From my experience, the am names are defined in the dmcfg file and associated to a dm name. That being said, I believe you can only have as many AM's as you have DM's or FV's.

How many CADs can one run from a single WP/AW? Can it be more than the number of DMs/FVs? Thanks, Corey From: "Johnson, Alex P (IOM)" <Alex.Johnson@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "foxboro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx" <foxboro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: 10/14/2011 01:21 PM Subject: Re: [foxboro] Alarm management Sent by: foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx First Problem - If the contents of the file are identical, you can use a Solaris link (ln -s <file> <linedFile>) or a Windows shortcut and name the file after the CB.AlarmType. This is a bit of a maintenance effort, but... You could also maintain that association (CBP to file name) in a file and have your script search the association file (grep) for the file name to display. This is much better, but requires a bit more script work. I'd go this way. Second Problem - The most common thing is to run two CADs on the WP and use a filter to segregate the displayed messages. It works well.
