1. Introduction
The intention of this chapter is to give an introduction into LIB 500 and LIB 510
functions. The functions are to some parts described in more detail.
Two separate phases can be identified:
1. The Engineering phase, when configuring the application by means of the
system tools.
2. The “runtime” phase, when the prepared and configured application is used and
connected to the process.
This Operator’s Manual does not deal with phase 1. The focus is set on using the LIB
500 and LIB 510 related functionality after a proper configuration.
However, as a user you may notice that all application areas and functions provided
by LIB 500 and LIB 510 described in this Operator’s Manual are not covered by
your application. This is because the functionality of individual applications is
designed according to the needs of the user. Vice versa, your application may feature
functionality which is not described in the scope of this Operator’s Manual.
1.1.
Reference documentation
The handling of LIB 500 is divided into two operator’s manuals. For LIB 510, please
see the LIB 510 Operator’s Manual.
1.2.
Safety instruction
!
We strongly recommend that you familiarize yourself with the basic handling of the
functionality in the application pictures and picture functions in order to avoid
situations that may cause danger to the personnel. Therefore, the use of authorization
levels is advisable in order to allow only dedicated personnel to perform control
operations of e.g. switching devices.
1.3.
General about LIB 500 and LIB 510
LIB 500 consists of basic functions needed for application handling (e.g. backbone,
user management, event and alarm list, busbar colouring). Furthermore, LIB 500 is
the platform to which support packages (e.g. LIB 510) are added. LIB 510 is a
support package containing functions such as MV process, procedures for handling
relays and terminals (SPACOM and RED), tools needed for configuring the process
terminals or for e.g. uploading recordings from the disturbance recorders etc.

Application pictures
)LJ ([DPSOHVRIDSSOLFDWLRQSLFWXUHV
Figure 1.4.-1 is composed of some examples of application pictures. In this case an
Alarm List, a Trend Report, Harmonic Violation period bars provided by the PQ-
Monitoring Tool, and a Daily Report from the Measurement Reports 2 are
displayed.
Application pictures visualise the supervised processes. There are many different
types of application pictures: single line diagrams, process pictures, system
supervision, lists, application tools, measurement reports and trend reports.
When a picture is presented on the screen, first you see the picture background. Then
the start program is executed. The start program may imply that windows are
displayed, the process database is contacted, the picture process objects are given
initial values etc. The start program cannot be interrupted by pressing any function
key.
Generally, only one application picture is presented within the same monitor. The
opening of another function closes or hides the previous one. However, several

monitors can be opened to the same application. Thereby the same or different
application pictures can be shown in different places at the same time. If two or more
monitors are open to the same application processes, viewing/using the LIB 500 and
LIB 510 functions are settled by the user’s authorization level.
Your application may contain one or more application or process pictures, which can
be accessed from the pull down menus.
1.5.
Process picture (station)
Figure 1.5.-1 shows an example of a station (process) picture in form of a single line
diagram. The MV processes can generally be shown in the process picture by
different representations, but the representation to be used is selected during the
picture configuration phase. Different colours are normally used for indicating the
status, but also to indicate whether an object is connected to the process or not, etc.

Setting up the MicroSCADA system is described in the MicroSCADA Installation

before starting to use the system on daily basis.

Opening an application window
An application specific start picture is the first picture displayed after an application
window has been opened. The start picture generally requires a user login (see
below) before the session can continue.

Information dialog closes the application window. Use these buttons only when you
want to end the session.

User login
In applications built with LIB 500, the start picture requests a user name and a
password. Each MicroSCADA user name is associated with a certain user profile
defined by the system manager.
The password is not displayed on the screen. If the user name and the password do
not match, or the user name does not exist, the start picture re-appears and you can
make a new attempt. Each attempt to log in is registered by the system (even the
failing attempts).
If the login succeeds, the first picture will be produced on the screen. All operations
subsequently performed on the monitor or in the application window in question will
be related to the authority profile associated with the user name. The user name will
also be included as an identifier in the event register when certain manual operations
are performed.

A new login or a logout can be performed any time in the start picture and in the

In order to prevent anybody else from using your user name and authority profile,
always logout or reset the authority level when leaving the control room.
1.13.2.
Authorization
Each user name is associated with a certain user profile which may restrict the user’s
access to pictures or data. An additional dimension in the authorization mechanism
is that the objects in process pictures can be freely grouped into authorization
groups. This means that the user can have different authorization levels for different
apparatuses. Users can also be defined to have different authorization levels for
different substations etc.
Table 1.13.2-1 Applications built with LIB 500 provide the following four
levels of authorization for the user
If a standard function does not have an authorization group defined or the group is
not included in the authorization definitions, then an authorization level from the
predefined GENERAL group is used. Thus, the GENERAL group cannot be
removed.
!
System Tools are managed from an authorization group of their own called Tools.
This means that the authorization group TOOLS must be defined in order to be able
to dedicate the system tools to a certain user(s).
The system manager is the only one who is able to add and remove users and grant
rights to the users. The password, however, is selected and may be changed by the
user exclusively. This is done in the Change Password dialog.

The authorization level of the user is reduced to the “View“ level when a certain time
(default = 8 hours) has elapsed since the last login.

Closing
Logging out
In the LIB 500 based applications logging out means that the user name and user
authority are cleared. The user is logged out:
• When the application is closed as described below.
• When a new login is performed in the start picture or in the login window.
• After an emergency picture exit in the X-monitor.
Time based logout
After a certain time has elapsed, e.g. 8 hours, an automatic logout is done. The logout
duration is defined in the Application Settings Picture, i.e. the setting is application
specific. The user has to login again via the Login dialog found in the Main menu.
The Main menu login is described earlier in the Main drop-down menu section.
Emergency picture exit
If you, for some reason, get into a locked situation where the Previous picture item
cannot be applied, you can always exit the operated picture by means of an
invisible function key.This key is one character in size and it is located in the upper
left corner. It is present on all screens and application windows, independently of
the displayed picture. In order to use the emergency exit key:
• Click three times on the upper left corner.
First, the on-going control commands in the picture are completed, although e.g. an
on-going data entry is interrupted. Then the picture will be exited and the screen
which is defined as the first picture in your application will be shown.
Depending on what kind of a monitor is used, the emergency picture exit returns to
different start pictures. When using VS local or VS Remote monitors, you will be
shown the first picture after login. However, the X-monitor will show the login
picture.
1.14.
Shifting pictures on screen
Generally, shifting picture functions on screen can be done in any of the following
ways:
• By advancing through menus displayed on screen (see the Stations example in
the next section).
• By selecting the function keys in the picture functions.
The push buttons in the picture header are described in the section “Push buttons in
the picture header,” while the basic drop-down menus are described in the section
“Picture header drop-down menus,” all in this chapter.The picture function related
menus and push buttons are described with a corresponding description of the

the field, the character below the input cursor is flashing, and the text or data can be
edited.
Typical situations when data is to be entered are in the SPA Relay Tool and RED
Relay Tool for configuring relays and terminals, in the Edit Value Limits dialog, for
simulating off-line process values, in Trends etc.
In order to enter data:
• If the input cursor is not visible, initiate the input by pressing the input field or the
input text.
• Type in the data by using the keyboard or a soft key panel in the picture.
!
If the field contains previously entered data, a space or another character in the first
character position will empty the rest of the field. In order to edit, but not to remove
previous data, start by moving the input cursor.
• Complete the entry by pressing Enter on the keyboard. If the data entry comprises
several fields, activation of another field is achieved by clicking the field with
one of the mouse buttons or by moving the cursor over to the field and by
pressing Enter.
As long as the input cursor is visible, the system is waiting for additional data. As a
basic rule, no other push buttons can be applied except the character keys, cursor
positioning keys Del, Backspace and Enter. However, the emergency exit key can
be used, as well as certain push buttons (push buttons which perform Enter as the
first command). All updating in the picture pauses during data entry.
The input fields are intended for either numerical data or texts.

