Instruction Manual

i.LON 100 Internet Server Programmer’s Reference

Property Description

The input data point for this Alarm Generator. The data point must be

referenced by its <UCPTpointName>.

Each time this data point is updated, its value will be compared to the

value of the compare data point using the comparison function defined by

the <UCPTcompFunction> property. If the result of the comparison is

True, an alarm will be generated.

The <UCPTpointSatus> of this data point will be updated to the status

AL_ALM_CONDITION when an alarm is generated, unless the

<UCPTcompFunction> selected for the Alarm Generator is FN_LIMIT. In

this case, the status will be updated to any of four alarm statuses, based on

the offset limit that caused the alarm. For more information on this, see

Hysteresis Levels and Offset Limits on page 7-13.

You can register the input data point with the Alarm Notifier application

to generate alarm notifications and e-mail messages each time it is

updated to an alarm status. For more information on this, see Alarm

Notifier on page 8-1.

The compare data point for this Alarm Generator. The data point must be

referenced by the <UCPTpointName> assigned to it in the Data Server,

and must use the same format type as the input data point. The value of

this data point will be compared to the value of the input data point each

time either point is updated.

Use an NVC data point as the compare data point if you want your alarm

generator to generate alarms based on a constant value configured through

software, as opposed to a live value taken from the network.
