Re: [foxboro] Listing all Configured Alarms

Notes garbled the info, so I'm resending from webmail.

Subject:  Determining Which Alarms Are Configured On Your System, Per Block
 Source:  TAC


Here is a procedure that uses the utility program "getpars" to determine the 
alarm types that are set on your system for each of the blocks.

"getpars" is very flexible and has several options.  Look at the getpars.man 
file (in /opt/fox/bin/tools) to see the complete list of options.  The following
is just one example. 

Log into your system in VT100 and go to the tools directory.
     cd /opt/fox/bin/tools

Run the following command:
  getpars ?U\* -C\* -B\* -mCMPNM:%12s ?mTYPE:%6s ?mALMOPT:%8x > alarm.txt

The command options are as follows:
     -U\*               all cp?s
     -C\*               all compounds
     -B\*               all blocks
     -mCMPMN:%12s       prints the compound name as a 12-character string
     -mTYPE:%6s         prints the type of block as a 6-characters string
     -mALMOPT:%8x       prints the parameter ALMOPT as an 8-digit hex number
     > alarm.txt        redirects the output to a file called alarm.txt

The backslashes are required before the asterisks so that the Unix shell will 
not evaluate the * as filenames.

Here is an example of the output:

COMPOUND-NAME AC_PIDA    (CP-LETTERBUG: CP660F)
BLOCK-NAME    CMPNM        TYPE     ALMOPT

CALC          AC_PIDA      CALC     NA
AIN1          AC_PIDA      AIN      0
AIN           AC_PIDA      AIN      13430080
PIDA          AC_PIDA      PIDA     0
FBTUNE        AC_PIDA      FBTUNE   NA
AOUT          AC_PIDA      AOUT     0
LLAG          AC_PIDA      LLAG     NA
DTIME         AC_PIDA      DTIME    NA
DEP           AC_PIDA      DEP      0

In this example only AC_PIDA:AIN has alarm options set. 

When the value shows "NA", it means that that parameter does not apply to 
that block type.

To determine what is set for this block convert the hex number into binary.

     1     3     4     3     0     0     8     0  (Hex)
  0001  0011  0100  0011  0000  0000  1000  0000  (Bin)

Then look up the ALMOPT parameter in B0193AX, Control Block Descriptions.

Here is the ALMOPT parameter for an AIN block.
B4= Out-of-Range Alarm, B7=HHALM, B8=LLALM, B15=HABS, B16=LABS, 
B7=Alarm Group 1

This is for an AIN.  All the other blocks are listed in the document and, 
if they have an ALMOPT, parameter, the individual option bits will be shown.

A general description of the parameter for all block types is given as a 
table in B0193AW, Integrated Control Concepts.
