists of more objects e.g. there are 3 for a pump. - one object showing the actual state, stopped/running and failure. - one object showing the control mode, local/remote/automatic. - one object showing if there are interlocks or the pump is blocked due to a failure. Below is an example of the layout for a Standard Function Block diagram including function blocks for pumps, standby pumps, valves and tank measurements.

2.2.8

Mimic Diagrams
A mimic diagram shows a part of the machinery system with a static background drawing and dynamic objects representing the machinery components and measurements of the system. Mimic diagrams are use to give a better overview for a part of the machinery system e.g. the fuel oil supply, this is achieved by placing the machinery component object on a background drawing (e.g. a pipeline diagram) showing the interaction between the various components. The dynamic objects are normally Standard Function Blocks but also customized objects can exist. On mimic diagram normally only the icon for digital objects and the value for analog objects are shown. This is because indication of the names and state texts will make the diagram crowded and harder to overview, and the function of the object can be seen from the diagram. The identifier for the objects can be shown by a click on the object.

2.2.9

Control Right Diagrams

The UCS2100 system includes a Control Right Function for machinery components (function blocks). This function is an option and may not be included in all UCS2100 systems. The control right function will allow a machinery component (e.g. a pump, a valve or a set point for a controller) to be controlled only from one location (e.g. ECR or Bridge) at a time. This means that if the control right for a certain machinery component is assigned to the ECR, control of this component is blocked from GOSes in any other location of the ship. Control from the LOP (Local Operator Panel) (if these option is included) is not influenced by the control right system, it is always possible if groups from panels control If there is more than one GOS in one location they will have equal rights, as control right is assigned to the location and not to a specific GOS. The machinery components are classified in machinery groups, and control right for all components in one machinery group is always assigned to the same location. Control right for different machinery groups can be assigned to the same or to different locations. The control right for one machinery group can be switched among the different locations. The control right system can handle up to 5 different control location and up to 50 machinery groups. It is during customizing defined for each machinery group which locations that are valid control location for this machinery group. Change over of the control right for a machinery group to a new location is done from the new location without any change over procedure, this means that only the new control location needs to be manned. The benefits of having no change over procedure is that if only one engineer is on duty he can walk around the ship and switch over the control right to the location where he is right now, it means also that switching of control right can be done if the GOS on the old control location is out of order or the location is blocked due to e.g. a fire. If the new location is not a valid location for this machinery group switching of the control right is not possible. When control of a machinery component is required a left click on the component will open a pop-up menu with the available commands shown in black text, if the right to control this component is currently not assigned to this location the commands are shown in greyed text and can not be selected.

Pump where control is possible.

Overview of the actual control locations can be seen from the Control Right Change Over mimic diagram, this diagram can be opened by a left click on the Control Right button in the header. From this diagram it is also possible to change the control location for the machinery groups. The Control Right Change Over diagram includes a table where the number of columns are determined by the number of control locations and the number of rows is determined by the number of machinery groups in the control right system. The leftmost column shows the name of the machinery group, column number two shows the actual selected control location, and then there is one column for each control location. In the columns for the control locations there is a button if this control location is valid for the machinery group in this row. Change over of control location for a machinery group is carried out by making a left click on the button placed in the row for the machinery group and the column for the new control location. Fig. 2.2.9-1 shows an example of a Control Right Change Over diagram. In this example there is 9 machinery groups (PMS, AUX ENGINES, BALLAST TANKS etc.) in the control right system and there is 4 control locations (ECR, Ships Office, Bridge and Cargo). For example is the Power Management System (PMS) currently controlled from the ECR. Valid control location for the PMS is ECR and Ships Office. To change the control of PMS from ECR to Ships Office simply make a left click on the Ships Office button in the row for the PMS machinery group. Then the name in the column Actual Control Location will change from ECR to Ships Office, control from ECR will be disabled and control from Ships Office will be enabled.

2.2.10 Journals
A Journal is a list or a set lists of monitoring channels. A Journal has the same layout as the Alarm List. The content of this list can be defined online by the operator. One Journal can consist of up to 10 pages, each with 32 monitoring channels. Up to 15 different Journals can be defined. Journals are unique for each operator station, this means that the total number of possible journals are 15 multiplied with the number of operator stations in the system. It means also that journals defined on one operator station can not be seen on the other operator stations.

Example of one page from a journal.

Journals can be use for display on the screen or for printing on a printer connected to the operator station. Printout of journals can be handled manually or automatically. Automatically printout can be either cyclic or at predefined times. Automatic printout is only possible on a tractor feed printer. However Journals can be printed manually to either a tractor feed printer or a graphical printer.

2.2.11 Spare Channels

Input modules are equipped with 8, 16 or 32 inputs and in most installations there is normally some input channels that are not used, these channels are called spare channels. As an option it is possible to activate spare channels. Activate means to connect a physical switch or analog sensor to the input channel and create a monitoring channel (alarm) for this switch or sensor. Activation can be done in the running system, and the new channel will be working immediately without restart of the PLC or operator station. Binary switches can be either NO (normally open) or NC (normally closed). Input from analog sensors can be current (mA), voltage, Pt100, potentiometer, NiCrNi or FeCo, but note that only sensor types that already are included in the system can be used, it is not possible to define new sensor types in the running system. Activation of spare channel is started from the Maintenance windows, by clicking on the Spare Channel button.

If the spare channel option is not included in the system the Spare Channel button will be greyed, and then spare channels can not be activated in the running system.

2.3.14 Change definition of alarm channels, e.g. name, texts and scaling.
From the operator station it is possible to make some changes in definition of alarm channels online. The parameters that can be changed are: - Name of the channel - Membership of Alarm System - Membership of Alarm Groups - Input definition NO or NC for binary channels - Input scaling block for analog channels - Message text - Alarm priority For some channels some of the parameters are locked e.g. if the channel is used by the control system. Changes in a channel will be active immediately after closing the definition window by clicking the OK button. The changes will be transferred to the other operator stations and the PLCs (for printer and panel indication). Changes can be uploaded by a service engineer and imported in the system database, also changes of alarm limits, delays and hour counter values can be uploaded and imported. This means that changes will not get lost in case of a new generation and download of the database. NB: Changes are not included in the backup of the PLC code that is present on the operator stations. This means that changes will be lost if a PLC is loaded from the SystemStatus diagram on the operator station, e.g. after replacement of faulty PLC. On the other hand this can also be use to clean up a system if some unsuccessful changes have been made. Because of this it is important to write down all changes made online, so you are able to remake the changes in case of a new download is needed. Changes in alarm channel definition. - Open the Display Channel Diagram for the channel in question, se section 2.3.7. - Click on the Edit button below will be opened. in the toolbar in the bottom of the window, the diagram
