The following table lists events that are generated by Line Blockage related to valves. If a valve has a status or multistate configured as its telemetry source, alarms and events will be generated against this point rather than the valve record.

Event Text

Description

Inhibit Type

Flow Path flag added to valve.

An event that occurs whenever a change in topography results in the Flow Path flag on a valve being added. This addition indicates that the valve's closure would result in a pump blockage.

Off-normal inhibit

Flow Path flag removed from valve.

An event that occurs whenever a change in topography results in the Flow Path flag on a valve being removed. This removal indicates that the valve's closure would no longer result in a pump blockage.

Off-normal inhibit

Logic Excluded Mode Timer started. Logic state will revert in <minutes> minutes.

A valve's logic mode has been changed out of In Service with a timer configured. After the indicated duration, the logic mode will revert to In Service.

Return-to-normal inhibit

Logic Excluded Mode Timer reset. Logic state will revert in <minutes> minutes.

A valve's logic mode timer was reset. The countdown to when the logic mode will be reverted is restarted to the configured duration.

Return-to-normal inhibit

Logic Excluded Mode Timer canceled.

A timer to automatically revert the logic mode was canceled.

Return-to-normal inhibit

Logic Excluded Mode Timer expired. Reverting to 'In Service'.

A timer expired and the logic mode reverted back to In Service.

Return-to-normal inhibit

An override was performed for <type> by <username> at <location>.

An event that is generated when a Controller overrides a warning when executing a command on a valve.

Off-Normal Event Inhibit

Shut Down sequence automatically executed for <device names> due to command โ€˜<command>โ€™ on valve <valve name>.

A shut down action sequence was initiated due to an authorized valve command that resulted in a Line Blockage (Close, In Service, Out Of Service Close). This event is attached to the actionSequence record that was activated.

Off-Normal Inhibit
