Standard Builder Function (LHS5100, LHM5100) includes CAMS for HIS builders. On CAMS
for HIS builders, the settings of Consolidated Alarm Management can be defined and down-
loaded to the databases of HISs in the system. When the project is connected with other proj-
ects using the Multiple Project Connection package, the equalization of A&E messages can
be performed between HISs across projects.
Within the equalization scope, there is one HIS is used as the Download Master of the Config-
urator of CAMS for HIS. On the Download Master HIS, the Message Monitor of CAMS for HIS
within the equalization scope can be customized. Using the HIS Utility, the download master
HIS and the HIS to be included in the equalization scope can be specified.
SEE
ALSO For more information about equalization with other projects using the Multiple Project Connection package,
refer to:
A7., “CAMS for HIS and Multiple Project Connection” on page A7-1
IMPORTANT
It is assumed that the function to set all alarm setpoints (master) at once is used at a system
start-up, or when adding or modifying the control station (s). Do not set all alarm setpoints
(master) during plant operation.

A4.2.4 Shelving
This section explains the functions and operations of shelving.
n Overview of Shelving
Shelving means to temporarily move the low-priority messages from the A&E Messages pane
to the shelves. The following are three types of shelving:
• Continuous Shelving
• One-Shot Shelving
• Auto-Shelving
l Continuous Shelving
Individual messages displayed in the A&E Messages pane are the targets of Continuous
Shelving.
Applicable messages are shelved until the pre-determined timeout period elapses. If the
same message is received again before the timeout period elapses, it is also shelved. Fur-
thermore, if there are any related recovery messages, they are also shelved.
l One-Shot Shelving
Individual messages displayed in the A&E Messages pane are the targets of One-Shot Shelv-
ing.
Applicable messages are shelved until the pre-determined timeout period elapses.If the A&E
Messages pane is displayed in the tree view, messages in the hierarchy below the shelved
messages are also shelved.
l Auto-Shelving
Filters displayed in the Filters pane are the targets of Auto-Shelving.
Messages in the shelved filters are shelved until the pre-determined timeout period elapses. If
the same message is received again before the timeout period elapses, it is also shelved.
Furthermore, if there are any related recovery messages, they are also shelved.
Filters that use the batch ID as a filter condition cannot be applied for Auto-Shelving.
If shelving is attempted exceeding the maximum number of messages, an error dialog box is
displayed.
Message
Figure A4.2.4-1 Error Dialog Box when Shelving is Attempted Exceeding the Maximum Number of
Messages
If the error dialog box is displayed, click the close button at the upper-right corner to close it
and adjust the number of A&E messages being shelved, and then try to shelve messages
again.
n Shelving Operation
The Shelves pane has shelves for which Shelving conditions are defined. To start shelving,
drag and drop applicable messages and filters to a shelf. The figure below shows an opera-
tion example.

A4.2.5 Suppression
Suppression is a unique function of CAMS for HIS. This section explains the functions and
operations of Suppression.
n Overview of Suppression
The Suppression function is used to suppress low-priority messages. Suppressed messages
are not displayed in the Operation and Monitoring windows of HIS.
You can start or cancel Suppression whenever required while operating and monitoring the
plant. You can apply Suppression to each alarm group or station. You cannot apply Suppres-
sion to individual messages or to each plant hierarchy.
The display actions for Suppressed messages are as follows:
• Messages already displayed before starting Suppression
These messages remain on the display after Suppression is started; however, they will be
removed upon reception of their recovery messages.
• Messages generated while they are Suppressed
If their recovery messages have not yet been received when the Suppression is cancel-
led, these messages will be displayed.
If their recovery messages have been received while Suppressed, these messages will
not be displayed even after the Suppression is cancelled.
• Historical data of Suppressed messages
Because Suppressed messages are retained as historical data, you can use the Histori-
cal Viewer of CAMS for HIS to confirm the messages generated or recovered while they
were Suppressed.
SEE
ALSO For more information about alarm display actions when Suppression is applied to process alarm messages,
refer to:
“l Message Display Action when Suppression is Executed” on page A6-4
n Suppression Operation

n Alarm Action
Alarm actions can be determined, not for each function block, but for each project, using
CAMS for HIS. There are two types of alarm action.
TIP When multiple projects are connected, the alarm action should be standardized in all the connected projects.
• Consolidated
Irrelevant to the priority configured on the Alarm Priority builder, the alarm flashing action
and the flow from occurrence to deletion of an alarm are consolidated into the action con-
figured by CAMS for HIS. The flow from occurrence to deletion of an alarm is usually dis-
played in four different statuses by CAMS for HIS.
• CENTUM original
CENTUN process alarm messages act according to the priority defined on the Alarm Pri-
ority builder.
SEE
ALSO For more information about the four statuses from occurrence to deletion of an alarm, refer to:

If the multiple projects are connected, and if some of the connected projects use older soft-
ware than R4.03.00 and the CAMS for HIS is enabled, this option needs to be cleared. when
a new project is created, by default, this option is cleared.
n Downloading to an HIS
Download the project common section to apply the contents configured in the CAMS for HIS
tab of Project Property. HISs on which the download has been completed will operate based
on the new settings. They do not need to be rebooted.
TIP When downloading the project common section, some other settings may be downloaded together. Conse-
quently, the HIS needs to be restarted.

