4.9 Environmental sensors Main screen -> Environmental sensors The environmental sensors are displayed as a hierarchy of three levels: Overview of all probes and device types Overview of a particular probe or device type Display of an individual probe or device All three views are described in detail in the sections that follow. 4.9.1 Overview of all probes and device types Main screen -> Environmental sensors button Pressing the Environmental sensors button calls up an overview of the selectable probe and device types. Figure 30: Environmental sensors, overview of probe/device types The colour mapping is: Green: No alarm present. Red: An alarm is present for one of the devices. Grey: No probe/device was configured yet. VISY-SoftView Page 40/48
When selecting a probe or device type all associated devices of the selected group are shown in a new window (see chapter Probes and devices of one type, Page 43). Designations For programming reasons, the designations of some environmental probes and devices have been abbreviated and may refer to one or more probes or devices. An overview is presented in the table below. Device (application) Designation, long Description Interstitial VISY-Stick/Reed Interstitial Object of measurement: Double-walled tanks Manhole sump Dispenser Sump VISY-Stick/Reed Sump Manhole VISY-Stick/Reed Sump Dispenser Object of measurement: Manhole sump Object of measurement: Dispenser Sump Oil separator Oil separator Oil separator sensors are connected to the VISY-Command with the VISY- Input 8 device.

Four examples are described here for the device type buttons: Button Function Description Probe type: Interstitial Device Type: Leak Detection manhole Probe type: Manhole sump (=Manhole sump) Device Type: VISY Output Alarms Button labelled with probe type. Background colour = green, i.e. (in the example) - Quantity of probes more than zero - No alarm reported Button labelled with device type. Background colour = green, i.e. (in the example) - Quantity of devices more than zero - No alarm reported Button labelled with probe type. Background colour = red, i.e. (in the example) - Quantity of probes more than zero - Alarm reported (by at least one probe) Button labelled with device type. Background colour = grey, i.e. (in the example). - No configured devices, i.e. no configured device of type VISY Output. Opens the alarm menu for the environmental sensors. Print Prints an overview. Close Closes the current window. The screen is continuously updated and reflects the current status of the probe/device types displayed. In the event of an alarm, it is possible to find and select the reporting device quickly as follows: The device type label is displayed with a red background. Pressing the red device type displays all individual devices (16) of the type selected (see example in the section below). The individual device that is reporting the alarm is displayed with a red background. Selecting the red device (i.e. pressing the button) then displays all available details for this device. VISY-SoftView Page 42/48
4.9.2 Probes and devices of one type Main screen -> Environmental Sensors -> single probe / device type By selection of a specific device type (in this example: "Interstitial") the entire devices of the selected type are displayed, here all of the 16 possible interstitial probes. The probes or devices are displayed as fields within the main screen. The function keys of the main screen are, therefore, still available, with the print and alarm functions relating to the probes or devices on display. Figure 31: Main screen showing probes/devices of the type selected For each individual probe or device, in this overview the following up-to-date information is displayed: Device/probe designation (here: "Interstitial") Number (1 to 16, quantity sometimes device-dependent) Configuration (Yes/No) Background colour: see below. Alarm condition (possible values: "OK", "alarm" or "-" The colour mapping is: Green: No alarm present. Red: An alarm is present for one of the devices. Grey: It was not yet configured a probe/device, status is displayed as "-". Further information may be available, depending on the device type: Page 43/48 VISY-SoftView
Pressing the button for an individual device opens a window showing further details for the device selected, e. g. active alarms (in plain text) and, where applicable, measured values (see next section). Three examples are described here for individual device buttons: Button Function Description Opens the details window of probe Interstitial no. 1 Opens the details window of probe Interstitial no. 4 Opens the details window of probe Interstitial no. 6 System functions Display of button labelled with probe type. Background colour = green, i.e. (in the example) Probe configured No alarm reported Display of button labelled with device type. Background colour = red, i.e. (in the example) Probe configured Alarm reported (at least one alarm) Display of button labelled with probe type. Background colour = grey, i.e. (in the example). Probe is not configured (not present), hence alarm status -. As on main screen, see next section: System functions. Alarms Opens the alarm menu, by default environmental sensor alarms. Environmental sensors Tanks As on main screen, see chapter Environmental sensors, returns to selection/overview of environmental probes / device types. As on main screen, see Tanks section, switches to tank information screen. Print Home Prints out an overview of all configured devices for the type displayed here (in this example: for the Interstitial probes). As on main screen, see Home button section. The screen is continuously updated and reflects the current status of the probes/devices displayed. VISY-SoftView Page 44/48
4.9.3 Individual probe or individual device Main screen -> Environmental sensors -> Probe/device type -> individual probe/device Pressing the button for a particular probe or device opens the details window for this probe or device. In the example below, the button for probe Interstitial 4 has been pressed. Figure 32: Details window for Interstitial 4 probe with alarm status The details window shows the available information for the device selected. The window is continuously updated. The following details are displayed: Probe/device designation (here: "Interstitial") Probe/device number (here: "4") Configuration status (colour code: see previous section) Alarm status (here: "Alarm") Alarm box (in this case two alarms: "Probe, installation error" and "Product alarm") Measured values (here: "Filling level: 304.0 mm") The alarm field indicates whether alarms are currently active: if no alarm is present (status = OK), the field is blank. Measurement values: displayed only if the probe or device supplies additional measured values. Not all environmental devices supply measured values. Page 45/48 VISY-SoftView
