Creating a Command Procedure for Alarm Counter. ABB MicroSCADA 54 Pages
MicroSCADA is a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) software developed by ABB. It is used for real-time monitoring and control of power networks. MicroSCADA can be used to supervise and control various electrical applications, such as substations, power grids, and distribution networks. This thesis explores the use of predictive maintenance for MicroSCADA applications.

7.3.1 Creating a Command Procedure for Alarm Counter
First the command procedure “STA_ALARM” in MicroSCADA’s Object
Navigator has to be created. With command procedures it is possible to make actions or run a piece of program every time a defined event is happening. The code in SCIL programming language can be placed in the Instruction field of
Procedure tab. The code is presented in Appendix 3.
This piece of code adds 1 to variable “count” every time a process object is alarming. Then the value in “count” is moved to “FI” process point of the object.
“FI” stands for “Free Integer” and it can be used for own purposes, because it is not used to store any other values. After entering the code it is important to check
“In Use (IU)” check box from the Command Procedure window.
“STA_ALARM” command procedure should now look like in Figure 11.
