Section 9. Events and Diagnostics
more detailed Alarm Status Display, shown in
Figure 9.6. The legend across the top of the screen
shows the possible states for Alarm Conditions.
Individual alarms populate the screen and each
has its own indicating color button, the name of the
alarm and a field for descriptions or comments. Up
to 24 different alarms can be located on the screen.
Alarms can be either printed or saved to an .html
file, depending on the type of HMI being used.
Local HMIs download the file via the integral USB
drive. Remote HMI software on PCs enable the
alarm information to be printed.
Configuring alarms via the Alarm set-up screen is
simple and straightforward, as shown in figure 9.7.
Selecting the condition to be monitored from the
drop-down menu creates an alarm. Up to 28 indi-
vidual conditions are available, as is the ability to
specify the email notification recipients for that
condition. In the drop-down list, an alarm may be
a specific condition at a particular circuit breaker
location or a general condition across any of the
breakers.
Select the Email Preferences button to configure
the SMTP Server to be used for email notifications.
A Test Email Address button is provided. A special
field for specifying Email Notification for the
occurrence of control power events is also available.

Control power events can be associated with the
uninterruptible power supplies that power the
Entellisys control power network and may be used to
warn of potential control power loss system issues.
An optional notification service notifies GE Service,
allowing them to respond with assistance.
Maintenance and service contracts are available to
support your facility's needs. Please contact your
local GE Sales Representative for more information
about this offering.
System Health
The System Health Summary window, as shown in
Figure 9.8, displays diagnostic information about
the Entellisys monitoring system itself. Events from
this information can be configured to appear in the
SOE and/or the system alarms. Prompt system
notification of Entellisys system conditions alerts
facility staff so they can act accordingly.
The System Health Summary screen contains a
high-level summary of the functional status of each
of the Messengers and CPUs in the Entellisys system.
Clicking on either of the CPU indicator lights will
show the status for that device in greater detail.
Each of the circuit breaker indicator lights will
show a greater level of detail of the status of the
Messenger associated with that breaker.
