Acknowledge (EventAcknowledge)

All alarms of the datapoint elements (DPE) that added to the acknowledgement list of an object are acknowledged in an overall acknowledgement in the VISION module. Other alarms are not acknowledged.

Figure 1. Acknowledgement window

The Acknowledgement window consists of:

  • Input box for datapoint identifier and

  • Button for datapoint selection (see above)

  • Acknowledge list

  • 4 buttons for acknowledge list operation (using the buttons you can add a data point to the acknowledgement list or delete a datapoint)

How to enter datapoint identifiers

  1. Click the Select datapoint identifier button.

  2. The DP selector is displayed.

  3. Select a datapoint identifier ( for example, ExampleDP_Arg1.) and click OK.

  4. Click the button with the arrow symbol and then the button with the OK check mark to add the datapoint name to the acknowledge list.

  5. Now you can select another datapoint with the DP selector ( for example, ExampleDP_Arg2.).

  6. Click the top buttons to add the second DP name to the acknowledge list.

Note that if you add (write) a datapoint + dollar parameter manually (as pure text) in a panel using the wizards "Acknowledge", the datapoint is applied into the list without "". Add the quotation marks manually ( for example, $dpe+"ExampleDP_Arg1"). Thus, if you use $Param+FixText in the Acknowledge wizards, use this notation.

Use the button DPDelete(bottom right) to remove the configuration for the selected DP.

Only the alarms of the selected datapoints are acknowledged in an overall acknowledgement.

In some special cases you might exclude some of the datapoints from the Acknowledge list or do some other modifications. Thus, you have to adapt the function isAckable() in the libCTRL.ctl.
