DPL Data Tag Email Configuration

After the Gateway Configuration and the Notification Times have been setup, this screen can be used to define the specific Data Tags on the equipment that should trigger the alarm emails to be sent the service manager and to the site superintendents defined on the Contract.
i.e. Oil pressure low, Fuel low, Running to hot, etc.

Default Notes to be included on the email can also be entered for each notification level, that can be used to explain what action is required for the equipment.

Use the following configuration utilities to structure your firm's alert process:

CONFIGURATION

Select each of the following setup utilities in turn and in the following sequence:

• Gateway Configuration - controls the alarm processing frequency, timeout intervals, and error emailing

• Notification Times - setup for notification codes to control when notifications get sent, and defaults for Data Tags

• Data Tags - defines individual alarm codes retrieved by DPL with optional action notes to email, and the email retry and interval values

• Notification Matrix - groups the Data Tags into categories or Levels that can be assigned to Service Managers and Site Superintendents as Notify Levels

• Division Setup - setup divisional equipment Service Manager to receive alerts, with time offset for different time zones

When the Data Tags option is selected from the Configuration radio group, the following fields can be used to setup the alert trigger table that is used by the DPL monitoring the equipment:

SEQ

The sequence number tracks the data tag records in this table.

DATA TAG

Enter the Tag representing this alert, using up to 14 characters.
e.g. Fuel, Oil, etc

Note: The system defined Data Tag "Unidentified" is a catch-all tag used if an alert is to be emailed to a Tag that does not match the Tags in the list. This Tag record cannot be deleted.

DESCRIPTION

Enter the description of the alarm, using up to 30 characters.
e.g. Oil pressure too low.

NOTES

A window is provided to access sub-windows for each of the three Notification Levels of 'None', 'Reports Only', and 'Critical Care', to capture detailed notes about the action required on the equipment at that level of care.
These Notes are included in the alert emails sent to the service manager and to the site superintendents assigned on the Contract.
e.g. Oil pressure is critically low. Stop use of this equipment immediately and cool it down before adding oil.

# RETRIES

Enter the number of times this alert should be resubmitted to the email queue, if the email fails or "times out".
An Interface Error Log is maintained to review email errors, and the error log is also emailed to the address defined in the Gateway Configuration.

INTERVAL

Enter the number of minutes to wait between resending the same email, if the email has failed.
