5.4.1.1 Testing the alarms
It is recommended to test the alarms as long as there is a
local connection to the plant. If communication takes place
via modem, it is more difficult to rectify parameter setting er-
rors. The easiest way to make an alarm test is to trigger a
system report.
The only obstacle is that system reports can only be received
once a day. For this reason – in the procedure described be-
low – the system time is put forward one day.
You are still using the ACS Alarm software.
1. Choose Window > New system report window.
2. Start ACS Service and open Applications > Pop-
card…
3. On operating page Miscellaneous, set data point “Time
of day“ to the date of the previous day and wait about 1
minute.
4. On operating page System report, keep data point “Sy-
stem report reporting time“ and edit the following data
points:
“System report reporting cycle “: 1
“System report call“: E.g. phone number 1+2+3+4
“System report operating hours / counter values“: Yes
5. On operating line Miscellaneous, set the time of day
back to the correct date.
Within 3 minutes, ACS Alarm should produce 4 system re-
ports for the 4 phone numbers.
A phone number must also be selected in direct mode since
otherwise no alarms can be delivered (e.g. phone number 1).
