The alarming system is broken-down into two separate parts, namely setup and detection. In setup you select the tags that you want the alarm system to work on. Then for each selected tag you add the required alarm trip actions. Therefore, any given tag can have multiple trips attached. Once all the alarms have been setup and saved its time to switch to Run mode. Once in run mode the alarm detection system is activated and will report any alarm conditions immediately. Normally, if the alarm window is not visible when an alarm is activated, it will automatically popup on screen.
This dialog box is used to set some of the application specific parameters.
This dialog box is used to set some of the selected drawings specific parameters. This dialog is used to apply these setting to each and any of the required drawings. Therefore, all drawings at run time can have unique titles, individual language files and their own refresh rates, etc.
Language is a very powerful tool enabling the user to perform almost any practical requirement in his control system. Language scripts may be assigned to any drawing or object in the application enabling the user to fully customise his system. Data Managers Language is a subset of the well-known BASIC programming language and each language script is stored in a separate .dmb file resident in the language directory. This method enables a language script to be executed from many different places without having to duplicate code. Language variables created within language scripts may be shared between many scripts or used to manipulate on screen objects as desired. These variables may also be transferred into tags and passed on to the plant or any remote networked station using DDE.
This dialog box is used to setup and control what happens when users login and logout.
A splash screen can be displayed on Data Manager startup. To do this create a bitmap called splash.bmp and place it in Data Managers installation directory. Then when Data Manager starts and finds a splash.bmp file it will load it and display it for around 5 seconds. To reverse this process delete, move or rename the splash bitmap.