Table 1.16.-1 Some used terms in the manual
Term
Explanation
Application or customer
application
All the processes and views included in an application. Normally
an application consists of an overview or a first picture and
several process pictures and application pictures.
Application picture
An application picture is a picture, which gives the user a quick
overview of the application, e.g. an Overview picture or a System
picture.
A station picture is a picture, which shows a specific station
where you can see the processes in the station.
A process picture is a picture, which shows a specific process in
a station.
In a very small application they can all be the same.
Attribute
Attributes contain the settings and definitions for the properties
of the picture functions. They are stored in the process data
base.
Authorization
Different users can have different access rights to the same
picture functions and processes.
Authorization level
Different levels of authorization give the users different types of
access (view, control operations, system manager etc.).
Authorization group
Picture functions and application pictures can be grouped into
authorization groups, thereby requiring a certain authorization
level of the user for e.g. control operations
Dialog
A dialog is a two-way communication box between the user and
the system. The dialog informs the user about what is
happening, help texts, what can be done, which functions to be
executed etc. The user responds by selecting the appropriate
push button.
First picture
The first picture which is opened after the login, also the one that
push button 1 opens (see Figure 1.7.-1).
Library function
A library function is a function in a software package that is ready
made and only needs configuration of the attributes.
LIB 500
LIB 500 contains the needed base functionality for installing
support packages like LIB 510, LIB 5xx... LIB 500 also provides
functions like the Event list, Alarm list, Busbar colouring etc.
LIB 510
LIB 510 is a support package, which contains the library
functions for using e.g. MV process functions, Trend reports,
SPA Relay Tool, RED Relay Tool, DR-Collector Tool.
Monitor
A monitor is a window which is opened to show the processes.
The size of the monitor can be 12-15 or 16-20. The type of is
also determined: VS-Local, VS-Remote or X-Monitor. One or
several monitors can be open at the same time.

The first picture to pop up after logging in is defined in the field “First picture shown
after login.” This picture such as “Application logo picture” is any xxx.PIC type of
picture. The .PIC extension can be omitted.
System location is an attribute that needs to be configured. This defines whether
MicroSCADA is running as Network Control Center (NCC) or Substation Control
System (SCS).
To be able to make any changes in the Application settings picture, the authorization
level must be System Manager (5). The only exception to this rule is the monitor
language that can be set by all users.
When “First picture shown after login” or “Application logo picture” is changed, the
program checks whether the given picture exists or not. If the result is negative, the
latest accepted value will be returned to the field and an information message about
an invalid picture name will be shown in the information bar.
If something is changed in the picture settings, the Save and Cancel buttons are
activated. The old values of unsaved data can be returned by clicking the Cancel
button. If you try to exit the picture while there are unsaved changes, an Information
dialog box will appear to confirm the exit. It is only possible to select “Yes“ or “No”
before exiting the picture. The Help button shows the common LIB 500 help dialog
box.
It is not possible to change the Application owner and items in the Product
information list box in the Application Settings picture. Subdialogs can be accessed
from the Tools menu in the header bar.

The user is informed about the authorization level reset by an information dialog.
This information dialog box appears according to the times defined in the “Session
expiring notify times.” The given times are minutes before the resetting. A
maximum of five different notifications can be given.
!
If you change the lockout duration or session length notify times, the new values will
not be taken in use until the next login.
The “Login only once” feature is enabled by pressing the toggle button down. When
“Login only once” is in use, the login to an application is required only for the first
monitor to be opened. The monitors that are opened after this inherit the
authorization from the first monitor found in the monitor mapping of the application
for this user in the workstation. The picture opened is the "first picture" defined in
the application settings. All monitors open in the workstation for the current user
will be closed when "End session" is selected from the LIB 500 menus.
The session duration can be activated or deactivated with the option buttons. If the
session duration is in use, the session duration time and the session expiring notify
times can be changed. Otherwise the session duration is unlimited and the session
expiring notify times are not accessible.You can apply the changes with the OK
button and cancel with the Cancel button. The final saving is done with the Save
button in the main picture.

there might be application specific actions to be done in MicroSCADA. With this
dialog a standard interface for those actions is offered. If adjusting applications for
daylight saving is enabled, the following functionality is available:
Event is set to the Event List and event printer.
Two command procedures are created where application specific programming can
be done. BGU_TIMEFO:C is executed when the clock is moved forwards and
BGU_TIMEBA:C is executed when the clock is moved backwards. The point of
execution time is 20 seconds after the change. Command procedures mentioned
above are executed in each application found.
It is recommended to define the point of the time change few minutes over an even
hour in order to avoid unnecessary system load.
When "Automatically adjust applications for daylight saving changes" is enabled,
the application handling the actions can be selected from the drop-down list.
The OK button applies changes and the final saving is done with the Save Changes

The dialog box Hard disk space low alarm is opened by selecting Tools - Show
object ID under the main menu bar. The Hard Disk Supervision function supervises
the free Hard Disk space. This function gives the operator an early warning if there
is a risk of running out of space on the hard disk (see Figure 2.5.8.-1).
It is possible to give a lower alarm limit for the disk space. The limit can be picked
from the drop-down list. It is also possible to type the limit from the keyboard. The
supervision function is stopped by setting the alarm limit to zero (0) or by selecting
“Not in use” from the drop-down list. A warning limit is calculated from the alarm
limit that has been given by the operator. The warning limit is 10% higher than the
low alarm limit.

pictures follow the standard colour coding of LIB 5xx, i.e. the status of the
switching device can be seen from the colour of the representation.
2. Show suffix: The representation of the switching device is always green and the
status is shown with a suffix beside the picture function.
3. Show colour and suffix: Both the colour and the suffix are shown.
The colour for the MV Process measurement field for normal, warning and alarm
states can be configured. The numbers in the fields refer to the M-scope colour. The
default settings for measurement colours are:

User Management
This chapter describes the elements and functions of the User Management tool. The
user with rights on level 5 (system manager), can make changes in the User
Management function.
2.6.1.
General
The User Management tool is for defining users and their authorization levels. In the
LIB 500 applications the standard functions in the process pictures can be freely
grouped into authorization groups. This means that a user can have different
authorization levels for different apparatus. Users can also be defined to have
different authorization levels for different tools, substations etc. (see Figure 2.6.1.-
1).
The authorization levels used:
1. View (0) = Not authorized to make operations
2. Control (1) = Authorized to make operations
3. Engineering (2) = All rights, but user definition
4. Reserved (3) = Reserved for the future
5. Reserved (4) = Reserved for the future
6. (System manager (5) = All rights)

Database Import/Export tool
2.8.1.
General
The MicroSCADA application database can be created either by using the LIB 5xx
picture functions, or by using the SigTOOL ver. 6.20 software, made by ABB Power
Automation AG, Switzerland. Both methods have advantages of their own, but in
order to combine these advantages, a link between LIB and SigTOOL must be
established. This is done by providing a tool that uses ASCII load files to transfer
the application database from the LIB 5xx-created application to SigTOOL and
back. In this method, application engineering is performed roughly as follows: by
using the LIB 5xx picture function, first a “draft” application database is created
along with the application pictures. This “draft” is then transferred to SigTOOL
using the import/export tool specified in this document. Signal engineering is
performed with the SigTOOL, after which the modified database is brought back to
MicroSCADA by using the same import/export tool. SigTOOL also provides
communication configuration files as well as the relay event masks.
In addition to SigTOOL support, the LIB 500 Database Import/Export tool also
provides a general import/export function. This can be used for example for making
a temporary back-up of the process objects in a MicroSCADA application or for
transferring process objects from one application to another. A separate file format
is provided for SigTOOL and general export; importing is similar for both file
formats.
The LIB 500 Database Import/Export tool consists of a main picture and several
dialogs and subdialogs, which will be described in the following chapters. When
using the database import/export tool, the following notifications should be made.
!
The maximum length of a load file is 10000 lines, which equals to approximately
5000 (SigTOOL compatible file format) or 3300 (general file format) process
objects.
!
Exporting or importing a large amount of process objects can temporarily load the
system, thus making the response slower.
58
1MRS751885-MUM
LIB 500 Operator’s Manual
LIB 500
2.
LIB 500 Backbone
User’s Guide
!
The process objects can only be transferred from a database to a load file or vice
versa, not for example from one load file to another.
2.8.2.
Main picture
The design in the Database Import/Export tool’s main picture (shown in Figure
2.8.2.-1 and Figure 2.8.2.-2) is similar to the other LIB 500 list pictures. The main
picture can be opened from the DB Import/Export option of the Engineering drop-
down menu.
The use and view of the Database Import/Export tool is determined by the direction
of data, i.e. whether the process objects are being exported from the application
database to a load file or the objects are imported from a file to the data base. In both
cases, the process objects can be viewed on the list before the actual import/export
procedure. This way the risk of an error is reduced.
The Database Import/Export tool dialogs can be opened by using the toolbar on the
upper left part of the main picture or by using the Tools drop-down menu. The
toolbar can be hidden temporarily.
When exporting process objects, they must first be brought to the list by using the
Read From Database dialog (the functionality of each dialog will be explained later
in this document). After this step, the main picture looks as in Figure 2.8.2.-1. Each
process object is presented as a text line containing the following attributes: logical
name (LN), index (IX), Object Identification (OI) and Object Text (OX).
In order to maintain the internal data structure of SigTOOL, each process object to
be exported to a SigTOOL 6.20 compatible load file must have the name of the
physical protection device written into its RX attribute. This is done with the
configurable attribute DATA_ACQUISITION_UNIT at LIB 5xx standard function
configuration. The second condition for exporting a process object to SigTOOL is
that it must not be a so-called internal process object, i.e. a process object used
internally by MicroSCADA and with no connection to the actual process. Internal
process objects are also identified by their RX attribute. In order to separate the
process objects not to be exported to a SigTOOL 6.20 compatible load file, they are
presented with red colour in the main picture. When exporting by using the general
load file format, all process objects brought to the list are included.
The fields on the bottom of the list indicate the OI “path” and the number of the
process objects. The field in the upper right part of the dialog indicates the number
of the current page (32 process objects/page). The list can be scrolled page by page
by using the toolbar’s double arrow keys or the corresponding Tools menu items.
The actual export to a load file is carried out by using the Export To Load File dialog.

