CHAPTER 1 – INTRODUCTION

PowerLogic® Active Pager Module

PowerLogic® Active Pager Module (APM) e-mails, text or pages plant, facility, or campus personnel on alarms and events captured by PowerLogic® monitoring system(s) or third party monitoring systems, notifying them of power or energy anomalies that may occur within their systems. For more information on PowerLogic® monitoring system, including monitors, meters, specialized data network equipment, and system monitoring / reporting software, refer to the web site…

http://www.PowerLogic.com PowerLogic® APM has an OPC alarm and event client that receives alarms and events from OPC alarm and event servers. Upon receipt, APM e-mails and pages alarms and events to designated recipients, such as plant engineers and facility administrators. PowerLogic® APM relies on OPC alarm and event servers to transmit alarms and events to the APM’s OPC alarm and event client. The SMS OPC Alarm and Event Server, included with this installation, transmits alarms and events from PowerLogic® System Manager Software (SMS), version 4.02 or greater, to APM’s OPC alarm and event client. PowerLogic® SER 7.x is likewise equipped with an OPC Alarm and Event server and can provide alarms to PowerLogic® APM.

Simply check the appropriate box for the appropriate service option or modify the appropriate text-edit box for a specific change in value. Click the “Save Settings” to save. Refer to tables on the next page for details on SMS OPC Server Options and APM Service Options. Table 3, SMS OPC Server Options Following four options are applicable only if SMS OPC AE server is configured to run with APM.

1 Include SMS System description in message

The name of the online SMS system is included in the message notification sent to the recipient.

2 Include device description in message.

The name of the device is included in the message notification sent to the recipient.

3 Include alarm description in message

The name of the alarm is included in the message notification sent to the recipient.

4 Include alarm value in message

The value of the alarm is included in the message notification sent to the recipient.

Following options are applicable in all scenarios:

5 Logger Memory cache duration (in Milliseconds)

The PowerLogic© OPC AE Historian (A component of APM, installed with the standard APM 6.0 setup) caches log entries in memory before writing to the database to optimize data throughput. Administrators can change this value if they want to fine-tune their system. In most cases, there would be no need to change the default value.

6 Logger OPC Server Health Check ( in Milliseconds)

The PowerLogic© OPC AE Historian periodically checks the health of all configured OPC servers. If a connection is lost, it attempts to reconnect to the server until it succeeds. This value indicates the frequency of that health check.

2 Check for Logged event ID

Ensures that the event is logged (with all custom and standard attributes) in the historical log before sending the message notification to the recipient.

3 Generate extra diagnostics

Log verbose information in the diagnostic log.

4 Check Schedules A way to bypass the schedules. If this is unchecked, message notifications will be sent to all subscribed recipients without checking their schedules.

5 Check Maintenance mode

A way to bypass maintenance mode check. This should be enabled if the maintenance mode feature is used.

6 APM Health check frequency ( in milliseconds)

The APM service periodically checks the health of all configured OPC servers. If a connection is lost, it attempts to reconnect to the server until it succeeds. This value indicates the frequency of that health check.

7 Delay between message transmission (in milliseconds)

Add a short delay between notifications sent to a recipient. This is useful if the recipient’s device or service/modem cannot handle too many requests in a short time.

Restart Services The “Preference Page” provides services controls to start, to stop, and to restart SMS OPC service of APM, and to start, to stop, and to restart APM Service Status. The following figure illustrates the control buttons.

APPENDIX A – ISSUES & TROUBLESHOOTING

If symptoms exists and do not match with the ones listed below or if the attempt to implement prescribed solution does not resolve the issue, then please contact Tech Support at 615-287-3400.

• After installing Active Pager Module (APM), the APM service and the OPCAELogger Service will not be started automatically. The user will have to go through the configuration of APM and, then, start the services manually from the preferences page. Alternatively, the user can restart the machine after configuring APM to start the services.

• If a new Windows user profile is created after installing APM, then logging into the machine as the new user will cause the APM install to restart. To workaround this issue, create additional local Windows user profiles before installing APM.

• The user might see the statement, "The page cannot be displayed”, when accessing the APM website. This is caused when another install overwrites the IIS setting of “HTTP Keep-Alives Enabled” and sets it to false. For APM to properly function, this must be set to true. This is required for integrated Windows authentication which the APM website uses. The illustration, below, shows the proper setting to resolve this issue.

Figure 45, Default Web Site Properties

• After navigating to the Subscriptions page, occasionally, the user will be taken to a blank screen. This is a known issue in a third party control. To workaround this problem, click on the Edit link again, located under “Subscription”, in the Setup controls on the left side of the Setup web page. The figure, below, illustrates the link.

Figure 46, Subscription Link

• SMS device events do not show up in filtering: This is a known issue with SMS. The work around to this is to…

o Open SMS Setup->Setup->Devices/Routing o Click on the device planned for use in APM o Click the configure button o Repeat the last two previous steps for each device planned for use in APM o When completed, restart the APM services.

• If installing with SER 7.1, prior to installing APM 6.0, the user must install the latest service update, minimum version SER Service Update 2.1. If the user has a previously installed update for SER 7.1, the SER Service Update 2.1 will not install until the previous update is uninstalled using the Control Panel, Add Remove programs. Once the previous update has been removed, the SER 2.1 update should install normally.

• When installed with SER 7.1, the error “Permission Denied” may appear when moving events. Simply ignore this error as it does not cause any problems.

• Any value entered for an attribute in the Relay Templates and Relay Recipients grids must not exceed a 500 character limit – this includes spaces.

• In order to show up in all of the drop-down boxes in the APM web site, the filter name must not exceed 40 characters – this include spaces. During migration, 5 characters are appended to the name of the filter being migrated from APM 5.n. This means that if the filter name in APM 5.n is longer than 35 characters, then the whole filter name may not show up in the drop-down boxes in APM 6.0.

• The minimum recommended screen size for APM is 1024 by 768. If the user interface looks skewed, please try changing the screen size. Otherwise, try to maximize the browser window and refresh the page.

• If changes made in configuration are not reflected in the actual functionality, then make sure to restart the ActivePagerModule and PLOpcAELogger services either from the System -> Preferences page, or from the Windows Service Controller.

Troubleshooting

Symptom An “access denied” error is reported in the event log when the client attempts to establish an IOPCShutdown or IOPCDataCallback connection point callback. Problem The .NET framework uses the default DCOM security settings for the machine, since the client application does not call CoInitializeSecurity(). Resolution It is not possible to call CoInitializeSecurity() in a .NET client application. However, DCOM security can be configured in the registry for each client application, by creating the following registry values… HKCR\AppID\APMService.exe\AppID = {426AF718-0B46-423B-8DC8-

833E7A944F11} HKCR\AppID\{426AF718-0B46-423B-8DC8-

833E7A944F11}\AuthenticationLevel = 1

…, where the GUID should be unique for each OPC client application, and the “APMService.exe” key should be replaced with the name of the client application. To automatically create these keys, browse to the CD content’s “Utility” folder and import the APM_DCOM.reg file to the registry, by double-clicking it.
