I was trying to create an alarm to be be displayed on my ADU fro each of the channels on my PMU24 so if an output is in an error state then a message is displayed on the screen. All was going well with this approach until I hit the limit of 15 alarms for the ADU. Is there a way I can have a single alarm for any of the PMU24’s outputs going into overcurrent?? Or is there a neater way around this problem?
You can combine multiple channels with the OR logic operator.
The output function will be true if at least one of the elements is true.
You can also use “pmuX.status” which already tells you if there is an error on any of the outputs.
When you put that channel on the log, you can see what values it can have.
Let’s say you want the alarm to show up when there is undercurrent or overcurrent. That means the alarm should turn on when pmu1.status has a value of 2 or more.
This has to be set up in the condition section.
The qualifier is for any additional conditions you want. For example, you can say that the alarm should only turn on if the engine is running or the vehicle is moving. If you don’t need any additional conditions, disable the qualifier option.
