CIMPLICITY Event Alarms

A set of CIMPLICITY event alarms is included in your base configuration. These alarms are not associated with any single CIMPLICITY point ID during configuration. CIMPLICITY event alarms may be modified, but they should never be deleted. They are:

CIMPLICITY Event Alarms Function During Runtime
$ACAL_ADD_OV Event added alarm generated by the Action Calendar.
$ACAL_CFG_ERROR Configuration error alarm generated by the Action Calendar.
$ACAL_DAYTYPE_OV Day type override alarm generated by the Action Calendar.
$ACAL_EVENT Setpoint event occurred successfully generated by the Action Calendar.
$ACAL_TIME_OV Event time override alarm generated by the Action Calendar.
$ALARM_DISABLED Alarm is disabled for the specified point.
$ALARM_ENABLED Alarm is enabled for the specified point
$ALARM_MODIFIED Alarm limits are modified for the specified point.
$ALARM_RAWLIM Range limits exceeded for the specified point.
$ALARM_RESTORED Alarm limits restored for the specified point.
$AM_STATUS Alarm Management status message used to analyze system performance. This message is issued every half-hour and shows the number of alarms generated, the count of alarms acknowledged, reset and deleted, and the average number of seconds required to log an alarm.
Note: Alarms generated is also incremented when an alarm is reset. In the case of reset, the message must be re-sent to clients to change state. Alarms Deleted is only incremented when a manual delete is performed.
$DEVICE Indicates if the device is up (able to communicate) or down. When the device is up Normal displays. When the device is down is in Alarm State. Configure a separate resource for each device. This helps separate the alarms, which would get stacked with the same resource.
$DEVICE_DOWN Device failure message for specified device.
$DEVICE_FAILOVER Reserved for future use.
$DL_FILE_FULL Log file full message for specified log file.
$DOWNLOAD Setpoint was downloaded to specified device.
$DYN_CFG The specified entity has been changed dynamically.
$EM_OUTOF_MEMORY An out of string space error has occurred.
$HIST_COLLECTOR Indicates that the Historian Collector has stopped collecting data.
$HIST_SERVER Indicates that CIMPLICITY cannot connect to the Historian server.
$LOGIN_FAILURE Specified user failed to log in to the specified CIMPLICITY project.
$LOGON Specified user has logged in to a specified CIMPLICITY project.
$LOGOUT Specified user has logged out from a specified CIMPLICITY project.
$OPC_MODEL_EVENT Generates alarms from OPC events.
Note: Alarms that are logged to the event log are treated as OPC A&E events by the OPC server. OPC events received by the OPC client are logged to the event log by default.
$REDUND_DEV_DOWN Alarm message for PLC redundancy.
$RTR_LINK_DOWN Router link has been lost to specified node.
AMSI_ALARM AMSI_ALARM is generated when a XASMGR (External Alarm State Manager) stops unexpectedly; the alarm is cleared when XASMGR restarts.
DB_CONN_DOWN Process has lost connection to specified logging database.
DB_START_FORWARD Process is forwarding data to specified logging database.
MCP_PROC_DOWN Specified CIMPLICITY process has terminated unexpectedly.