Figure B1.2.3-1 Display Example of the CAMS for HIS Alarm Group Builder
n Alarm List Settings Screen of the CAMS for HIS Alarm Builder
The CAMS for HIS Alarm builder can be categorized into two types based on the differences
of the Setting item display area.
• Alarm List Settings screen
A list of alarm sources is displayed. Engineering for the A&E messages like system alarm
messages and process alarm messages, or those generated from the elements with no
assignment of tag numbers now becomes possible.
• Alarm Details Settings screen
Alarm sources found in the search by tag name are displayed. This is useful for engineer-
ing by narrowing down the target, but the setting items are limited.
When the CAMS for HIS Alarm builder is started, the Alarm List Settings screen will be dis-
played. Thereafter, two types of screens can be switched to one another. Both cannot be dis-
played at the same time.
The following is a display example of the Alarm List Settings screen.

Figure B1.2.4-4 Display Example of Sheet Number and the Total Number of Sheets
If you switch to a different sheet or to another hierarchy in the tree view, the operation history
on the original sheet will be cleared. Accordingly, the [Undo] operation will no longer be avail-
able.
1000 Alarm/Sheet
The number of alarm sources set here is saved to the engineering PC for each user when the
CAMS for HIS Alarm builder is exited. The set value is inherited when the builder is started
the next time. Note, however, that the target projects are not taken into account. For example,
if the same user logs on to the same engineering PC and starts the CAMS for HIS Alarm
builder, the value is inherited even if the target project is different.
Furthermore, the alarm sources that belong to a unique tag name are always displayed on
one sheet. For example, if there are 14 alarm sources that belong to one tag name, all 14
alarm sources will be displayed on one sheet even when the number of alarm sources to be
displayed is set to 10.

Alarm type Fixed to [BlockProcessAlarm] in the case of CENTUM VP’s process BlockProcessAlarm
alarm messages.
If the alarm type is omitted, it is treated as “BlockProcessAlarm.”
Tag name Specify a tag name of a function block. PID
When multiple projects are involved, it is possible to specify tag names PID@P2
of other projects using the syntax of [tab name@project ID].
Alarm status Define an alarm status. Specify alarm status characters such as HI and HI
LO.
Alarm/recov- Specify whether alarm, recovery or re-alarm applies. SALM
ery/re-alarm • [SALM] in the case of alarm generation
• [SRCV] in the case of alarm recovery
• [SRALM] in the case of re-alarm
Number of Define the number of repetitions if alarms are generated repeatedly. 10
repetitions Any number in the range from 0 to 500 can be defined. If the number of
repetitions is omitted, it is treated as 1 (no repetition).
If 0 is defined, the corresponding A&E message is not generated at all.
Generation Define the intervals at which alarms are generated repeatedly. The unit 500
intervals is [ms]. The intervals can be defined in the range from 0 to 1800000
(30 minutes).(*1) If the generation interval is omitted, it is treated as
1000 (1 second).
*1: If a time interval shorter than 100 ms is specified, operations cannot be guaranteed to proceed exactly as defined in the sce-
nario. In this case, the actual generation intervals will vary depending on the CPU load.

The unit is [ms]. It can be specified in the range from 0 to 1800000 (30 minutes). (*1) If the
delay time is omitted, it is treated as 1000 (1 second).
*1: If a time interval shorter than 100 ms is specified, operations cannot be guaranteed to proceed exactly as defined in the sce-
nario. In this case, the actual generation intervals will vary depending on the CPU load.
For the number of loop executions, define how many times a loop is repeated. The valid
range is from 0 to 500. If the number of loop executions is omitted, it is treated as 1 (no repe-
titions).

3. Check either the [Suppress] or [Unsuppress] radio button and click the [OK] button.
4. Check the Suppression operations in the Message Monitor of CAMS for HIS (Function
Check mode).
n Reflecting Changes
This task is performed either in Configurator of CAMS for HIS or Alarm Generator.
This task reflects the changes/modifications made during simulating display and processing of
A&E messages in the Message Monitor of CAMS for HIS (Function Check mode) to the envi-
ronment where CAMS for HIS actually runs. Note that the method of reflecting changes to the
Message Monitor of CAMS for HIS (Normal mode) depends on how Alarm Generator is star-
ted.
TIP During function check, if the current HIS user logs out and another HIS user logs in, the changes performed
during function check cannot be committed due the inconsistent user.
In the following, it is explained how to reflect changes/modifications made during the Function
Check.

