The PLM reset alarm button was clicked on the PLM record and reset all alarms for PLM. |
|
PLM ‘<PLM Name>’ automatically inhibited. |
The PLM has been automatically inhibited based on a state change for a configured or multistate status. The PLM will no longer process. |
|
PLM ‘<PLM Name>’ automatically enabled. |
The PLM has been automatically enabled based on a state change for a configured or multistate status. The PLM will continue to process. |
|
PLM inhibited. |
PLM is now inhibited (if it was not previously inhibited when checking for it). |
|
PLM enabled. |
PLM is enabled. |
|
PLM <PLM Name> ignoring reading of <PLM volume reading> from volume device <plmvoldevice Name> which exceeded <plmvoldevice limit> (Low limit check). |
Ignoring reading of PLM when it exceeds the lower constraint set by the plmvoldevice. |
|
PLM <PLM Name> ignoring reading of <PLM volume reading> from volume device <plmvoldevice Name> which exceeded <plmvoldevice limit> (High limit check). |
Ignoring reading of PLM when it exceeds the higher constraint set by the plmvoldevice. |
|
Recovering from an outage. The <Term period> term <Term time unit> data will remain as 0 from <Term time unit> <Beginning zero time> to <End zero time>. |
PLM recovering from outage where the data remains as 0 because Do Not Backfill Term Data is enabled. |
|
Recovering from an outage. The <Term period> term <Term time. unit> data will be backfilled with an average value from <Term time unit> <Beginning zero time> to <End zero time>. |
PLM recovering from an outage where the data is backfilled with an average value because Do Not Backfill Term Data is disabled. |
|
Period <Term period> <Term unit> cleared since deadband check has succeeded. |
When the deadband check succeeds, it clears the period of the PLM’s pipeline. |
|
PLM reset for the <Term period> term arrays. |

|
<PLM Term period> Changed from steady state to transient state. Over/short limits adjusted. |
Event generated when the PLM record changes from a steady to transient state. |
|
<PLM Term period> Changed from transient state to steady state. Over/short limits returned to normal. |
Event generated when the PLM record changes from a transient to steady state. |
|
PLM - <Alarm severity number> <Alarm severity Name>. |
PLM message used to show severity details for the message. |
|
PLM - <Alarm severity number> <Alarm severity Name> - <Period Time> <Period Time Measurement Unit> (<Deviation>), <Period Time> <Period Time Measurement Unit> (<Deviation>), … - Note: A variation of this alarm will add the word "Voting" before <Period Time> for terms that are configured to use Voting as the Type of Limit. In this case <Deviation> will be replaced by <Bad Deviation Count>. |
PLM message used as a prefix to build an alarm message beginning with the severity details of the message builder. |
|
