Event Logging

Events produced by the various ION modules in the meter are prioritized and grouped to facilitate custom logging. Each event has a priority group number assigned to it, based on its type and severity.

ION Event Priority Groups

Some event groups are preset with a Priority Number as shown in the table below. You can also define your own priority number for some modules. Priority numbers from 128-191 appear in the global even log viewer in WinPM.Net software. Priority numbers from 192-255 are logged, initiate a beep and cause the window to flash. You can customize these responses to display messages or perform netsend messages, for example.

The Event Log Controller module allows you to set a priority cutoff for event logging. Any events with a priority number greater than the cutoff value are logged, and events with lower priorities are discarded. Refer to the individual module descriptions and the Event Log Controller module description in the online ION Programmer’s Reference for more details.

External ION Events

Some events are not produced by a specific module; they are generated internally by the meter. These events and their associated priority levels are as follows:.

Event Group	Description	Priority
		Number
Warning	Factory initialize performed	30
	Firmware upgrade performed
	Memory upgrade performed
	Device power-up
	Device power-down
Failure	Communications fail to allocate required memory	255
