Alex,
I think EDS is what we used on the unix boxes. I remember it was quite
complicated (for us anyway) to configure it, but maybe it's easier now :-)
I'll check with the local sales rep to see which is best suited for us, sounds
promising.
Thanks & Rgds,
Dirk

Dirk,
FoxPage can receive SysMon alarms, filter out the ones of interest, and send a
page or email or SMS or voice annunciation for those alarms.
I'll send you the documentation off-list.
Best,
Alex

Subject: [foxboro] distingiushing/isolating system alarms
Hi list,
I/A 8.7 with ZCP/FCP270
We've had an issue recently with a redundant A2 Mesh switch going down, causing
a network burst 5 hours later. Our plant was "blind" for some 20min due to this
event. Luckily no losses or damages. Invensys service responded very fast,
providing a replacement switch, and everything was soon back to normal.
Now for my question:
Our control room operator didn't notice the red blinking sys button because
it's blinking most of the time. (we have some time synch errors on profibus
FBM's which we can't find any solution for). Off course in the ideal world no
system alarms are generated, but a 20 yr old plant isn't exactly the ideal
world....
Invensys doesn't really make any distinction between system alarms, yet some of
them are "harmless" and some require immediate action.
I can use a query in foxray to filter on "SYSMON -00043 Equipment failed" or
something similar and send an email to engineering, but this is useless outside
office hours. I can buy some fancy cell phone messing stuff or I need to find a
way to tell the control room operator to call engineering when a certain system
alarm exists. I prefer the latter, but basic I/A doesn't have anything which
can do that it seems.
I'm currently checking to see if I can have our Cisco Call manager, which has a
sim box connected to it, to forward a mail as an SMS to a designated cell
phone number, but no idea yet if this will work.
How are you handling this?
Thanks & Rgds,
Dirk
