User Level Admin

Syntax set iochannel ctsdsrdcd

[alarm [trigger disabledinactive-inputactive-input] [clear automanual] [email onoff] [syslog onoff] [snmp onoff]]

[description <string>] [invert-signal onoff]

[latch disabledinactive-to-activeactive-to-inactive]

Options digital_channel

Specify the Digital channel number, for example, d2.

alarm

Configures alarm settings when the Digital input trigger is activated.

trigger

When the trigger condition is met, triggers the specified alarm action. Triggers can be:

zDisabled—No alarm settings. This is the default.

zInactive—When the expected Digital input is active, going inactive will trigger an alarm.

zActive—When the expected Digital input is inactive, going active will trigger an alarm.

clear

Specify Manual to manually clear an alarm. Specify Auto to automatically clear the alarm when the trigger condition changes; for example, if the Trigger is Inactive and the alarm is triggered, once the input becomes active again, the alarm will be cleared when Auto is set. The default is Auto.

email

Sends an email alert to an email account(s) set up in the Server settings (the Line Email Alert settings are not used with this feature) when an alarm is triggered or cleared. The email alert data includes the severity level and the value that caused the alarm to trigger or clear. The Email Alert is associated with Level Critical.

syslog

Sends a message to syslog when an alarm is triggered or cleared. The syslog entry includes the severity level and the value that caused the alarm to trigger or clear. The syslog message is associated with Level Critical.

snmp

Sends an SNMP trap when an alarm is triggered or cleared. The trap consists of the severity level and whether the alarm was triggered or cleared.

description

Provide a description of the channel, making it easier to identify. The channel description can be up to 20 characters.

invert-signal

Inverts the actual condition of the I/O signal in the status; therefore, an inactive status will be displayed as active.
