MAINT_ALM
An alarm indicating the device needs maintenance soon. If the condition is ignored, the device
will eventually fail.
Advisory alarms
An advisory alarm indicates informative conditions that do not have a direct impact on the
device's primary functions. There are five parameters associated with ADVISE_ALARMS, they are
described below.
ADVISE_ENABLED
The ADVISE_ENABLED parameter contains a list of informative conditions that do not have a
direct impact on the device's primary functions. The following advisory alarm may be displayed:
PlantWeb Alerts Simulation Active
ADVISE_MASK
The ADVISE_MASK parameter will mask any of the failed conditions listed in ADVISE_ENABLED.
A bit on means the condition is masked out from alarming and will not be reported.
ADVISE_PRI
ADVISE_PRI designates the alarming priority of the ADVISE_ALM, see “Recommended actions
for PlantWeb alerts” on page 282. The default is 0 and the recommended values are 1 or 2.
ADVISE_ACTIVE
The ADVISE_ACTIVE parameter displays which of the advisories is active. Only the advisory with
the highest priority will be displayed. This priority is not the same as the ADVISE_PRI parameter
described above. This priority is hard coded within the device and is not user configurable.
ADVISE_ALM
ADVISE_ALM is an alarm indicating advisory alarms. These conditions do not have a direct
impact on the process or device integrity.
