Panic-The Alba Alarm System

# 8 years ago
sergi_rubio	Well … I tried that method with an Alarm attribute and I got "RED" for few seconds; until the value is updated and then the color went back to light-green. Maybe is a bug in my current sources, but the bug disappears if I use TaurusBoolLed instead of the default led class. Keep on dancing, http://www.tango-controls.org/resources/howto/how-fandango/

SGara_Nexeya	We are using this method on Windows 7 since Taurus 3.30 I think, we had no problem so far.

TCS_GMRT	Hi Sergi I used Taurus LED. Its Working fine Thanks for the solution. Thanks and Regards TCS-GMRT Team Regards, TCS_GMRT

sergi_rubio	New releases of PyAlarm 5.3 and PANIC 5.4 have been uploaded to sourceforge. They contain all the bugfixes that were previously available only in the .tgz attached to this post. As highlights: many bugs have been solved in the Acknowledge/Disable/Delete/Preview actions of the GUI, in addition the new API.evaluate() method allows the GUI to test new formulas on the PyAlarm device before saving. They are meant to work together, so you must update both and also Fandango. For detailed log of changes see: https://svn.code.sf.net/p/tango-ds/code/Clients/python/Panic/trunk/README.txt https://svn.code.sf.net/p/tango-ds/code/DeviceClasses/SoftwareSystem/PyAlarm/trunk/README https://svn.code.sf.net/p/tango-cs/code/share/fandango/trunk/fandango/CHANGES Keep on dancing, http://www.tango-controls.org/resources/howto/how-fandango/ Edited 8 years ago

Ambar	Hi, I am trying to use the panic API for a Tango server but keep running into issues. I have a tango server with the address - 'C3/aouda/1' and I want to add an alarm for this. I then added a PyAlarm device called 'test/alarms/1' in the following manner `from fandango.tango import add_new_device,put_device_property add_new_device('PyAlarm/1','PyAlarm','test/alarms/1')` After this I used panic to connect these and add an alarm: `import panic alarms = panic.api() alarms.add('TEST_ALARM',formula='(C3/aouda/1/air_flow > 40)',device='test/alarms/1',description='test',receivers='my@mail')` Now when I try to check the severity of the 'TEST_ALARM' I am always getting it as warning(even when the attribute values are not crossing 40). When I try to check if alarm is active or not I am getting the following results: `In [53]: import panic In [54]: alarms = panic.api() In [55]: test_alarm = alarms['TEST_ALARM'] In [56]: test_alarm.active Out[56]: 0 In [57]: alarms.get_states() Out[57]: {'TEST_ALARM': False}` For some reason it seems like the alarm is not functioning. Both the device servers are running (Both 'test/alarms/1' and 'C3/aouda/1'). Please help.

Hi, I am trying to use the panic API for a Tango server but keep running into issues.

I have a tango server with the address - 'C3/aouda/1' and I want to add an alarm for this. I then added a PyAlarm device called 'test/alarms/1' in the following manner


from fandango.tango import add_new_device,put_device_property
add_new_device('PyAlarm/1','PyAlarm','test/alarms/1')

After this I used panic to connect these and add an alarm:


import panic
alarms = panic.api()
alarms.add('TEST_ALARM',formula='(C3/aouda/1/air_flow > 40)',device='test/alarms/1',description='test',receivers='my@mail')

Now when I try to check the severity of the 'TEST_ALARM' I am always getting it as warning(even when the attribute values are not crossing 40). When I try to check if alarm is active or not I am getting the following results:


In [53]: import panic

In [54]: alarms = panic.api()

In [55]: test_alarm = alarms['TEST_ALARM']

In [56]: test_alarm.active
Out[56]: 0

In [57]: alarms.get_states()
Out[57]: {'TEST_ALARM': False}

For some reason it seems like the alarm is not functioning. Both the device servers are running (Both 'test/alarms/1' and 'C3/aouda/1'). Please help.

TCS_GMRT	Hi Sergi My device name is : l/m/n Attributes are : Speed1, Speed2, Speed3 ………,Speed99 While defining rule, I am defining as l/m/n/Speed1.quality==ATTR_ALARM or l/m/n/Speed2.quality == ATTR_ALARM or l/m/n/Speed3.quality=ATTR_ALARM I have to define the above rule for 99 parameters. I have to manually write these values to define rule. 1.)Is there any way to write the rule by reading attribute name and device name from custom database ? It means that in defining above rule, I don't have to manually write rule for all parameters. It will read the device and attribute name from database and write the rule accordingly. 2.)The rule must also be configurable, Suppose if Speed1 becomes Speed111, then rule will also be l/m/n/Speed111.quality==ATTR _ALARM Thanks and Regards TCS-GMRT Team Regards, TCS_GMRT

Hi Sergi

My device name is : l/m/n
Attributes are : Speed1, Speed2, Speed3 ………,Speed99

While defining rule, I am defining as

l/m/n/Speed1.quality==ATTR_ALARM or l/m/n/Speed2.quality == ATTR_ALARM or l/m/n/Speed3.quality=ATTR_ALARM

I have to define the above rule for 99 parameters.
I have to manually write these values to define rule.

1.)Is there any way to write the rule by reading attribute name and device name from custom database ? It means that in defining above rule, I don't have to manually write rule for all parameters. It will read the device and attribute name from database and write the rule accordingly.
2.)The rule must also be configurable, Suppose if Speed1 becomes Speed111, then rule will also be l/m/n/Speed111.quality==ATTR
_ALARM

Andy	Hi all, I have a problem with an alarm formula that does not work as I would like it to. The formula is `elin/master/op != ON` which evaluates to True even when the linac is ON.

TCS_GMRT	Hello All I have one query regarding defining of rule using max function: I am not getting the syntax for it. I have three devices: 1. a/a/a 2. b/b/b 3. c/c/c I have Speed attribute in all the devices I have to define rule in which I have to write as: max(a/a/a/Speed or b/b/b/Speed or c/c/c/Speed)==10 Following error come while defining rule: TypeError: 'tangoed_float' object is not iterable Could you please tell the correct syntax for above requirement ? Thanks and Regards TCS-GMRT Team Regards, TCS_GMRT

Hello All

I have one query regarding defining of rule using max function:
I am not getting the syntax for it.

I have three devices: 1. a/a/a
2. b/b/b
3. c/c/c

I have Speed attribute in all the devices

I have to define rule in which I have to write as:

max(a/a/a/Speed or b/b/b/Speed or c/c/c/Speed)==10

Following error come while defining rule:
TypeError: 'tangoed_float' object is not iterable

Could you please tell the correct syntax for above requirement ?

Thanks and Regards

sergi_rubio	Hi Balkrishna, You must pass the arguments to max() as a list or tuple: max([a/a/a/Speed,b/b/b/Speed,c/c/c/Speed]) == 1 Sergi Keep on dancing, http://www.tango-controls.org/resources/howto/how-fandango/
