Events and Alarms


TimeCraft has extensive event detection, reporting, and alarm generation capabilities that permit monitoring of a TSG-3800.

Events are conditions within the unit that may indicate abnormal operation or a change in the unit's operational status.

Alarms are a subset of events, which can be reported by the unit to indicate a condition that may require operator intervention or a degradation of the unit in operation.

The Events & Alarms 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 screen's fields are described in the table below.
