Alarms

WARNING
EQUIPMENT INCOMPATIBILITY OR INOPERABLE EQUIPMENT Do not rely solely on alarms for the maintenance of your equipment. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

Displaying Alarms (All Models)

This function is available on Panel Server Entry, Universal, and Advanced.

Active alarms issued by connected devices are displayed on the Panel Server webpages at Monitoring and Control, on the Data page of each device. An active alarm disappears when conditions of the alarm are no longer met.

NOTE: For devices associated with custom device models, active alarms are not displayed by default and alarms need to be selected manually. Check if your device is associated with a custom device model.

Alarms are defined by severity:

High severity
Medium severity
Low severity

For information about identifying alarm severity, refer to Alarm Icons.

Publishing Alarms

Active alarms can be published by the following methods, depending on the data publication method selected:

Schneider Electric cloud (all models): When the Panel Server is connected to the Schneider Electric cloud ,alarms are published to the cloud application. The selection of alarms is managed at the cloud level, and is available for display only at Settings > Data management > Alarms.
By email (Advanced model): When the Email service for alarms is activated, email notifications for selected alarms are sent to the recipient list.
On the Panel Server webpages at Notifications (Advanced model): Appearance and disappearance of selected alarms are displayed on the Notifications webpage

Selecting Alarms for Publication (Advanced Model)

For each device connected to the Panel Server Advanced, you can enable and/or disable the publication of alarms issued in the case of electrical events or communication loss. By default, publication of alarms is disabled.

A maximum of 100 alarms can be enabled concurrently.

Alarms to be published when they become active can be enabled individually for each device as follows.

Click the device name on the Panel Server webpages, at Settings > Data management.
Click Alarms.
Enable/disable an alarm with the Enable alarm checkbox.

NOTE: Enabling or disabling alarms in Settings > Data management has no impact on the alarm bits in Modbus register.

NOTE:

Concerning IO module generic function, alarm activation is enabled when the input status is 1.
When Acti9 iATL24, OFSD or iACT24 auxiliaries are connected under an I/O Smart Link device and commissioned in the Panel Server, if the cable is disconnected from the I/O Smart Link device, a Circuit breaker opened alarm is triggered into the Panel Server instead of the Communication Loss alarm.

ERMS Alarm

For MasterPacT NT/NW circuit breakers, the ERMS (Energy Reduction Maintenance Setting) feature is limited. ERMS alarm is compatible from Panel Server only when ERMS application is configured on IO module 1. When the application switch of IO module 1 is set to position 3, you may receive a notification of ERMS activation due to electrical noise on the IO module. It does not necessarily indicate that the ERMS mode is activated. Schneider Electric recommends always confirming by checking the present alarm status from the Panel Server webpages and ERMS status indicator on the MasterPacT NT/NW circuit breaker. For more information, refer to NHA67346 Energy Reduction Maintenance Setting (ERMS) System Installation and User Guide.
