identifier determines the final destination. The incoming group identifier

must match a group identifier in the Groups functional block, which

contains one or more output destinations (that is, the group members).

The group members are the devices assigned to a Group.

Figure 5 "eCONFIG" (page 21) shows the main window of eCONFIG with

an example of an input module (the application programming interface

[eAPI]). The eAPI input module is found in eCONFIG in the

Modules

> eAPI menu. Select the instance of the module as it appears on your

screen (in this example, the menu selection is Modules > eAPI > API -

area IBS 1). Each input module displays different properties.

eCONFIG

The following explanations relate to the blocks in “eCONFIG” (page 22):

• Input Module

The Alarm carries two different identifiers from the input module to

the actual Kernel: the alarm identifier and the group identifier. The

identifier provides the message for the output device.

You can set or change the properties of an input module.

• Alarm Properties

The alarm identifier is used to determine how the alarm is processed.

Specifications are in the All Alarms menu (for more information, see

“eCONFIG main window” (page 24)). Examples of the alarm properties

are Priority, Repeat Interval Time, and so on.

Note: There are alarm identifiers predefined in the system

configuration. Therefore, it is not necessary to define all alarm

identifiers.
