EES BSM - 7.1 Alarm channels and IEC objects; 7.1.1 Alarms

Parameterisation
Page 42 of 45 MSM-BSM2G-BA-UK-001
If the Excel-file contains parameters for additional slave-devices (within a cascaded annunciator
system), these can only be imported if the respective annunciators have been edified in the
parameterisation of the master annunciator before.
7.1 Alarm channels and IEC objects
Further information on the parameters can be found in the section  6.2.4.1 Submenu Reporting
channel.
7.1.1 Alarms
Index (idx)
The index is a consecutive number which ensures that the original sequence is reproducible when
sorting the table according to certain contents.
Device number and input
The column device number (0…3) indicates the device that is addressed (master annunciator (0) or
one of the up to three slaves (1…3)).
The column input addresses the alarm channel on the respective device.
The values entered in these columns have to be consistent.
Signal name 1 and 2
The content of these two fields is used for the parameter „Signal name“ of the reporting channels in
the parameterisation interface. To gain a 3-lined labelling , a third line can be generated in the field
„signal name 2“ by inserting a „\“ as separation between lines 2 and 3.
Operation / Normally closed
The respective function (operation indication or processing of the input in normally closed principle)
can be activated with „x“ or „X“. If the field is empty, the respective function is not activated.
Delay times / Defluttering
„debounce time“ 0 – 1000 ms
„response delay“ delay time from 0 ms .. 32400 s (9 h), up to 30 s in pattern of 1 ms,
any longer times in pattern of 1 s.
Format: mmm:ss.xxx (xxx indicates the value of the milliseconds).
If no delimiters are used, the entered value will be interpreted in
seconds.
„deflutter number“ 0 – 255
„deflutter time“ 0 – 65535 ms
These fields must not be empty.
Selective functions
For additional parameters, which can be activated or deactivated, the respective function can be
activated by entering “x” or “X” in the corresponding column:
Alarm edges - „rising“, „falling“ (multiple assignment possible)
Collective reports - „collective report1 – collective report3“ (multiple assignment possible)
Horn triggering: - „not active“, „not locked“, „locked“ (only one assignment possible)
Signal source : - „input physical“, „interface“, “display“, „logic“ (only one assignment possible)
For empty fields the respective function is not activated.
The Excel-file has to be of the type .xls, other Excel formats cannot be processed by the
annunciator.
The name of the tab „EES_Input“ must not be changed, otherwise the tab will not be
processed during the import.
