Siemens SM2 monitoring system, U3585-J-Z125-8-76 1 Device, Select devices with monitored data

DEVICE Statements for nonprivileged users

DEVICE

Select devices with monitored data

Function

This statement is used to select the devices and monitored data to be output in the DEVICE report:

●disk devices with the greatest amount of activity during the monitoring cycle (default value)

●other devices with the greatest amount of activity during the monitoring cycle

●devices to which the user has assigned a high output priority

The statement also defines devices which are no longer output individually during the subsequent output cycle.

In the DEVICE report, as many as eight devices and their monitored data can be listed individually. All other active devices are output in the ACTIVE line by device name. The number of these further devices depends on the length of the mnemonic names of the devices which have been output.

This applies even if the user has specified a high priority for more than eight devices and if more than eight devices were active in the course of a monitoring cycle.

SM2 outputs the values of the eight individual devices which experienced the most activity during the monitoring cycle. The values of the other active devices are not output, although their device names are (sorted according to activity).

The devices are addressed using 2 to 4-digit alphanumeric device identifiers assigned in the DVC statement at system generation time. The current device IDs are logged in the PHYSICAL DEVICE LISTING created at system generation time.

If you specify the PRINT-CONFIGURATION statement in SM2R1, a configuration table will be output (see Volume 2 of the SM2 manual [21]). The current device identifiers can likewise be taken from this table.

The monitored data does not cover the activities of the communication processors, local cluster controllers, CTCCs, TRANSDATA 960s, 8170 Cluster Controllers, LAN adapters, HNCs, SCP or GS.
