Hi, This extract from document B0193DF Rev M (Display Commands) may be of help to you. PAGEACK S/W Release: 3.0 Use: For alarming, acknowledges all blocks that have an .UNACK or .ALMSTA parameter connection present on the graphic. With FoxView, this command also acknowledges all blocks with the parameters designated in the list. Syntax: dmcmd pageack [n] [-params <list>] where n is a CRIT value. where -params is a list of block parameters (used with FoxView only) Remarks: This command allows you to configure a display button that acknowledges all blocks that have an unacknowledged (.UNACK) or alarm status (.ALMSTA) connection present on the graphic. 2. Alphabetical List of Display Commands B0193DF - Rev M 83 For FoxView, the -params argument expands the block parameters to be acknowledged via pageack. In addition to blocks with .UNACK or .ALMSTA status, the blocks with the specified parameters (for example, - params .STAIND, .BLKSTA) are also acknowledged. You may prevent high priority alarms from being acknowledged by specifying a critical (CRIT) value 1-5 in the command so that if the .ALMSTA parameter shows a CRIT value greater than that specified in the command, the .UNACK parameter remains unchanged. This command may be assigned to an annunciator panel key. It affects only the graphic display from which it was invoked. If invoked from an annunciator key or Display Manager script, it affects only those .UNACK (.ALMSTA) parameters assigned to the base display. Overlays are not affected. This function applies only to user graphics and not to the CAD display.

It set to false all the .UNACK connection in the graphic regardless the actual state? I mean, if one connection has the .UNACK false, the pageack command also set this connection to false or it leave the parameter in that state? I am trying to figured out if the command put all the connection to false or if it checks the connection first and then, if the actual state is true, the command set it to false. In the first case, the pageack works as if it would be a broadcast command. Thanks in advance. _______________________________________________________________________ This mailing list is neither sponsored nor endorsed by Invensys Process Systems (formerly The Foxboro Company).
