AlarmConfig Bug

zacslade · April 13, 2019, 12:03am

Hi All,

I’m working on bulk-configuring alarms for a group of tags. I noticed that if I run configuration on an alarm that doesn’t exist, it creates an alarm with the specified property. So, I ran the following script, hoping to create a bunch of alarms on a group of tags…

def makeTemperatureAlarms():
	#This function makes all the temperature alarms
	
	#this will hold our tag paths
	paths = []
	
	#grab the bottom platen tags
	tags = system.tag.browseTagsSimple("[default]_TMMTags_/M0_Bottom/Ints","ASC")
	for tag in tags:
		if (tag.name[:4] == "PLTN") & (tag.name[-2:] == "FB"):
			paths.append(tag.fullPath)
	
	#grab the top platen tags
	tags = system.tag.browseTagsSimple("[default]_TMMTags_/M0_Top/Ints","ASC")
	for tag in tags:
		if (tag.name[:4] == "PLTN") & (tag.name[-2:] == "FB"):
			paths.append(tag.fullPath)
	
	#this will hold all the changes we're making to the alarms.
	alarmConfig = {
		"Hi Alarm":[["name", "Value","Hi Temp"],["Mode", "Value", "Above Setpoint"],["Label","Value","Hi Temp Alarm"]],
		"HiHi Alarm":[["name", "Value","HiHi Temp"],["Mode", "Value", "Above Setpoint"],["Label","Value","HiHi Temp Alarm"]],
		"Lo Alarm":[["name", "Value","Lo Temp"],["Mode", "Value", "Below Setpoint"],["Label","Value","Lo Temp Alarm"]],
		"LoLo Alarm":[["name", "Value","LoLo Temp"],["mode", "Value", "Below Setpoint"],["label","Value","LoLo Temp Alarm"]],
		}
	
	system.tag.editAlarmConfig(paths,alarmConfig)

And it broke my tags, so now I get the following error whenever I try to open the properties for any tag, not just the ones affected by the script.

Any help? How do I recover from this?

Thanks!

Recovered. Here’s what I did:

First, I spent some time studying the command line options for the Gateway Command Line Utility. Then I carefully typed in the path to the folder where ignition is installed… then I wrote a batch file to do that for me. (jkjkjk but for real, command line tools are a step backwards)

I restarted the gateway, and then I could open my tags. There were no alarms configured anymore. I learned from this page that AlarmMode is an enum. So I changed my script to this, and it worked:

def makeTemperatureAlarms():
	#This function disables all temperature alarms
	
	#this will hold our tag paths
	paths = []
	
	#grab the bottom platen tags
	tags = system.tag.browseTagsSimple("[default]_TMMTags_/MLS300_Bottom/Ints","ASC")
	for tag in tags:
		if (tag.name[:4] == "PLTN") & (tag.name[-2:] == "FB"):
			paths.append(tag.fullPath)
	
	#grab the top platen tags
	tags = system.tag.browseTagsSimple("[default]_TMMTags_/MLS300_Top/Ints","ASC")
	for tag in tags:
		if (tag.name[:4] == "PLTN") & (tag.name[-2:] == "FB"):
			paths.append(tag.fullPath)
	
	#this will hold all the changes we're making to the alarms.
	#public static final AlarmMode AboveValue
	alarmConfig = {
		"Hi Alarm":[["name", "Value","Hi Temp"],["mode", "Value", 2],["label","Value","Hi Temp Alarm"]],
		"HiHi Alarm":[["name", "Value","HiHi Temp"],["mode", "Value", 2],["label","Value","HiHi Temp Alarm"]],
		"Lo Alarm":[["name", "Value","Lo Temp"],["mode", "Value", 3],["label","Value","Lo Temp Alarm"]],
		"LoLo Alarm":[["name", "Value","LoLo Temp"],["mode", "Value", 3],["label","Value","LoLo Temp Alarm"]],
		}
	
	system.tag.editAlarmConfig(paths,alarmConfig)

I still think this probably deserves some bug-fixing attention, or at least an update to the manual to show what I should have typed here for “mode”.
