Issue
When integrating I/NET into Vista; by default I/NET alarms do not show the station name, link name, or device name (point name).
Environment
I/NET Seven
Vista 4.5 and up
Cause
The settings on the $AlarmColumns object in Vista do not have the I/NET column fields checked by default.
Resolution
To customize the Vista alarm queue with the proper fields for I/NET alarms please follow these steps.
- Click on the root level TAC Vista object in the Vista tree.
- Right click on the $AlarmColumns object and choose properties.
- Check the desired boxes in the Columns fields.
Note:
The link name selection will display the I/NET link name that the alarm originated from.
Example: Link 5 South Campus
The station name field will display the I/Net station name that the alarm originated from.
Example: AHU5
The device name field will display the physical point name programmed within the I/NET controller.
Example: OA Damper
The site field is only needed when using DLA (distributed link architecture) and will display the name of the DLA site
Example: Site 1 North Campus
