Parameters by application class
This section describes the parameters by application class:
The column headings used in the tables in this section are defined as follows:
Column heading | Definition |
|---|---|
Description | States the parameter name and describes the parameter's function; for consumer parameters, lists the collector parameters that gather the data displayed by this parameter |
Active at Installation | Indicates whether the parameter is active or inactive by default |
Parameter Type | Indicates the parameter type: standard (Std) gathers and displays a single data value; collector (Coll) gathers multiple data values but has no display capabilities; consumer (Con) displays values gathered by collector or standard parameters. Some standards have collector properties. |
Border Range1 | Defines the default range for the parameter; can be set so that values that fall outside this range trigger warnings, alarms, or recovery actions |
Alarm1 Range1 | Specifies the thresholds for the first-level alarm; not applicable to collector parameters |
Alarm2 Range1 | Specifies the thresholds for the second-level alarm; not applicable to collector parameters |
Scheduling (poll time) | Specifies how frequently the parameter will run and collect data (polling cycle); not applicable to consumer parameters |
Icon Style | Specifies whether the parameter is represented as a graph, gauge, text box, stoplight (signal), or Boolean state |
Unit | Specifies the unit of measure in which the parameter output is expressed, such as a percentage, a number, or bytes |
1 Border, Alarm1, and Alarm2 ranges that are also labeled inactive by default might not be recommended ranges for the parameter.