In order to import process objects they must first be brought to the main picture list
by using the Open Load File dialog. Then the main picture looks as in Figure 2.8.2.-
2. Each process object read from the load file is presented as a text line containing
the following attributes: logical name (LN), index (IX), Object Identification (OI)
and Object Text (OX). No definition is made between importing from a SigTOOL
6.20 compatible load file or a general format load file.
The fields at the bottom of the list indicate the directory and name of the load file,
and also the number of process objects in the load file. The field in the upper right
part of the picture indicates the number of the current page (32 process objects/
page).
The list can be scrolled page by page by using the double arrow keys of the toolbar
or the corresponding Tools menu items. The actual importing to the application
database is carried out by selecting the option Import in the toolbar or in the Tools

Read From Database
This dialog is used when process objects are read from the process database of the
current application to be viewed on the main picture list and possibly exported to a
load file. The Database Import/Export tool supports the division of the process
object’s OI attribute into five fields, like all the other LIB 5xx functions do. The
Read From Database dialog has a field for each OI field (substation, bay and device
by default). The title of each field is shown on the left side of the field. If an OI field
is not in use, it is set insensitive and its title “(none)” is shown dimmed (see Figure
2.8.3.-1).

In order to read process objects from the application database, the text for each OI
field must be entered to the fields, according to the set of process objects to be read.
An asterisk “*” can be entered to indicate a free text and an empty space can be
entered to indicate an empty text string. In the example of Figure 2.8.2.-2, all non-
internal process objects related to the substation Eastwick and bay Incoming 110 kV
are read from the database.
If you click the OK button, the desired process objects will be read from the database
and set to the list of the main picture. The Cancel button withdraws all the changes
and the Help button opens the Help dialog. Due to the maximum load file length
(10000 lines), you should carefully select the process objects to be exported, for
example by creating a separate load file for each station or bay, depending on the
size of the application.

Export To Load File
With the Export To Load File dialog (see Figure 2.8.4.-1), the process objects read

compatible format can be used for exporting process objects to SigTOOL, but this
format contains only some process objects in a specific order. General format
contains all the process object attributes and it is more suitable for general purposes.

Calendar
2.9.1.
General
MicroSCADA Calendar is a tool for defining features or activities that depend on
time.
Time periods can be applied for example to define day/night tariffs, specifying
contracts that are in force, general holidays etc. Calendar data can then be utilized in
the other MicroSCADA pictures, e.g. in the report tool.
It is possible to use the Calendar to define command procedures which are to be run
by MicroSCADA on a defined day or on all days that are marked as a certain type
of day.
Default day settings are available either for all days or for workdays and Sundays
separately.
Settings that determine the operations or properties which will take place at a certain
moment of time, are defined in a day specific graphical attribute list. The attribute
list is maintained by using an attribute tool that is integrated into the calendar. Each
attribute has a graphical user interface of its own in the list.
Individual days can be configured independently with the attribute tool to have day
specific attributes.
The attribute list can also be defined for the day type. The day type is a logical name
that can be used for connecting an attribute list to a day. All attributes defined for a
day type are then applied to all days that have a link to the day type. Fast
modifications can be performed simultaneously for several days by using the
predefined day types. New day types can be created freely.
2.9.2.
Installation
Calendar is installed automatically with the LIB 500 Backbone.
2.9.3.
Opening Calendar dialog
Calendar can be started in the application main picture. Select “Calendar” in the
Options menu.
The main calendar view is used for browsing general calendar information. The
calendar shows one month at a time as a notebook sheet. The month can be changed
by clicking the notebook sheet tabs. The current day is marked with a red box (see
Figure 2.9.3.-1).

List
3.1.
Purpose and description
The purpose of the Event List is to provide the user with information about events
occurring in the system. Thus, the user can make the right decisions and verify that
taken measures are successfully performed. It is also possible to receive information
about activities carried out by other users, operations of objects, acknowledging of
alarms, editing of limit values, logging in etc. (see Figure 3.1.1.-1).
The Event List presents the data in a structured way for the user’s convenience.
Each event is normally presented by displaying an event text line, which describes
the cause of the event in the process.
Event text lines normally consist of a time stamp, object identification, a signal text
and a text indicating the status.
3.1.1.
Features/options
• Event List layout can be configured. There can be even more than 80 characters
per line.
• Printouts can also be configured to contain more than the standard 80 characters
per line.
• Scroll intervals are configurable from 10 to 100 pages, in steps of 10.
• Fast navigation in the list can be done by using the scroll bar: jump to the last
page, one page back or forward, or one interval backwards.
• Possibility to navigate to the previous day/next day or to a day typed into the
input dialog.
• User-friendly filters.
• Updating/Frozen presentation modes.
• Authorization support.
• Help in all dialogs.
• Additional comments can be given to the events (up to 250 characters per event).
• Event Reports to a printer on demand.
• Possibility to display events either in log order or event order.

Events
Event is a wide term that also comprises alarms. The event activation and
consequential actions are defined in the process database separately for each
individual object.
Typical examples of events are:
• Changes or updating of an object value
• Changes of an alarm and a warning state
• Changes of reliability stamp
• Changes of the alarm definition, alarm blocking, acknowledgement etc.
When an event occurs in the system, the operator wants to receive an answer to the
following questions (answers provided below each question):

1. What happened?
- A change in the state of the object or an executed operation.
-
2. Where did it happen?
- A descriptive text (object identification, OI and object text, OX) comprising e.g. a
device notation and the type of object or operation.
3. When did it happen?
- The point of time when the event occurred. If the event originates from a station
providing a time stamp, this time stamp will be used. Depending on the station, the
time is on a second or a millisecond level. In other cases, the time stamp is the
MicroSCADA system time with an accuracy of 10 milliseconds.
3.2.1.
Event functions
The following functions can be activated by an event:
• Updating monitor pictures.
• Automatic printout. Like alarms, events can cause automatic printouts on the
event and alarm printer.
• Registration is made in the history buffer and, in connection to this, also in the
Event List.
• Activation in the report database, e.g. automatic control operations, registration,
report printout, etc.
3.2.2.
Event activation
Depending on how crucial an object is, the following events in the object may
activate an event printout, a registration in the history buffer, or an activity in the
report database (from the least to the most crucial object):
• No activation.
• An alarm is activated and deactivated.
• The alarm or warning state changes.
• The object value changes.
• The object value is updated, although it is not changed.

General description
This chapter explains the event logging functions and displays.
Event handling is divided into two main groups:
• Event logging.
• Event viewing.
The event presentation is divided into subgroups, such as:
• Viewing events on display (Event List).
• Sequential listing to the printer.

Event List
User’s Guide
3.3.1.
Events
Events are the activities that are registered by the MicroSCADA base system in the
history database, HDB. There are two types of events: process events and internal
events. The process events are events that belong to the supervised process such as
indications, protecting events, alarm limits for measurements, tripped breakers, etc.
The internal events are events which indicate disturbances in the supervision system.
They are normally initialized by the system.
When an event occurs in the system, it is instantly printed on the event printer and
stored in the history archive. The history archive is used when the Event List is
produced on the screen. The archive contains all dynamic information related to the
event. All dynamic data from the history archive can be used to define filters. The
history archive consists of the computers RAM and of the HDB files stored on the
PC hard disk. The history database consists of the history database files, of which
each contains events of one day. The files are named according to the date as
APL_yymmdd.PHD. For example, the file APL_980115.PHD contains the events
logged on 15-Jan.-1998. The files are stored in the directory C:/SC/APL/nnn/APL_,
where nnn is the name of the application.
3.3.2.
Event logging
All activities in the supervised processes that are logged by the Base system are
stored in the process database. The process database handles all registration of the
incoming and outgoing process data. The process database is located in the
application; it is project specific but the main functions remain the same, regardless
of the application.
The events that are logged by the Base system and the database are stored on a mass
storage (the hard disk). In other words, the Base system creates files on the hard disk
where the events are stored. Every time when an event occurs in the system, the
program writes a new item in the HDB. The item in the HDB is a “snap-shot” of the
situation for the object in question when the event occurred. All dynamic data from
the actual process point is stored in the HDB.
3.3.3.
Event viewing and listing
The events can be viewed on the display by using the Event List. The default display
format of the Event List is similar to the format of the sequential printouts.
The user can define different filters to display specific events or additional
information about the events. The Event List can contain more information than the
sequential printout. The sequential printouts to the event printer are sent to the event
printer by the Base system instantly after the event has occurred in the application.
The filters do not affect the sequential printouts.
3.3.4.
Event handling
The event handling is based on the information in the HDB. In other words, the
information displayed in the Event List comes from the HDB. When the Event List
is displayed on the screen, files in the HDB on the hard disk are read and the content
is organized into a chronological order. After the content has been organized, the
events are displayed on the screen by using the format picture. The format picture
retrieves the status text from a language dependent text file. The default language is

English. The files are translated into local languages by the project engineer during
the engineering. The Text translation tool is used for the translation of the text files.
3.3.5.
Comments
Comments can be used for making remarks to events. The comments are available
to all Event List users and they can give additional information. Comments can also
be removed.

