Landis & Staefa Division System Messages --- Sequence and Classification 3-13
3.4 Sequence and Classification of (Error) Messages
Note: The messages described in this handbook are arranged in alphabetical
order of the clear text.
Generally, messages are split into four format groups. The first five characters of a
message line (including spaces) determine the format or group.
Format A ---> Line start corresponds to the STAP parameter value (noted generally in
the following chapters as STAP)
Format B ---> Line start contains a program name (noted generally in the following
chapters as PNAM)
Format C ---> Line start consists of a short text (noted generally in the following
chapters as KTXT)
Format D ---> Lines having various long texts
(as can be directly seen in the associated description)
Following each message, parameters are displayed (e.g., MSGDEV, DEVINI), which
define the terminals responsible for the message output.
The message terminals specified under "->MSGDEV" can be viewed in the MSGDEV
parameter of the associated NAME point address.
For all other parameters (e.g., "->DEVINI") the message terminals are defined under $S.
With "->Tn" the associated message is output on terminal "n" (n=1..15), or on the
currently active operating terminal.
The message name (e.g., M.IDF) is printed in parenthesis on the same line as the
message terminals.
This is for L&S use only and acts as a reference for error routines and thus has no
meaning for customers.
The statistics buffer is handled like a "normal" terminal in the VISONIK DC Server. This
buffer has the terminal "device" designation STA. Therefore, STA can be allocated
through system parameters DSMx, DEVINI, DEVPCH, DEVLOG just like any other
message channel (M1, M2, M3 etc.).
3.4.1 Format A : Messages with STAP
Format A messages begin with the peripheral warning condition, STAP. (Refer to STAP
in the parameter description.)
Format A messages have the following structure:
... SSt00:00:00 PS'120' 16"A [Bld 16] [Floor A]
257 events per hour
| | | | | | | |
v v v v v v v v
A B C D E F G H
A Dots "..." indicate the STAP peripheral warning condition.
B The point type of the message point.
C Message marker.
D Time of message (not printout time).
E Technical or user address
F Point text TXI [optional]
G Point text TXI2 [optional]
H Actual message.
