Notifications - How do I (or is it possible) to send a notification at the beginning of an event frame, and a different message at the end of the event frame?

JohnTGE

We are using an event frame to monitor when the OPC interface go down (below a threshold data rate value). If this happens, we want to send out a notification that says "Interface DOWN". When the interface resumes operation (maybe the server got rebooted) and the interface resumes operation (i.e., above a threshold data rate value), and the end of event frame has been attained, we would like to send out a different message saying "Every thing is great now... no need to panic".

Obviously, I could create two (2) different event frames (one for when the interface goes down, and one for when it is functioning properly), but I would prefer to have a single event frame tracking the interface down (and return to normal) event, and have that single event frame trigger two DIFFERENT messages (one at the beginning and one at the end).

 

TIA.

    Can you use two dynamic endpoints and they both refer to the same contacts, but one is for the start and the other for the end of the event?

    Another option is to use an AF attribute that builds the message "Interface down" and "Everything is great". You can reference that AF attribute in the notification format. The trick is to use an AF Analysis or even an AF Enumeration to correctly display the message. Of course, this method requires additional configuration and can be somewhat messy.
