Job Maintenance
There is currently no way to ensure that when a 4 100 job is modified, the
corresponding translation file will also be updated and burned and installed in the
Graphical LCD Annunciator. The accepted method of operation is to put the
responsibility of updating the custom labels in the annunciator in sync with the
revised job onto the field personnel.
The procedure of updating the label file is exactly as described above.
Labels in the CFIG can be changed without updating the LCD label file. The Master
FACP software and the Graphical LCD Annunciator software will not detect the
label mismatch. The mismatch will not be noticed until that point is in one of the
active lists. The LCD then displays the
old
label for that point.
New labels for additional monitor points typically found in a job upgrade situation
have the same synchronization problem. In this case, the new label is not in the LCD
label tile at all. When the newly added point is put in the active list, there is no label
available for display. The solution to this problem is that the Graphical LCD
Annunciator software will have a default display when a label is not available.
Point Identification
The default display shows the point identification information (PID) to the user
following the card-point-subpoint convention (for example, 5-2-O). If the point is a
local point, the PID means CARDS POINT2. If the point is an remote point, the PID
means CARDS, SLOT2, POINT0 on the network. This remote PID is different from
node to node because the same point may be located differently in different network
cards, but they all refer to the same point in the owner node.
