Problem reading discrete alarm ranges

[ask]

Hello,

I have dp with discrete alarm handling and want to read configured alarm levels.
When I try use dpGet with: myDPname+":..alarm_hdl_..set", I get an empty table ( 0 items) even for config "_num_ranges"
returns correct value (5).

What am I doing wrong?

Regards

Not sure if this is just a typo in your forum post but there are some errors in your config.

1. The config is called "_alert_hdl" not "_alarm_hdl".
2. There should be no dots (..) between the datapoint name and the config.
3. There is an error between the config and the attribute: "_..set" should be ".._set".

Try this:
myDPname+":_alert_hdl.._set"

The _set attribute is set for every range.
If you want to get the configuration for a specific range you have to use the detail number: _alert_hdl.´<range>._set.

Of course I made mistakes during typing post. Sorry.
But:
When I want to get configuration for specific range using for example: "_alert_hdl.2._set" (it should be int)
I got an error message:
WCCOAui (7), 2019.11.07 08:44:12.287, IMPL, WARNING, 50, Default branch called, IntegerVar, operator=, cannot assign variable of type DYNINTEGER_VAR

So I used dyn_int instead int using this script:

main(mapping event)
{
int nr,typ,level;
string txt,dp=T.text()+".state.position";
dyn_int set;
dpGet(dp+":_alert_hdl.._num_ranges",nr);
dpGet(dp+":_alert_hdl.._set",set);
DebugN("number of levels:",nr);
DebugN("levels set:",set);

for(int i=0;i<=nr;i++)
{
dpGet(dp+":_alert_hdl."+i+"._text",txt);
dpGet(dp+":_alert_hdl."+i+"._type",typ);
dpGet(dp+":_alert_hdl."+i+"._set",set);
dpGet(dp+":_alert_hdl."+i+"._set",level);
DebugN(dp,"level",i,"text",txt,"type",typ,"set",set);
}
}

and I got:

For almost every level I got the same list of values and the sequence of this values is incorrect beacause real configuration is:

level=7 value=0 text="INTERMEDIATE"
level=6 value=8 text="CLOSING"
level=5 value=4 text="OPENING"
level=4 value=2 text="OPEN"
level=3 value=1 text="CLOSED"
level=2 value!=0,1,2,3,4,8 text="POSITION FAULT"
level=1 without assigned value

So I still cannot read/get value for specific level or list of values with correct sequence.

What I am doing wrong?

I may be wrong about this but it seems you need to use the attribute "_match" if only a single value is set for the range and "_set" if multiple values are set. You can use the "_type" attribute to find out which to use.
There may be more cases to consider, I'm not sure.
Also be aware that "_match" returns a string and not an int.

Code: Select all

  int num_ranges;
  dpGet("Test01.value01:_alert_hdl.._num_ranges", num_ranges);
  DebugN("Ranges", num_ranges);

  for (int i = 1; i <= num_ranges; i++)
  {
    string alert_text;
    int alert_type;
    string alert_set;
    dpGet("Test01.value01:_alert_hdl." + i + "._text", alert_text,
          "Test01.value01:_alert_hdl." + i + "._type", alert_type);

    if (alert_type == 3)
    {
      dyn_int temp;
      dpGet("Test01.value01:_alert_hdl." + i + "._set", temp);
      alert_set = strjoin(temp, ",");
    }
    else if (alert_type == 5)
    {
      dpGet("Test01.value01:_alert_hdl." + i + "._match", alert_set);
    }

    DebugN("Range: "+i, alert_text, alert_type, alert_set);
   }

This returns the following for me.

Code: Select all

WCCOAui1:["Ranges"][7]
WCCOAui1:["Range: 1"][""][5]["*"]
WCCOAui1:["Range: 2"]["POSITION FAULT"][3]["0,1,2,4,8"]
WCCOAui1:["Range: 3"]["CLOSED"][5]["1"]
WCCOAui1:["Range: 4"]["OPEN"][5]["2"]
WCCOAui1:["Range: 5"]["OPENING"][5]["4"]
WCCOAui1:["Range: 6"]["CLOSING"][5]["8"]
WCCOAui1:["Range: 7"]["INTERMEDIATE"][5]["0"]

If you want to see which attributes are set for the _alert_hdl config you can
-- make an ASCII export for the dp element with the filter P + _alert_hdl
-- open the ASCII file in Excel (tab limited text file)

Then you can modify your script to read the same attributes with the correct detail number.
