Alarm Conditions

Available on: Flexs Q5C Flexs Q5 Pro Flexs Q5M

Registers a critical fault with a 5-second trigger delay using alm.e(), prints its live value each loop, and shows the group/summary queries (alm.v, alm.fV, alm.list, alm.max) plus resetting and acknowledging faults with alm.rst/alm.ack.

let startTime = now();

while(run()){

  // Set the current alarm group
  alm.g("UV");

  // Evaluate an alarm condition (also returns the current priority of the alarm (if active) or 0 if not alarming
  let value = alm.e(
    alm.crit, // alarm priority
    "Reactor A Run Failure", // alarm title
    startTime.sAgo() > 5 && startTime.sAgo() < 12, // alarm condition
    5, // Alarm trigger delay (Condition must be true for this many seconds before the alarm activates)
    true, // Alarm automatically clearable?
    0, // Alarm clearing delay (Condition must be (false) AND alarm clearable (true) for this many seconds before the alarm automatically clears)
    startTime // Optional argument, the current value e.g. reservoir level etc. Included in log messages which are automatically recorded when faults change states
  );

  print("Run Time: ", startTime.sAgo(), "  Fault Value:", value);

  let groupValue = alm.v("UV"); // If multiple faults exist per group this will return the highest priority active alarm.  Multiple groups can be included as additional arguments

  let faultValue = alm.fV("UV","Reactor A Run Failure"); // Get the value of a specific fault under the "UV" category

  let faults = alm.list(); // Return an object with the status of all the registered alarms  {"UV":{"Reactor A Run Failure":0}}

  let max = alm.max(); // return the highest alarming priority across all groups

  waitMS(1000);

}

// Resetting Faults

alm.rst(); // reset all the faults
alm.ack(); // acknowledge all the faults

alm.rst("UV","Reactor A Run Failure"); // Reset a specific fault
alm.ack("UV","Reactor A Run Failure"); // Acknowledge a specific fault.. An optional false argument can be appended to cancel the acknowledgement
