Hi,
I have a DB with many alarms... let's say 500 bits bundled in words.
You all know the problem when hitting an emergency stop that several alarms can be shown. You cannot see wich one was first.
So I was thinking how to solve this one...
I can write a loop that searches in the words or so, but what will I know... I can log the first fault maybe... what to do with the next...
Maybe show only the first within a timeframe of 10s, donno.
I will know wich bit in the DB, but I will not know what text to show, maybe a change with the discrete alarms...
Or I should change the way alarms are show on panels now, link them to a copy of the alarm DB en lookup the first alarm en link that one to the DB that linked to the discrete alarms...
Anyone had this situation before ?
Thanks,
Kind regards,
Gerry