The event reporting function is used for printing events to a printer on demand. The
user can select whether to print the event report with or without comments.

The Event List supports a standard layout, which is designed to meet the demands
of the normal event display. Sequential printouts are also done according to the same
standard layout.
Table 3.4.5.1-1
The following is an example of the standard event text in the
default layout:
Explanations to Table 3.4.5.1-1:
By default, the first column starts from position 1 and the length is one character.
The column presents the object status for the object in question. In version 2.4 (and
newer) it is possible to configure the first column to be 2 characters wide, including
the alarm indicator and the status symbol. See further information in the LIB 500
Configuration Manual, Chapter 4. Event List.
The second column starts from position 2 and the length is 21 characters. This
column presents the time stamp of the event.
The third column starts from position 26 and the length is 20 characters. The column
presents the object identification (OI). The length of the text is 30 characters. In
version 2.4 it is possible to divide the OI column up to five columns. See further
information in the LIB 500 Configuration Manual, Chapter 4. Event List.
The fourth column starts from position 47 and the length is 20 characters. The
column presents the object text (OX). The length of the text is 30 characters.
The fifth column starts from position 68 and the length is 13 characters. The column
presents the status text.
The default event text
DOZD\V gives an answer to the questions What?, When? and
Where? Thus, the event texts contain these basic data both on the screen and on the
sequential event printouts. The event text will be the same in the Event List and on
the sequential event printers. Filters that are used in the Event List presentation do
not limit the normal printouts to the printer. The default event text will always fit on
the display and on the paper printouts.
3.4.5.2.
Event text layout
See Settings/Common Columns and the Event Columns folder how to change the
layout.
However, different users do not pay attention to same kind of information. In some
applications there is a need to change or to extend the event text. When extending

the event text, there may be some limitations that need to be taken into account. In
some cases, one limitation can be the width of the matrix printer that is used as the
event printer. The printing width is normally 80 characters and it is impossible to
print more information. Then the alternative is to leave out some of the basic
information.
The event text layout can be configured according to the different needs of different
applications or countries. The user can configure the event display to view
information other than the default. The event text can be changed back to the default
any time by using the Settings dialog. The additional information is displayed as
columns on the same line as the basic information. The event text layout can be
configured to allow more information displayed on the screen than what is listed to
the event printer. The event text consists of two parts: the common part and the event
specific part.
)LJ $W\SLFDOHYHQWOLQHLQWKH(YHQW/LVWFDQEHGLYLGHGLQWRWZRSDUWV
The common part of the event text contains data that the user wants to display on all
event views. The configuration of the common part can be changed in the Settings
dialog box/Common Columns folder.
The event specific data is all data, which is not common to other events. The event
specific data consists of two parts: the status text and additional data. The status text
displays the object status (Open, Close, Warning, Alarm etc.). The additional data is
determined by the event. The additional data can be any attribute that is stored in the
history buffer and the HDB. The event specific part and the Event List header can
be configured by the user. If the additional data is the same for all events, it can be
written as a label text which is common to all columns. The following example
shows a list with additional data, in this case the attributes RA (Event Number of
Starting Event) and RB (Relative Time). At present, the RA and RB attributes are
used only in the RP 571 protocol. The event specific data can be configured in the
Settings dialog box/Event Columns folder.

Changing event texts
Events stored in the History Database cannot be changed.
Event texts can be changed in the process database. The changes affect the new
events. The texts can be edited using following tools:
A) Object Navigator
B) Standard Configuration Tool
Event specific texts can be configured in form pictures and corresponding text files.
Changes made to the form picture files affect all the concerned events that are
displayed in the Event List. See further information in LIB 500 Configuration
Manual, Chapter 4. Event List.
3.4.6.
Event List layout
The Event List is designed to be easy to understand and easy to use; the layout is
clear and consistent. There are four types of navigation objects in the Event List: a
scroll box, the scroll arrows, the drop-down menus and the toolbar buttons.

3.4.7.
Scrolling
Normally, the amount of events exceeds the amount that can be shown on one page.
To enable navigation in the list, a scrolling function is needed. The list is divided into
scroll intervals. A full scroll interval is the amount of events which are referenced
from the history archive. The scroll intervals are configurable from 10 to 100 pages
in steps of 10. The scroll bar (1 and 2) located on the right hand side, scrolls the list
within the interval.
Navigation in the list is carried out according to the following functions (see Figure
3.4.6.-1):
• scroll box (2) within an interval
• scroll arrows (1) one line up/down (relocate all the events one line up or down in
the list without clearing the whole presentation window)
• scroll to the last page (“home”) (3)
• scroll one page up (4)
• scroll one page down (5)
• scroll to the previous day (6)

• scroll to the day typed in the input box (7). The current day is given as default. If
interval time limit is more than one day, the input day is considered to be the last
day of the interval. For example, if the interval time limit is 3 days, and 17.
March 1999 is given as input, the events of 15. – 17. March 1999 will be included
in the interval.
• scroll to the next day (8)
• scroll to the next/previous interval (9)
Navigating between the days equals to moving the time “window” forward or
backwards when the interval time limit is more than one day. It is not possible to
navigate to days past the current day.
3.4.8.
Updating
If the Event List is in the updating mode, the list will be updated when a new event
occurs in the system. When the list is in the frozen mode (non-updating), a message
will be displayed informing the user to proceed to the last events and to change the
mode to the updating mode.
When the Event List is in the updating mode, half a page will be shown when the list
is presented on the screen. All the new events are presented on the remaining half a
page until the page is full. When the page is full, it scrolls up a half page and new
events begin to fill the page again.
The Event List update is not automatic when:
1. the user has scrolled the list and the focus is not on the latest events.
2. the user has chosen the frozen mode.
3. the time filters are active.
In the cases mentioned above, the Event List displays a message to the user about
the new events in the system. After this the user may proceed to the Last Events. If
the time filters are on, the user will be informed to reset the filters before changing
to the updating mode.

Filters
Filters are used when the user wants to display or concentrate on specific
information. Filters are activated from a subdialog in the list. The dialog contains
standard filters that can be selected by the user. The filter dialog provides at least the
following standard filters: all events, event time, per station, per feeder, per object.
It is possible to change the existing filters or add new filters that can be stored and
reused by other operators. The filter dialog contains a specification form where the
user can create new filters or change the existing filters.
For more details about setting filters, please see the LIB 500 Configuration Manual,

