Print HACCP or log reports.


Checking alarms and events

  1. Check for alarms

    • The icon on the logon page indicates that there are current alarms.

    • Enter the program, click on the icon at the lower left: the current alarm page opens:

  2. Check and print global alarms

    • In ALARMS/EVENTS, Alarm list check and print triggered alarms (see chapter Active alarms).

    • Double-click an alarm to open details and acknowledge the alarm or stop actions or force clear if the alarm is insignificant (see chapter Alarm details)

    • In ALARMS/EVENTS, Cleared alarms page, check and print cleared alarms and double-click to open alarm details (see chapter Cleared alarms).

  3. Check and print global events

    • In ALARMS/EVENTS, Event list check and print the event sequence, starting from the most recent event (probably near the date-time of the first alarm) to the event that caused the alarm (see chapter Events).

  4. If necessary, run a targeted search

    • In ALARMS/EVENTS, Search, find and print alarms and events that meet search criteria (see chapter Alarm search and Event search).

Monitoring the site

  1. Check for alarms

    • If the icon does not appear on the logon page, check general site or assigned area operations or check alarms.

  2. Display device summary

    • In PLANT, Devices view the device list with status variables and probes (see chapter Site: devices).

  3. View site synoptic maps

    • In PLANT, Maps view the main synoptic map and navigate in other maps to check acquired data (see chapter Maps: synoptic maps).

    Synoptic map structure, aspect and navigation modes depend on the designer. Refer to any instructions for use issued during installation.

  4. Display all devices

    • In PLANT, Global check the device list with status and main probe values (see chapter Monitoring: main page).

  5. Display a device group

    • In PLANT, Global, <groupName>, check the device list with status and main probe values (see chapter Monitoring: main page).

Editing service parameters and devices

  1. Checking device status and editing parameters

    • In SITE, Global, double-click a device, Main page to:

      • check device status,

      • check probe values,

      • set main parameters,

      • control the unit (i.e.: reset alarms or turn off the unit)

    • (see chapter Monitoring-device: main page)

  2. Editing device parameters (i.e.: setpoint).

    • In PLANT, Global double-click a device, Parameters page: set service parameters (see chapter Monitoring- device: parameters)

    • If necessary, propagate the same settings on the same parameters for all similar devices

  3. Editing device group parameters (i.e.: setpoint)

    • In PLANT, Global, <groupName>, Parameters page, set a value on several parameters simultaneously (see chapter Monitoring: parameters)
