Temperature Alarm

Temperature alarm

The AlphaCom monitors the temperature of the boards. If the temperature becomes too high, an internal RCI #8 is triggered, and the log event "Temperature Alarm" is generated:

Oct 10 12:54:35 src@Johnson AlphaLog: N001.D065:.Exch:ALARM 8 ON.
Oct 10 12:54:35 src@Johnson AlphaLog: N001.D065:.Exch:Temperature Alarm

In addition a mail is sent to station 1. The mail can be viewed by entering 70 and looks like this:

TemperatureAlarm
0=Clear 8=Call

Multi-Module

By default RCI 8 in the Master module is programmed to report Temperature Alarms. This needs to be done manually for the slaves. The RCI for the Master module is number 65/8. Slave 1 is 66/8, slave 2 is 67/8 and slave 3 is 68/8.

Known problems AMC hardware 8000/2

"Temperature Alarm" in AlphaCom E7: This problem is probably related to the fact that the AMC-IP board never had a connection to the over-temp. signal from the ACE7 backplane. This is related to the problems with RCIs from the same backplane.