General description
This chapter explains the basics of the Alarm List and concentrates primarily on
explaining the functionality and the concepts.
4.2.1.
Process database
The process database is the part of the base system where all the registration of
incoming and outgoing process data takes place. The process database also
supervises the current alarm situation of the various process objects by storing
information of process objects with an alarm generating state into a special alarm
buffer. The interface for the alarm handling is the application process database,
which is project specific, but the main functionality of the process database is always
the same.
4.2.2.
Process alarms
The process alarms are alarms that are related to the supervised process, for
example, measurement values exceeding or going below the preset alarm limits,
breakers tripping or getting into a faulty position etc.
4.2.3.
Internal alarms
The internal alarms are alarms caused by the network control system itself. Reasons
for these alarms include communication problems between a communication unit
and a substation, printer device errors, substation getting suspended, etc. These
kinds of erroneous states are detected and converted from internal system messages
to alarms by the System Self Supervision function of LIB 500.
4.2.4.
System alarm
A system alarm is an alarm generated by an external module supervising the Base
System. The external module is working as a Watch Dog for the base system and it
will generate an external alarm if the base system stops. It is not possible to include
this alarm in the Alarm List.
4.2.5.
Alarm acknowledgement
Acknowledgement of an alarm is a way to show that the operator has registered and
identified the alarm. Generally, acknowledging an alarm does not affect the alarm
state. An unacknowledged alarm remains in the alarm buffer until it is
acknowledged, even if the alarm state has passed. A required acknowledgement can
be set individually for each process object (RC attribute).
4.2.6.
Alarm blocking
Alarm blocking blocks a signal so that it cannot generate an alarm. (The same
implies for history blocking, printout blocking and reprocessing blocking.) Since the
alarm is blocked, it is not registered in the MicroSCADA database when the process
object gets into an alarm generating state.
98
1MRS751885-MUM
LIB 500 Operator’s Manual
LIB 500
4.
Alarm List
User’s Guide
It is not possible to block a feature that has not been activated (e.g. alarm, history,
printout and reprocessing features). Alarm blocking is set individually for each
process object (AB attribute).
4.2.7.
Alarm classes
The term alarm class means that the alarms can be grouped into seven equally
significant alarm classes. This feature can be used when the user wants to group
alarms caused by process objects with common properties, e.g. object location.
From the base system point of view there is no internal priority between the different
alarm classes. The alarm classes can also be used when searching alarms from the
alarm buffer. By setting the alarm class (AC attribute) to 0, the alarm function of a
process object is set off. The use of the alarm classes is user-defined.
4.3.
General functionality
This chapter describes the alarm handling mechanism of the process database, the
functionality of the LIB 500 Alarm List and the way in which the alarms are
presented on the list.
There are two ways to start the Alarm List, and the Alarm List works differently
depending on where it is started from. If the Alarm List is started by clicking the
Alarm List button
, all alarms and classes will be shown. If it is started by
selecting Reports/Alarm List/Template x, filters can also be used. When using
filters, only alarms belonging to the filter configuration are shown.
)LJ $ODUP/LVWVWDUWHGIURPWKH5HSRUWVPHQX
4.3.1.
Alarm handling mechanism
An alarm is activated in the following situations:
• An incoming binary signal (BI type process object) changes to an alarming state.
• A double indication (DB type process object) changes to an alarming state, e.g. a
breaker mid state due to a faulty operation.
• An analog measured value (AI type process object) exceeds the alarm limits (the
preset upper and lower limits).
• An object is marked faulty by a process device.
• A system error or communication failure occurs.
If the process object has an alarm function and the alarm is not blocked, information
about the alarming process object (predefined set of attribute values) will be
transferred to the alarm buffer. An alarm remains in the alarm buffer until the object
1MRS751885-MUM
LIB 500
99
4. Alarm List
LIB 500 Operator’s Manual
User’s Guide
4
returns to a non-alarming state and the alarm has been acknowledged, provided that
the object requires an acknowledgement. Process alarms and internal alarms are
handled in the same way, provided that the System Self Supervision function is in
use.
4.3.2.
Filters
Filters are used when the user wants to concentrate on certain information in the
alarm buffer. This is done by defining criteria to filter out unwanted information. A
single criterion or multiple criteria can be used. These criteria include:
• Time (lower and upper time limit, one second accuracy).
• Object identification (support to five levels, default levels: station, bay and
device, names can be read from the process database).
• Function (breakers, disconnectors, measurements etc.).
• Alarm class.
SCIL condition can also be entered manually if there are not enough ready-made
options available.
These criteria can be freely combined to create grid-like filters. Object identification
names (by default station, bay and device names) can be saved into an application
specific text file. In order to avoid unwanted filtering, the filters are reset every time
the Alarm List picture is closed. However, the filter settings (i.e. the selected
combination of filtering criteria) are saved and re-read when the Alarm List picture
is closed and re-opened.
4.3.3.
Alarm List settings
The Alarm List layout should be as configurable as possible, so that operators can
receive the information in the form they desire. The following issues in the LIB 500
Alarm List are user-defined and included in the Alarm List settings tool:
• The length of each text column (except for object identification field).
• The position of each text column (within limits).
• The colour in which each type of alarm is presented (a predefined set of colours).
• The order in which the alarms are presented (the latest alarm on the top or at the
bottom of the Alarm List).
These settings can be saved into an application specific text file. Default settings can
be returned. The length of the object identification column is defined in the
application settings picture.
It is possible to save filters and to open the Alarm List by using preconfigured filters.
4.3.4.
Alarm List presentation modes
The alarm buffer is updated every time the alarm state of a process object changes.
Basically, the Alarm List should be updated at each update of the alarm buffer to
give correct and up-to-date information. However, if the list is updated frequently,
it is almost impossible to concentrate on a single alarm line.
This is the reason why the LIB 500 Alarm List has two presentation modes: frozen
and updating. When the list is in the frozen mode, it is not updated, and the alarm
information can be read undisturbed. If the alarm buffer is updated while the Alarm

Alarm List
User’s Guide
List is in the frozen mode, the operator is notified with an informative text on the
information bar. When in the updating mode, the Alarm List is updated at every
update of the alarm buffer. The frozen mode is automatically selected when the list
is scrolled or when a tool affecting the alarm buffer is used. The current mode is
always indicated.
4.4.
Presentation
In order to meet customer requirements the LIB 500 Alarm List has two templates:
Template 1 and Template 2. Customers should select one of these templates to be
used as the Alarm List, although the templates have been designed to enable parallel
use. The templates share some of the dialogs while others are template specific.
The Alarm List is started:
1. by clicking the
button or
2. by selecting Reports/Alarm List/Template x/Menu item.
To be able to access the Alarm List by clicking the shortcut button, the button has to
be activated first. To activate the Alarm List shortcut button, copy bgu_events.pic
from the library package lib4/base/event/use under the application uplmod4/use.
When you click the shortcut button, the picture will be opened from the application
(not from the library).
4.4.1.
Template 1
In Template 1, alarms are presented on two separate lists: the upper list contains
active acknowledged and unacknowledged alarms (persisting alarms) while the
lower list contains inactive unacknowledged alarms (fleeting alarms). All the alarms
contained in the alarm buffer are presented. Both lists are scrollable. Figure 4.4.1.-1
presents the Alarm List Template 1.

Alarm text
In Template 1 each alarm is presented as a single alarm text line. This text line
consists of a time stamp (date and time), an object id, an object text and a status text.
As stated before, the length and position of each text column can be defined within
limits. The colour of each alarm type can be selected from a predefined set of nine
colours.

Acknowledgement
Acknowledgement of a single alarm is done by clicking the line of the desired alarm
on the list. If the selected alarm is unacknowledged, the line will be shown
highlighted and the Acknowledgement Dialog in Figure 4.4.1.2.-1 will be opened.
At the same time the Alarm List is set to the frozen mode to prevent unwanted
scrolling.

In the dialog, the alarm text line (except for the status text) is shown to ensure that
the right alarm is acknowledged. If OK is clicked, the alarm will be acknowledged,
the dialog closed, and the Alarm List will be set to the updating mode and also
updated. Cancel only closes the dialog and returns the Alarm List mode that was
valid when the dialog was opened. Help opens the help dialog. All alarms on the list
can also be acknowledged at the same time with the Acknowledge All tool, and the
alarms currently visible on the list can be acknowledged with the Acknowledge Page
tool (see the following chapter).
4.4.1.3.
Paging
Both lists of Template 1 can be scrolled separately. The lists are scrollable only if
there is more than one page (14 lines) of alarms. Scrolling is done with the scroll bars
on the right side of each list. The scroll arrows on the top and at the bottom of the
scroll bars scroll the list one line up or down. The scroll box between the scroll
arrows indicates the number of alarms on each list. If you click under or above the
scroll box, the list will be scrolled by three lines. Lists can also be scrolled by
dragging the scroll box with the mouse.

Other features
Template 1 (as well as Template 2) also has other features than those described
above. These templates include:
• Fields indicating the number of active and unacknowledged alarms.
• A field indicating the use of filters.
• A field indicating the current presentation mode.
• Current/total page number indication on both lists.
4.4.2.
Template 2
Template 2 in the LIB 500 Alarm List has a new approach both for functions and
design. The most significant feature is that while the list is open, inactive
acknowledged alarms are also kept on the list, unless dropped out by using filters.
Due to this, Template 2 functions as a sort of alarm log. The inactive acknowledged
alarms are not included in the alarm buffer, and therefore, these types of alarms are
erased from the list when the Alarm List picture is closed. The same can be done by
using the Reset tool. A few other new tools have been implemented, such as the tool
Acknowledge page.
Additionally, the way of presenting alarms on the list has been renewed. There are
two main changes. Firstly, all alarms are shown on a single list containing 32 lines
of alarms. Secondly, a flashing character “
*
” indicates all unacknowledged alarms,
both active and inactive. Template 2 also has a new scroll page up/down feature.
Template 2 is presented in Figure 4.4.2.0.-1.

