48-71 Doc PS Rev Rb Messages alarms, warnings,
events and prompts (32) Alarm and warning generation (both low and high)
willbe provided for all scaled instrument values, these
shallhave the facility to be time filtered and
willhave hysteresis
filtering to prevent nuisance “chattering”alarms. Alarms and warnings
maybe self-resetting or latching.
(33) Individual analogue
alarm and warning modules willbe provided for any analogue value, each alarm or warning
shallhave the facility to be active high or low, and
shallhave the facility to be time filtered and
willhave hysteresis filtering to prevent nuisance
“chattering”alarms. Alarms and warnings
maybe self-resetting or latching.
(34) Digital alarm and warning modules
willbe provided for any digital signal, each alarm or warning
shallhave the facility
to be active high or low and shallhave the facility for being time filtered on both rising and falling edges. Alarms and warnings
maybe self- resetting or latching.
(35) Alarms and warnings
willnotbe timestamped at the controller level it is assumed that this will be done by the supervisory system.
(36) Modules
willbe provided to allow event and prompt information to be passed to supervisory systems. Events
willbe simple records of actions that have occurred (for example, a target temperature has been reached, these messages will be logged by the supervisory system.
Prompts willbe signals to the supervisory system that a particular action is required by the operator (e.g. ready to start cleaning cycle. Prompt modules
willhave the facility to queue messages in the order they occur.
(37) A module
willbe provided to timestamp the occurrence of a signal (this
maybe an alarm or warning, the time stamping
willuse the Controller
real time clock and willhave an accuracy of at least 1 millisecond. Low alarms or warnings occur when an instrument value is at or falls below a target value, high alarms and warnings occur when the value is at or above a target value.

(38) The timestamp module
willrecord the following
• Time the event began
•
Time the event ended • Duration of the event
• Time of any operator acknowledgement
