How to set up a pop-up when a DCS alarm occurs?
Thread Content
The process engineers requested that a window appear on the flowchart screen as a warning when a certain flowmeter reaches its low-low alarm level or when the PV value reaches a specific value. How is this achieved?
Just select the pop-up window when setting an alarm
The specific settings for each system may vary; if you indicate which system it is and its name, others will be able to guide you better
Oh, I’m sorry; it’s the Yokogawa CS3000.
It’s the Yokogawa CS3000.
In the configuration, under the alarm section, check the box next to the alarm popup
It’s just a visual configuration; the word “Alarm” is linked to the alarm value or PV of the flow meter – for example, **“FT-****.PV>=**”, and it’s the display color that matters
I’ve finished this task. I haven’t had time to check the forum lately; I’ll leave a summary in **this post when I write my notes next Monday.
In this forum, will the words “answer” be censored?
I just remembered when I logged into this account that I wanted to write down the method I use to do this task in this post. The method is to create an RL block and an ST16 block, and write the popup message in %OGXXXX of the MESSAGE at the control station. In the RL block, enter the PV value of the table for which a pop-up warning is to be displayed (such as the flow meter), as well as the threshold levels below or above which a pop-up should appear. Then, in the ST16 block, specify that when the Xth row of the RL block (where X is the row number corresponding to the value entered there earlier) meets the predetermined comparison conditions, the %OG information will start to be displayed. Note the statement related to %OG in ST16, namely TAGNAME.DATAITEM:%OGXXXX.PV DATA:NON. It is also necessary to specify in the .SH whether pop-ups are allowed for that site and what the size of those pop-ups should be.