n AlarmPriority Setting
The following explains the relationship of AlarmPriority setting and operation display.
l Buzzer Sound
The buzzer sound at alarm occurrence is changed. The AlarmPriority setting as well as tone
number and type (continuous sound/notification sound) defined in the HIS Setup window
(Buzzer tab sheet) are applied to the buzzer sound, as follows.
• AlarmPriority is not set
The actions take place according to the setting in the HIS Setup window (Buzzer tab
sheet).
• AlarmPriority is set
The following actions take place according to the AlarmPriority setting.
• Critical: Follow the Critical-priority alarm setting in the HIS Setup window.
• High: Follow the High-priority alarm setting in the HIS Setup window.
• Medium: Follow the Medium-priority alarm setting in the HIS Setup window.
• Low: Follow the Low-priority alarm setting in the HIS Setup window.
• Logging/Reference: The buzzer does not rumble.
• AlarmPriority is changed while the buzzer is rumbling
The currently rumbling buzzer sound is not affected. The change will be reflected in
alarms that occur after the change.
l Printer Output
The printer output action at alarm occurrence is changed. The following actions are applied
according to the AlarmPriority setting and whether printer output is enabled or disabled as de-
fined in the Alarm Priority Builder.
• AlarmPriority is not set
The actions take place according to the setting in the Alarm Priority Builder.
• AlarmPriority is set
The following actions take place according to the AlarmPriority setting.
• Critical: Follow the High-priority alarm-PRT setting of the Alarm Priority Builder.
n Detection Setting
The Detection setting specifies whether to enable or disable the alarm message notification
action to the operator. If Detection = Disable, notification to the operator is suppressed. The
Detection = Disable setting is given priority over the alarm priority defined by Source Engi-
neering or AlarmPriority set by consolidated engineering.
The following explains the relationship of Detection setting and actions on HIS.
l Buzzer Sound
• When Detection = Enable
Buzzer sound corresponding to the alarm priority rumbles according to the alarm priority
defined by Source Engineering and AlarmPriority set by consolidated engineering.
l Printer Output
• When Detection = Enable
Printer output action corresponding to the alarm priority is performed according to the
alarm priority defined by Source Engineering and AlarmPriority set by consolidated engi-
neering.
• When Detection = Disable
Printer output is not performed while an alarm is present.
• When Detection is changed while alarms are present
The change will be reflected in alarms that occur after the change.

Even when AlarmPriority is set to Critical, High, Medium or Low, how CAMS for HIS operates
remains the same. The AlarmPriority setting on system alarms can be used for the following
purposes:
• Use the Message Monitor of CAMS for HIS to create a filter specifying AlarmPriority.
l Detection setting
Just like CENTUM process alarms, you can suppress alarm messages by setting Detection to
Disable.

l ENG
• The version of ENG must be upgraded to the latest.
• CAMS databases whose version is earlier than R4.02 must be converted to databases of
R4.02 or later using the Migration Tool.
• In environments where the system coexists with old versions, operate the system by ena-
bling “Generate R3/R4.01 compatible database” in the CAMS for HIS tab of the Proper-
ties dialog box of a project of the System View.
• If a user and/or user group was added or deleted in the Security Builder, save the infor-
mation in either one of the CAMS for HIS builders.
• If an alarm group was deleted and saved in the Alarm Group Builder and then an alarm
group of the same name was added, save the information in the CAMS for HIS Alarm
builder.
SEE
ALSO For more information about migration, refer to:
B3.1.1, “Migration Tool” on page B3-15
l Download Master
• Select a download master from HISs with the latest version. Specify only one download
master within the redundancy ring.
• The download master must be running when performing download in ENG.
• Engineering cannot be performed using the configurator of CAMS for HIS provided by re-
visions before R4.02. Since databases generated by configurators are not compatible
with ENG databases, engineering by the CAMS for HIS builders and engineering by con-
figurators cannot coexist within the same redundancy ring.
n Equalization of database
The figure below shows an example of equalization in a coexistence environment where both
HIS prior to R4.02 version and HIS of R4.02 or later versions are present.

For the system in a mixed environment, the database of CAMS for HIS can be equalized as
follows:
1. Perform the CAMS for HIS engineering works on the PC where system builders are in-
stalled.
2. Execute “Save” on the CAMS for HIS builder so as to generate the two types of databa-
ses for HISs prior to R4.02 version and for HISs of R4.02 or later versions.
3. Execute “Download” on CAMS for HIS builder or “Download Project Common Section” on
System View, the HIS will start to equalize the generated two types of databases, howev-
er, the database for CS 3000 R3 HIS cannot be equalized.
n Engineering Procedure
• A CAMS for HIS database prior to R4.02 version must be converted to an R4.02 or later
version database using the migration function of a CAMS for HIS Builder For migration,
• In a coexistence environment where HISs prior to R4.02 version are also present, open
the “Project Property” dialog in the System View and select the [Create R3/R4.01 Com-
patible Database] in the [CAMS for HIS] tab.
• Select a Download Master from among HISs of R4.02 or later versions.
• Specify only one Download Master in the equalization scope.
• The Download Master must be running when a download is performed by the ENG.