Acknowledgement and paging
The acknowledging of alarms in Template 2 is similar to that in Template 1.
Basically, also paging is carried out in the same way, except for the fact that there is
only one list. Page up/down tools have been implemented to enable faster scrolling.
These tools can be used from the drop-down menu or from the toolbar.
4.4.2.3.
Resetting
As stated before, inactive acknowledged alarms, which are not included in the alarm
buffer, are collected to the Alarm List as long as the picture is open. This means that
the alarm information must be processed and sorted by the list itself, not by the alarm
buffer like in Template 1. Thus, Template 2 is somewhat slower than Template 1,
but when the amount of alarms is in reasonable proportions, this should not cause
any problems.
As a matter of fact, inactive acknowledged alarms are not really alarms. The only
reason to keep this type of information on the list is to show that certain process
objects have been in the alarming state and in this way to collect a kind of alarm
history. However, to get up-to-date alarm information, the user should be able to
erase inactive acknowledged alarms from the list. This can be done with the Reset
tool, which returns the contents of the alarm buffer to the list. Closing the Alarm List
picture and opening it again resets the list, too.
4.4.2.4.
Tools
Template 2 has a wider variety of tools than Template 1, but the principle of the
operation is exactly the same. For instance, the same filters are used in both alarm
list templates. The Figure 4.4.2.4.-1 shows the Tools drop-down menu and Figure
4.4.2.4.-2 shows the toolbar of Template 2. The tools are briefly described in

Filters
The ability to create filters in the Alarm List is based on a SCIL feature, which
allows to state conditions when making queries from the process database or from
the alarm and history buffers. The following filtering criteria are typical:
• Time, upper and/or lower time limit.
• Object identification (OI attribute).
• Function (breaker, disconnector, measurement etc.).
• Alarm class (can be used in grouping objects).
It is also possible to give a search condition in SCIL language.
In this chapter, OI attribute is assumed to have its default configuration, which
contains the following fields:
The LIB 500 filters support the division of object identification into five fields. The
configuration of object identification is carried out in SYS_BASCON.COM. If other
than default configuration is used, the information of this chapter must be applied
accordingly.
A single criteria or multiple criterion can be used to create grid-like filters. The
operator can save the filters in order to use them later. The station and bay names
should be produced from the actual application process database so that the filters
could be modified to follow changes in the process.

If the option button Selective Filters has been selected, only the options concerning
the substation in the drop-down combo box can be selected. This means that only
bays that belong to the station, are available in the Bay combo box. Similarly, only
devices that belong to the selected bay, can be selected in the Device combo box. If
the option button Unselective Filters has been selected, the options concerning Bay
and Device can be selected in the respective drop-down combo boxes without
limitations. It is, for example, possible to select a device without selecting a bay or
a station. As a result, all the devices with the selected name will be displayed in
filtered data, regardless of the bay or station. The lower part of the Filters dialog
contains the drop-down combo boxes where it is possible to select one alarm class
out of the seven available alarm classes, e.g. Substation, Function and the Alarm

Time filters
There are two pairs of radio buttons in the upper part of the filters main dialog by
which the Upper and Lower Time Limits can be set on/off. If the Lower Time Limit
is not in use (off), the alarms will be presented from the oldest alarm on. If the Upper
Time Limit is not in use, the alarms will be presented up to the latest alarm. Only
when a time limit is in use, the corresponding time field and the Edit button are
available. By default, the current time (the time when the main dialog is opened) is
shown in both time fields. This is possible, unless one or both of the time limits is/
are in use, in which case the value in question will be set.
The clicking of the Edit button opens the Edit Time dialog, by which the time limits
can be edited. The dialog title text indicates which time limit is being edited. Each
time unit value can be changed either by inserting a new value to the field or by
clicking the arrow buttons beside each field. These buttons set the corresponding
value up or down by one unit. If the inserted value is not valid, the previous value
will be returned. The earliest possible year is 1978 and the latest 2045; other time
units have their “natural” limits. The different number of days in different months
has been taken into account. The OK button applies the value to the main dialog and
closes the dialog. Cancel only closes the dialog.

4.6.
Settings
The ability to change the layout of the Alarm List is based simply on the use of
variables such as the alarm type colour numbers, text column positions and string
lengths. These settings can be saved into an application specific text file and they
can also be read from there. Therefore, the settings which were once selected will
not be lost.
4.6.1.
Colour settings
The Alarm List colours are so-called M-scope colours. These colours are monitor
specific, i.e. used by all pictures shown in the monitor in question.They can also be
determined with the TOOL Colour Settings picture by changing the RGB
components of the colours. The M-scope colours are identified by a number, for
example, 16 equals to red in
³0´. By giving a new value, each colour used in the
Alarm List can be changed. Since these colours can be remixed, they must be
selected from a colour palette instead of the written colour names to avoid
confusion.
4.6.2.
Text settings
In the Alarm List settings tools the starting position of each of the five text columns
(date, time, object id, object text and status text) is given in semigraphic characters
(16*20 pixels). A ruler indicating the current column positions and setting limits is
also shown.
To avoid excessive string lengths, an upper length limit is determined for each
column. Since four of the five columns consist of attribute values, the maximum
lengths of the attributes provide these limits. It must be noted that as a proportional
font is used, the function between the column lengths and positions is not linear, i.e.

different characters require a different amount of space. As stated before, the length
of the object identification column is determined in the application settings picture.
4.6.3.
Main settings functionality
The two Alarm List Templates have settings dialogs of their own but since the
difference is limited to the amount of alarm types, both of the dialogs can be
described at the same time.

When the dialog is opened (Figure 4.6.3.-1), active settings are shown.
As it can be seen in Figure 4.6.3.-1, the Settings dialog has two main parts, Text
Settings and Colour Settings. The former contains length (except for the OI column)
and position fields for each of the five Alarm List text columns. There is also a pair
of radio buttons which can be used to determine the drawing order of the Alarm List,
i.e. whether the latest alarm will be shown on the top or at the bottom of the list. The
Colour Settings part includes colour palettes for each alarm type.
4.6.4.
Colour settings
This is where the settings dialogs of the two Templates differ: since inactive
acknowledged alarms are not included in Template 1, its setting dialog has only
three colour palettes while Template 2 has four. With these palettes the user can
select a drawing colour for each alarm type from a set of nine M-scope colours.
Figure 4.6.4.-1 shows an example of the colour palette.

Text settings
Three different properties of the Alarm List can be modified with the Text Settings
part of the Settings dialog: 1) the position of each text column, 2) the length of each
text column (except for the OI column) and 3) the order of the alarms on the list. The
column lengths are shown in the fields on the upper left part of the dialog. A new
value can be inserted into each field. If it is between 0 and the preset upper limit
(given later), it will be accepted, otherwise the old value will be returned.
The fields on the upper right part of the dialog contain the position of each column
in semigraphic characters. A new value can also be inserted here. If the value is
valid, i.e. the value is between the preset upper and lower limit (given later) and the
order of the columns from left to right does not change, the new value will be
accepted, otherwise the old value will be returned. In order to illustrate the positions
and limits, the ruler in Figure 4.6.5.-1 will be shown when the Settings dialog is
opened. The lighter grey area in the ruler represents the range of limits and the black
triangles represent the current positions.

The following table contains the text settings limits of both Alarm Lists Templates.
These limits are set to prevent the use of irrational settings. Due to a slightly different
layout of the Templates, also the limits are somewhat different.

Saving and reading settings
Clicking OK in the Settings dialog saves the settings into the same text file they were
read from.
The settings tool also has a mechanism to return the default settings to the dialog and
to the Alarm List. This feature is implemented in order to ensure that the original
values can be returned whenever needed. This function can be utilised in cases when
the settings made by the user are incorrect or need restoration. Please note that no
settings are saved to the default settings files. Cancel and Help buttons function as
in the Filters main dialog.

Description
The Blocking List within the LIB 500 Applications summarizes the present blocking

text line, which describes the signal in the process. The signal text line normally
consists of a signal text and a group of check boxes indicating the blocking state.

