5.11 BRIGADE FUNCTIONS ON NETWORK SYSTEMS
All of the brigade functions and commands operate exactly as described in Chapter 5,
Sections 5.1 to 5.10. I.e. the FFCIF alarm list operation, acknowledging, resetting, or
isolating alarms, etc. is the same for network systems, but the following additional details
apply to network systems.
FFCIF Alarm List Operation
Depending on programming, the FFCIF alarm list may contain alarms received from
other devices on the network.
Local Alarms
Local alarms may always be acknowledged, reset, or isolated locally. Depending on
programming, they may also be acknowledged, reset, or isolated from other network
devices or from local RZDUs. With programming, it is possible to inhibit the acceptance
of acknowledgements from other network devices or RZDUs and force all alarms to be
acknowledged locally.
Remote Alarms
Alarms received from remote devices may always be locally acknowledged in the local
FFCIF alarm list and this will cause an acknowledge command to be sent to the remote
device that originated the alarm. Depending on its programming, the remote device may
accept this command, and in turn cause all devices on the network to receive an
acknowledge indication for the alarm.
Depending on programming, alarms originating from remote devices may also be reset
or isolated from the "local" FFCIF display. I.e. when reset or isolate is pressed from the
FFCIF alarm list display, all acknowledged local alarms will be reset or isolated, and for
remote alarms, reset or isolate commands will be sent to the remote device(s) originating
the alarm(s). If this function is disabled, the FFCIF Reset or FFCIF Isolate commands
will not send a reset or isolate command to the device originating the alarm.
Type 2 FFCIF Operation
In Type 2 mode, reset and isolate commands may result in the sending of reset or isolate
commands to remote devices, depending on programming.
"Point" Key Operation
When a remote alarm is being displayed on the FFCIF display, the
key may be pressed (and held) to show additional information about the source of the
alarm.
