System Events and Alarms History


TimeCraft has extensive event detection, reporting, and alarm generation capabilities that permit monitoring of an SSU-2000. Events are defined as conditions within the unit that indicate:

  1. Abnormal operation, or

  2. A change in the unit's operational status.

Alarms are a subset of events that indicate:

  1. A condition that may require operator intervention, or

  2. A degradation of the unit in operation.

The Events & Alarms History screen allows a user to set display options for event and alarm reporting. The most recent events and alarms are added to the top of the display. Alarms are color coded according to severity. The fields are described in the table below.