General description
This chapter explains the basics and the functions of the Blocking List.
5.2.1.
Process objects and signals
The process database is the part of the Base System where all the registration of
incoming and outgoing process data takes place. Each process device is represented
in the database as a group of process objects, which provides a data image of the
physical device.
On the other hand, process objects form a link between MicroSCADA and the
physical device. Setting the values of the process objects carries out the control
commands. The indication signals are also stored as process object values. From this
point of view, process objects can be regarded as input and output signals, which
will be the targets of the blocking activity.
5.2.2.
Blocking attributes and blocking types
The MicroSCADA version 8.4.3 provides a wide range of blocking attributes, which
are included in the Blocking List. To provide a blocking handling mechanism in a
more clear and rational way, the following blocking types are provided by the LIB
500 Blocking List:
• Alarm blocking: alarms are not raised, regardless of the object state.
• Update blocking: indications are not updated by the process.
• Control blocking: operation commands are not sent to the process.
• Event blocking: event registrations are not made, events are not shown on the
event list.
• Printout blocking: events are not sent to the printer.
• Reprocessing blocking: event channel activation is blocked.
Figure 5.2.2.-1 shows the Bay Blockings dialog as an example.

Functional description
This chapter describes the blocking handling mechanism of the process database and
the functionality of the LIB 500 Blocking List.
5.3.1.
Blocking attribute handling
As stated before, simply setting the corresponding blocking attribute value to 0 or 1
performs the blocking and deblocking of a signal. This, and the fact that there is no
tag in the database indicating when an individual signal has been blocked or
deblocked, means that the Blocking List cannot be a dynamic picture. Polling the
blocking attributes of all the signals in the database at regular intervals would be a
too heavy load for the system. A Refresh function is provided to enable updating of
the blocking information.
Finally, the blocking activity must be expanded to the signal level. The reason for
this is that, for example, in case of an oscillating signal, the user must be able to
block it but leave the other signals (related to the device in question) unblocked to
minimize the information loss. Blocking should be possible in two ways: 1) the user
should be able to set the blocking state of each signal presented on the list and 2) the
user should be able to fetch any signal from the database and set its blocking.
When a signal is update-deblocked, its state in the database is not necessarily up-to-
date, since the state of the process device may have changed while the signal has
been update-blocked. Therefore, the state of each signal must be updated from the
process when the signal is update-deblocked. This can be done by a command
procedure similar to the one used by the LIB 500 picture functions in the same
situation.

Main picture functions
A signal with required properties (at least one non-zero blocking attribute value) is
presented on the Blocking List in form of a text line (See Figure 5.4.1-1). This text
line consists of a signal text (5) (the OI and OX attributes of the process object) and
a row of check boxes (3) indicating the blocking state of the signal. An X in the
check box means that the corresponding blocking is set to the signal. In addition to
the check boxes, the blocking state is also indicated by the colour of the signal text
line. The default colours correspond to those in the LIB 500 picture functions and
are listed below in an ascending priority order:
• Brown: control blocked.
• Yellow: alarm, event, printout or reprocessing blocked.
• Magenta: update blocked.
At the bottom of the picture there is a row of fields (8) indicating the number of
signals within each blocking type. Please note that since a signal can have more than
one blocking type set on, the sum of the numbers shown in the above-mentioned
fields has no meaning.
The length of the list is 32 lines per page. The current page and the total number of
pages is shown in the page number field (4). If there are more than 32 signals on the
list, the list can be scrolled by the scroll arrows (7), by clicking below or above the
scroll box (6), by dragging the scroll box, or by using the (2) arrow buttons of the
toolbar or the corresponding items of the Tools menu (1). The Blocking List tools

Signal Blocking State
By simply clicking the line of the signal in question, you can set the blocking state
of each signal shown on the list. This shows the line highlighted and opens the Signal
Blocking State dialog of Figure 5.4.2.1.-1. This dialog has two columns of radio
buttons, which indicate the blocking state of the signal. If the Block button is set, the
signal will be blocked, otherwise the Deblock button will be set. Since a signal can
be either of indication or control type, the pair of radio buttons corresponding to
either one of the blocking types is unset and unavailable, depending on the signal.
The blocking state of the signal can be set with the radio buttons. By clicking the OK
button, the selections are set, the Blocking List is updated and the dialog is closed.
The Cancel button redraws the list (the highlight effect is removed in this way) and
closes the dialog. Help opens the LIB 500 Help dialog with an appropriate help text.
Please note that if all the blockings are deblocked, the signal will be removed from
the Blocking List. If a non-internal signal is in the update-deblocked mode and it is
connected to a process, its state will be updated. Please also see Chapter 5.5.3
concerning the blocking conditions.

The numbers of all the transparent printers found are shown in the combo box, where
the target printer can also be selected. The field next to the combo box indicates the
number of lines printed on each page. The default value is 63 and the range is from
1 to 999. A header and a footer are also printed on each page. The blocking state of
each signal is indicated by using the blocking type abbreviations stated in the
previous chapter.

Blocking List Settings
The settings part of the Blocking List functions consists of two main parts: view and
event/printout settings. The user can concentrate on one or more blocking types by
excluding the other blocking types from the list with the view part of the Blocking
List Settings dialog (shown in Figure 5.4.2.3.-1).
Concerning the presentation of the Blocking List Settings, the dialog has a HMI like
the previous dialog. When the dialog is opened, the radio buttons indicate the current
view, and the same buttons can be used to include or exclude blocking types. At least
one blocking type must be included, otherwise the OK button will not be available.
The current view is also the master switch of all the Blocking List activities: only
those blocking types within the current view are included in the blocking,
deblocking and printing activities. If a blocking type is not within the current view,
the corresponding radio buttons in all Blocking List dialogs will be unavailable.
The two toggle buttons in the lower part of the dialog determine whether an event
and/or a printout is enabled, and when signals are blocked or deblocked by using the
Blocking List. Events and printouts are enabled/disabled regardless of the attributes
(e.g. HE and PB) of the target signal.
The OK button sets the selected settings to the Blocking List and closes the dialog.
The Cancel button only closes the dialog. Help opens the LIB 500 Help dialog with
an appropriate help text.

Selective Signal Blocking
The Selective Signal Blocking tool of the Blocking List fulfils the other basic
purpose of the Blocking List: the ability to fetch an individual signal or any group
of signals, previously blocked or not, from the database and set the blocking state of
these signals. This tool consists of three dialogs: the main dialog (Figure 5.4.2.4.-1),
the Search Signals dialog (Figure 5.4.2.4.-2) and the Select Blockings dialog (Figure
5.4.2.4.-3).
You can select this option by clicking the
push button or by choosing
Selective Blocking in the Tools menu.
The Selective Signal Blocking main dialog has a HMI similar to that of the LIB 510
Trend basket. The dialog has two lists: the one to the left with a title “Signals”
contains the signals fetched from the database and the one to the right with a title
“Selected Signals” contains the signals selected to be blocked or deblocked. On both
of these lists, each signal is presented as a three-line block (an OI attribute, an OX
attribute and a dashed line to separate the signals). Both lists are scrollable.

following three parts: a station name (10 characters), a bay name (15 characters) and
a device name (5 characters). Up to five parts of the OI attributes are supported.
When the dialog is opened, it reads the label and the length of each of the three parts
from APL:BSV(15). The station, bay, device etc. names of the desired signal(s) can
be entered into the dialog fields, but the following rules must be followed:
• The bay and device name fields can be left empty if the desired signal has no bay

Blocking attributes and blocking types
The MicroSCADA provides a wide range of blocking attributes, which are included
in the Blocking List. To provide a blocking handling mechanism in a more clear and
rational way, the following blocking types are provided by the LIB 500 Blocking
List:
• Alarm blocking (AB): alarms are not raised, regardless of the object state.
• Update blocking (UB): indications are not updated by the process.
• Control blocking (CB): operation commands are not sent to the process.
• Event blocking (EB): event registrations are not made, events are not shown on
the event list.
• Printout blocking (PB): events are not sent to the printer.
• Reprocessing blocking (RB): event channel activation is blocked.
It must be noted that the abbreviations in the list above are not process object
attributes, but abbreviations used in the LIB 500 Blocking List. To clarify the
connection between the blocking types and the attribute values, they are given
together in the following table.
Table 5.5.1-1
Blocking types and their attribute values
5.5.2.
Blocking in LIB 500 picture functions
The LIB 500 picture functions have a blocking functionality by which the process
objects can be blocked on the following levels: station, bay and device. For example,
blocking on the bay level means that all process objects (except for the internal
objects) within the bay in question are blocked. The process objects are in this case
identified by their OI attribute, which by default has the following three parts: a
station name (10 characters), a bay name (15 characters) and a device name (5
characters). In this way, all process objects within each station, bay and device can
be found in the database. Blocking is handled by a special blocking dialog, which

Blocking conditions
A blocking can be made only if an alarm class has been defined for it.
The values of the process object attributes are viewed to judge whether it is
reasonable to make a blocking for it or not.

