SYCOMSTFP

Specifies the interval (in minutes) allowed before a communication state changes from 2 – Exception to 3 – Critical. The interval starts at the most recent failed message and extends to the previous successful message or UIS start (if no successful message exists since UIS start). When configuring a point to use with this UDC, ensure that the service used is the applicable UIS and that the facility ID is that of the applicable UIS. A UIS facility is defined using the format Site_Service.

The interval is not tied to current time. For example, imagine you set SYCOMSTFP to 20. A successful message occurs at 3:00:00AM and the comm state becomes Normal. Then no other message occurs until 3:10:00AM, when a failed message occurs and the comm state becomes Exception. At 3:45:00AM a second failed message occurs, which changes the comm state from Exception to Critical. That is because the Exception state was reached and more than 20 minutes passed since the last successful message. The change does not occur at 3:20:00AM or 3:40:00AM.

You can apply the value to a remote device, communication device, and/or an entire UIS. If you apply this value to a remote device, the value applies to all of the remote device’s facilities. If you apply this value at the UIS level, it applies to all remote devices and communication devices in that UIS. The default value at the UIS level is 480.

To change the interval for the UIS, create a point for which the facility is the applicable UIS and the UDC is SYCOMSTFP.

To change the interval for a device, create a point for which the facility is the applicable device and the UDC is SYCOMSTFP.

An edit to this setting does not take effect until a UIS start occurs.

See Failed Comm Transition Period for information about when 2 – Exception changes to 3 – Critical.

Last Active Device

SYCSRDVL

The name of the last active device. When configuring a point to use with this UDC, ensure that the service used is the applicable UIS and that the facility ID is that of the applicable communication device, remote device, or facility linked to a remote device.

Not Ready Events

SYCSSTNR *

The current value of the consecutive Not Ready event counter. When configuring a point to use with this UDC, ensure that the service used is the applicable UIS and that the facility ID is that of the applicable communication device, remote device, or facility linked to a remote device.
