Viewing Brain Configuration Warnings

From EMIT Controls

Overview

DCT Panels that are actively on telematics will send the Brain (annunciator) configuration file once a day. This has several uses, including retrieving backups and viewing setpoint changes. Additionally, the site will generate warnings when configuration values are potentially bad so that they can be reviewed. This page discusses how to find the warnings and what causes a warning.

Viewing Warnings

Normally the home page on Connect starts at Units - List. Select the "Overview" tab on the lower section of the Units page to go to the overview section instead.

This will go to some unit summary information. The lower left Issues box will show units with configuration warnings. Note that if an area filter is active in the dropdown at the top the page it will cause the list to be filtered to only show units in that area.

From the issues box, select a unit number with a warning to jump to that unit's dashboard. Then, select the "Panel Configuration" tab along the top to see the units configuration warnings.

Warning Logic

The site uses built-in thresholds and rules to generate warnings. In some cases a unit warning may not be relevant to that unit, which is why the warning is meant to trigger a review. The current logic is:

  • Warn if a suction or discharge pressure input has a low kill of 0
  • Warn if a suction or discharge pressure input has a high kill equal to the high limit of the sensor (aka rolled out / would never hit the alarm)
  • Warn if oil pressure low kill is less than 20 psi
  • Warn if an oil pressure input is set to ‘no action’
  • Warn if a discharge temp kill is higher than 325
  • Warn if a catalyst temp kill is higher than 1300
  • Warn if a catalyst temp alarm is set to no action
  • Warn if a comp oil temp kill is higher than 206
  • Warn if a jacket water temp kill is higher than 225
