12.1.4Setting Event Masks with the Terminal
The event masks can be customized via a terminal. The command SPT4?<ENTER> displays all faults and alarms, along with their associated event masks. A plus sign (+) means that particular event mask is enabled, while a minus sign
Refer to 11.1 - Event Mask on page 71 for more information on event masks and their associated flags.
Unlike the System and User Settings, mask values are set by designated letters, not hex values. However, as with other
The syntax for configuring event masks is: SPT 4 ID ±D±L±S±E±A
•SPT — is the terminal command used to configure setpoints.
•4 — setting (group parameter) for event masks, under System Settings.
•ID — event ID. The ID is the item parameter for this command. The ID numbers for each event are listed with the events in Table 8 on page 74.
•D,L,S,E,A — the event masks: Dial, Latch, Summary, Event log, and Audible. The masks are the value parameter for the command.
Each mask type must be preceded by a plus sign (+) to enable it, or a minus sign
NOTE
NO spaces are placed between each mask listed above.
Only the mask that is passed (enabled) is applied when the event occurs.
Note that the Summary and Event Log event masks are only configurable for the LED units. To set the event masks for a particular event:
1.Enter the command. Examples and descriptions are provided below.
2.Press ENTER.
After the new settings are entered, the new results for that event ID are displayed.
Examples of Event Mask Settings
•To latch event #001, S1 SCR SHORT, use SPT 4 1 +L.
•To disable event #128, CONFIG MODIFIED, from sounding the horn, use SPT 4 100
•To enable event #012, OUT VOLT SENSE FAIL, to Dial and go into the Event Log, use SPT 4 12 +D+E.
•To disable all masks for event #120, INPUT CONTACT #1, use SPT 4 120
To breakdown this syntax for the last example:
•SPT — SVT command
•4 — group parameter, identifying System Setting group under which the Event Mask settings reside.
•120 — item parameter. In this command, that is the event ID.