System Self Supervision
6.1.
Overview and description
The LIB 500 System Self Supervision (SSS) is used with the MicroSCADA systems
for supervising and monitoring the system. It provides status information of
hardware and software, as well as picture functions for the supervision of system
objects.
The LIB 500 System Self Supervision consists of:
• Supervision Base (SSS Backbone)
• Supervision Monitoring (SSS HMI)
The Supervision Base and the Supervision Monitoring are to be seen as independent
components. The SSS Backbone functionality includes the basic functions of the
System Self Supervision and it can be used in several system environments.
The Supervision Base operates without the presence of the Supervision Monitoring
part.Therefore, it can be used in various system environments (SYS 500, SMS 510
and COM 500).
The Supervision Monitoring includes the HMI, which provides a set of supervised
picture functions that can be inserted to the system supervision picture. The
Supervision Monitoring part is attached to the Supervision Base through the process
database, i.e. indications for the object’s state is used as an interface between the
Supervision Base and the Supervision Monitoring part. The SSS HMI provides the
monitoring part of the System Self Supervision and it can be used only in the LIB
500 environment.

Event and alarm indications
Each object may include several events and/or alarms generated to the Event and the
Alarm List. Events and alarms of each supervised object are generated according to
the event filtering specified during the configuration phase of the Supervision Base
functionality (see the LIB 500 Configuration Manual, Chapter 8. System Self
Supervision for further details).
Please note that in case of an alarm, both the group and informative alarms are
generated to the Alarm List. The group alarm indicates the current state of the
supervised object and it is set to the normal value as the alarm is lowered (i.e. the
supervised object receives the normalised event). The informative alarm indicates
the cause of the alarm (e.g. Device suspended [13371]) and it is set to the normal
value as the alarm is being acknowledged.

Supervision Log Viewer
6.11.1.
Overview
The Supervision Log Viewer is used to monitor the information that has been
collected by the System Self Supervision and the Microsoft Windows NT operating
system. The Supervision Log Viewer displays transparently the information
included into several log file types stored into the hard disk. These files contain
information in form of events coming from both hardware and software.
Filters can also be used to focus on information from certain objects of interest. The
user can view the log entries in the Supervision Log Viewer, but editing is not
possible. Updating of the Supervision Log Viewer is based on the user’s actions; it
is not updated spontaneously, when new log entries are received into the system.
The information collected by System Self Supervision can also appear in event and
alarm lists, but as default always in the generated log files.

• Common System Messages
• Unknown Process Messages
Views containing information about the Microsoft Windows NT Operating System:
• System Events
• Security Events

6.11.2.1.
Common events
Common events include events from the communication unit, as well as predefined
events in stations and in the MicroSCADA Base System. Predefined events occur,
for example, when a connection to a station is lost or re-established. A
MicroSCADA Base System event occurs related to certain events from a printer, a
communication unit or an external clock connected to the system.
The Supervision Base stores the incoming events and the information related to
them into a common system message file, which is located in the subfolder of the
current application. In this file each line allocates one event.
The Supervision Log Viewer adapts the functionality according to the definitions
done during the configuration of the Supervision Base functionality. For the
common system message file these are: location, length and used delimiter for event
information in this common system message file. The LIB 500 Configuration
manual, Chapter 8. System Self Supervision, should be available during the
configuration phase.

MicroSCADA system. Typical events are e.g. spontaneous messages from the relay
modules. Supervision Base stores the incoming undefined process object events to
the undefined process objects file if it has been activated by the user (see Figure
6.11.4.3.-2 Mechanism In Use). The file is located in the subfolder of the current
application. In this file each line includes one event.
The Supervision Log Viewer adapts the functionality according to the definitions
done during the configuration of the Supervision Base functionality. For the
undefined process object file these are: location, length and used delimiter for event
information in this undefined process object file. The LIB 500 Configuration
manual, Chapter 8. System Self Supervision, should be available during the
configuration phase.

Undefined Process Objects events contain the following information:
• Time stamp with seconds, e.g. 1999-12-14 08:08:34.
• Unit number attribute name, e.g. Message to station.
• Unit number, i.e. station number, e.g. 113.
• Object address attribute name, e.g. object address.
• Object address value, e.g. 3710.

Operating System events
The Operating System based events are generated by Microsoft Windows NT. The
information in the log file is consistent with events visible through Windows NT
Event Viewer. Three different event types are generated by Microsoft Windows NT:
System, Security and Application. The Supervision Log Viewer stores these
incoming events into files of their own, if defined so. These different event types
will be described in the following sections.
System events
Microsoft Windows NT System Events are saved in the file system events log file,
which is located in the subfolder of current application. In this file multiple lines are
allocated for information of one event. The Supervision Log Viewer recognizes the
beginning of each event from the event tag header.

System Events contain the following information:
• Time stamp with seconds, e.g. 1999-12-03 08:30:52.
• Source specific event id, which identifies the message together with the name of
the source, e.g. 9.
• Type of the event (ERROR, WARNING, INFORMATION, AUDIT_SUCCESS,
AUDIT_FAILURE), e.g. INFORMATION.
• Source specific subcategory. This information is shown only in the Event Details
dialog.
• Active user (if possible to define) at the time when the event was logged, e.g.
Administrator.
• Name of the computer that generated the event, e.g. FIMIT-RVS-S11.
• Domain name of the computer that generated the event.
• Name of the source, i.e. application, service, driver, subsystem that generated the
entry, e.g. Print.
• Log type of the event is always SYSTEM. When SYSTEM events are shown in
the Supervision Log Viewer, it is not possible to view SECURITY or
APPLICATION events simultaneously.

of the vector. If the line is longer than 255 characters, it will be cut to 255
characters. This information is shown only in the Event Details dialog.
If the text N/A, i.e. Not Applicable, is shown for an event it means that the specified
item is not included in the received event information.
Security events
Microsoft Windows NT Security Events are saved in the security events log file,
which is located in the subfolder of the current application. In this file multiple lines
are allocated for information on one event. The Supervision Log Viewer recognizes
the beginning of each event from the event tag header.
Security Events contain the following information:
• Time stamp with seconds, e.g. 1999-12-03 08:30:52.
• Source specific event id, which identifies the message together with the name of
the source, e.g. 9.

Selection
Explanation
Handler State
The configuration of whether Microsoft Windows NT
Operating System Events are to be supervised into the
MicroSCADA system (Enabled) or not (Disabled). If the
handler is in the enabled state, it is possible to log five
types of events in Microsoft Windows NT. If the appropriate
dialog item for ERROR, WARNING, INFORMATION,
AUDIT SUCCESS or AUDIT FAILURE is selected in the
Operating System Events dialog, it means that it has been
configured to be supervised into the MicroSCADA Base
System.
The LIB 500 Configuration Manual, Chapter 8. System Self
Supervision, should be available during the configuration
work.
ERROR
Error events indicate significant problems that should be
informed to the user. These types of events usually indicate
a loss of functionality or data.
WARNING
Warning events indicate problems which are not significant
immediately. However, they are indicators for conditions,
which may cause problems in the future.
INFORMATION
Information events indicate the typically infrequent, but
significantly successful operations in Microsoft Windows
NT. E.g. when Microsoft SQL Server has been initialized
successfully, there may be a need to log an information
event stating that “SQL Server has started successfully.”
AUDIT SUCCESS
Success audit events are security events which occur,
when an audited access attempt has been successful. E.g.
a successful logon has occurred in Microsoft Windows NT.
AUDIT FAILURE
Failure audit events are security events which occur, when
an audited access attempt has not been successful. E.g.
an unsuccessful logon has occurred in Microsoft Windows
NT.

You can provide the settings in Figure 6.11.4.3.-3 on-line via the HMI and they are
in use until the MicroSCADA system is shut down. The settings in the
MicroSCADA Base System configuration file, (SYS_BASCON.COM), are read at
start-up. Therefore, permanent changes have to be made in the MicroSCADA Base
System (SYS_BASCON.COM), e.g. settings like enabled or disabled, and picking
of the types of events to be supervised. Therefore, if the basic configuration is that
the whole function is set disabled or some of the selectable events are not supervised,
these events are unavailable in the dialog.
Supervision Log Profile
By using the Supervision Log Profile dialog, it is possible to filter the displayed
event information in the Supervision Log Viewer. Only the events which fulfil the
filter conditions and are found in the log files are shown in the Supervision Log
Viewer. In this way it is easier to focus on events received from a certain supervised
object item.
The Supervision Log Profile is available for log types selected from the Log menu.
By means of this function you can select the following for all the log types:
• Events from the first event to the last event.
• Events within a certain time period.
• Events after the last system start-up.
By means of this function you can also select the following for the Unknown Process
Object log type:
• Select station items of interest to be monitored.
By means of this function you can also select the following for the Common System
Message log type:
• Select the communication unit, communication unit line and station items of
interest to be monitored.
