Alerts on Blocks

Scripting > Alerting on blocks

Alerts can be configured on blocks using genie python, there is no GUI for this at the moment. Am alert will trigger when a block is outside of the specified lowlimit,highlimit range for the specified delay_out time, it is like run control but rather than putting the DAE into WAITING a message is sent. When the value comes back in range, it must be in range for delay_in seconds until an in-range alert is sent.

## set mobiles and emails to alert
g.alerts.set_sms(["123456789", "987654321"])
g.alerts.set_email(["a@b", "c@d"])

## set alert on block1 with default delay_in and delay_out (2 seconds)
## setting a range automatically enabled the alert
g.alerts.set_range("block1", -10.0, 20.0)
## set alert on block2 with specified delay_in and delay_out times
g.alerts.set_range("block2", -10.0, 20.0, delay_in=5.0, delay_out=5.0)

## alerts can be separately enabled and disabled
g.alerts.enable("block1", True)
g.alerts.enable("block2", False)

## print status of all configured alerts to screen
g.alerts.status()

## test
g.cset("block1", -50) # With above settings, a message would be sent to say the block has gone out of range
g.cset("block1", 0) # With above settings, a message would be sent to say the block has gone back in range
