Treatment event method This software option is used to define a standard way to treat events. If the flag is set
to 0, the event treatment is performed on the basis of operator’s choice. When it is set
to 1, the operator is forced to treat events by priority because he cannot access any-
thing else but the event associated to the F1 button. Only after that all events have
been acknowledged, the F2-F6 buttons become available.
Event report upon reset
This software option lets you define if you want that the operators have the opportunity
of recording a few lines of text after each event reset. If the flag is set to Y, after an
event treatment the operator can type up to four lines of comment that are recorded in
the historical archives. The default is Y.
Automatic reset of events If this software option is set to Y, events can be reset automatically. Otherwise, if it is
set to N operators must reset events manually. If you set this software option to N,
Automatic resets will be absolutely excluded from your LMS installation, but if you set
the flag to Y, the actual system behaviour depends on the setting of “automatic reset
flag” in the subsystem configuration data.
The following table shows how the two flags interact to define the LMS behaviour:
Even if another configurator requests an automatic reset, or tries to configure for
automatic reset, a No for this option will override a Yes anywhere else in the system.
Default setting is N.
Event Duplication When it is set to N, if a point already listed in the events’ list for a previous event trig-
gers another event (of a different type), the point is not added to the list. Simply, the
events time and the status of the point change according to the most recent event. If
the new event type is more serious than the previous level (e.g. a point that issued a
FAULT triggers an ALARM) the event in the events' list also changes its type. Other-
wise (e.g. a point that issued an ALARM triggers a FAULT) the previous event type
stays on the events' list. If the flag is set to Y, the event is added to the list as if it
were coming from a not-already-listed point. Default is N.

Historic file records If you want to maintain a historical file on the hard disk that records all logins, logouts,
changes of operator, events, and operator's response to events, you have to set the
flag to Y. Otherwise, with the flag set to N no recording is performed. Default is Y.
Daylight saving time man-
agement
It is used to define the pattern for the daylight saving time yearly changes. If it is set o
0, no matter which dates are configured in the database, the daylight saving time is
not handled by LMS. If the flag is set to 1, the European rule is followed (last Sunday
in March/October). The time is changed the last Sunday of the last week of March (the
time is set 1 hour forward) and the last Sunday of the last week of September (the
time is set 1 hour backward). If the flag is set to 2, LMS looks in the database to get
the dates set by the system manager. The time is changed at pre-set hours, and
namely between 2 and 3 a.m. of the foreseen days.
