Appendix B.6. Adding / Modifying ‘Return to Normal’ Strings

When an event is reported, the driver compares the description to those in “Return to Normal” column of the table provided in Appendix A.2. The table can be modified or extended.

Add a section to the configuration file which is similar to the text found in the examples below.

The index value allocated should match the malfunction index for the driver to clear the malfunction when the return to normal event is found.

In the example below the gas name specified is ‘DISK NO LONGER FULL, an entry from the existing list. When the driver finds the lines below, it will update the index value to 20. Ensure the index value is less than 100.

// Change index value of existing Return to Normal Event.

In the example below the gas name specified is ‘DISK NOT FULL’ and it has been assigned an index value of 20. It will be added to the table.

Appendix B.7. Using the TGM’s Config.dat file to customize malfunctions

Copy the TGM’s config.dat file to the FieldServer as a file called atmitgm.ini. When the driver starts it looks for this file and updates the malfunction table based on the malfunction strings found inside the config file. The Ruinet utility is required

Ruinet –i1.2.3.4 –u0 –lc:\…\config.dat –fatmitgm.ini

Where

1.2.3.4 is the IP address of the FieldServer

c:\….\config.dat is the path of the file to be downloaded from your C driver.

To stop the driver using the ini file remove it from the FieldServer by deleting it.

Ruinet –i1.2.3.4 –zatmitgm.ini

When the driver inspects the configuration file it searches for the string “malfunStat” and uses the table that follows to update the malfunction table. Note that the config file only contains malfunction strings and does not provide the ‘Return to Normal’ strings. Thus, if the config file contains a malfunction for which the driver does not have a matching return to
