Action Groups
An Action Group is a set of actions assigned to a
device when its ADV is defined. The Action Group
defines what will happen in response to a given event.
For example, a Loop Action Group definition defines
what happens when the state of a communication loop
changes from OK to Trouble, or from Trouble back
to OK.
Responses can include sending a command file [when
an event is received, acknowledged, or cleared] and/
or the activation of a sound file. Additionally, a
message can be attached which appears in the Alarm
Details view when the initiating action occurs.
The list of trigger events available depends on the
type of device being configured. For example, a
supervised input point Action Group will include
three sets of Actions triggered when the state of the
point is Active, Normal, and Trouble. Each state is
assigned a priority and a Time Zone during which the
actions apply. [If a state is assigned a priority of zero,
no actions apply. The Time Zone defaults to Always,
meaning the action is always applicable.]
Command files and sound files can be associated with
an event. The event can be written to a file and can be
printed. If a message is associated with the event, the
message appears in the Details window, opened from
the Alarm View window.
An Action Group can be edited from the Action
Group database to make global changes to all ADVs
associated with a particular Action Group.
If you wish to change an Action Group feature for a
single ADV, you must open the device from the
Device Map, rename the Action Group Template or
choose ".Custom" and then edit the new template.
Once an Action Group [except ".Custom"] has been
created, it can be used as a template for other
devices of the same type.
