Hi List,
I was shocked while reading the Release Notes 6.5.1.
Problem:
If the INHPRT parameter is set to 1 in the STATION block, a problem
occurs where process alarm messages are not sent to the alarm printer
attached to a communication server. Consecutive alarm messages that are
destined to the communication server are packaged into one IPC message.
If one of the alarm types in this IPC message is an ALARM_ENABLE or
ALARM_DISABLE type, and INHPRT =3D 1, the communication server
discards all the messages, and both the process alarms and the alarm
inhibit/uninhibit messages are not printed.
Resolution:
This problem is corrected with V6.5.1 I/A Series software. ...
I prepare an upgrade from V6.1.1 to V6.5 because our alarm manager =
instructed me to disable ALARM_ENABLE/DISABLE messages.
It seems to be a great risk setting the INHPRT parameter to 1 and I'm =
not able using V6.5.1 due to the fact that the system runs on a Style C.
Questions:
- What is a communication server? Is it a COMM (communication =
processor)?
- What kind of software has to fixed to get a solution on V6.5?
Is it necessary to change the COMM-image or the AW-software?
Regards,
Andreas
