Common Alarm Service (CAS)

The Common Alarm Service (CAS) provides centralized alarm processing for current value services (CVSs). When a CVS receives a value for a point that meets or exceeds an alarm setpoint, the CVS reports the alarm to the CAS.

Alarm setpoints and alarm reporting are configured on a per-point basis in the point configuration record in the PNT. CygNet Explorer, CygNet Studio and CygNet Vision can be used to view alarms. The ELSALM stores alarm history.
