FX16 Master Controller Technical Bulletin 93
Event Management
The FX16 Master Controller manages and records events or errors that
the operating system generates. The FX16 also manages and records
and events associated with data points or variables in the control
application.
System Events
System events indicate that the control system requires some attention
and includes events, such as:
• system power up
• trend buffer full
• communication message failure (E-mail, SMS)
• device communication error
• application or display diagnostic error
Application Events
Application events indicate that the controlled equipment requires
attention or that the controlled conditions are not within the expected
limits. For example:
• analog value is outside of a desired range
• status value represents a condition that is not normal
When an event goes into the active state, the FX16 enters the event into
the table of active events and the event history log with the time and
date of occurrence. A message then appears on the display screen of the
FX16.
You can also configure the FX16 to send the event message to one or
more of the following:
• e-mail Message Server
• mobile telephone with Short Message Service (SMS)
If you configure active events to require user acknowledgement, the
FX16 only removes events from the active events table when the events
are acknowledged and returned to the inactive or normal state. You can
acknowledge events from the integral remote MUI.
You can view the table of active events and the event history log on the
remote user interface or Web browser.
