Red Lion DSP - Adding a tag value into Alarm Event Name

[jmaty23]

I have a Red Lion Data Station Plus - Is it possible to add a numeric tag value into the Event Name of an alarm message???

Yes you can. Search for astext in the manual and you will see an example. You basically type =tagname.AsText

I was able to setup the Sendmail commands. Thanks.

I am now having another issue, I have setup 35 data tags with email alarms. When I send the logic file to the DSP to update it, It sends out the email alarms for all 35 tags. Is there a way to stop this from happening?

What is the condition on which you have programmed the unit to send the email?

 

[jmaty23]

All of the tags are Flag Tags. Each tag has an Active On and Active Off alarm with the following in the On Active:

SendMail(0,"","Ammonia Detection - Engine Room - (Sensor #1)High Level Alarm - PPM: " + AMMONIA_SENSOR_1_TRUE_LEVEL.AsText)

Do you have the Trigger set to Edge or Level?

 

[jmaty23]

The trigger is set to Level Triggered Alarm.

 

[JeremyH]

Changing to Edge should resolve your issue. If you require a level trigger for your application they you could add a tag to the enable. You would then just have to set this tag true after the unit powers on to enable your alarms.

That did the trick. Thanks for your assistance!
