Item Description
1 Scopes – Use to navigate between All and user-configured scopes.
2 Page Up/Down and Line Up/Down – Press to move vertically through indicators.
Depending on location or size of the list, movement arrows may not be shown. (Example:
top of list, page up arrows will not be shown.)
3 Indicators– Display individual indicator information including current state, name, and
group. The user can reset, activate/de-activate indicators, set indicators to hold until
manually reset and change alert level. All available indicators are configurable to one or
more of the Condition Monitoring System scopes. Indicator colors signify the status of the
indicator: green (normal), yellow (warning), red (alarm), or blue (information only).
Reset single indicator and time stamp
Reset all indicators and time stamps displayed
State The current state of the active indicator is represented by the color-coded status button.
Date/TimeDisplays date and time the indicator was triggered; date in Month/Day/Year format and
time in 24 hour format
Active User-selectable; indicator is active if marked, inactive if not marked
Hold User-selectable; if marked, indicator holds value until manually reset; if not marked,
indicator holds until the absence of condition that triggered the indicator or until manually
reset
Group Name of indicator’s hardware or software group. Note that “Master Controller” is shown
for SBC-related indicators, whether the SBC is located in a PGC5000A Master Controller or
in an Oven with Integrated Controller.
Name Name of the indicator
Level User-selectable level button: Red = Alarm, Yellow = Warning, Blue = Information Only.
The Status Tab gives access to configuration, evaluation, and monitoring of the PGC5000 Condition
Monitoring System. The Status Tab is used to collect additional information of the analyzer system’s
Condition Monitoring System. The analyzer system reports indicators through multiple means
including: visual, color-coded indicator status icons, analysis reporting, OPC servers, and other
communication media.
The All subtab is a complete listing of available indicators for that specific analyzer’s Condition
Monitoring System. The four remaining subtabs: Instrument, Stream, Analysis and Component are
user-configurable scopes.

4.3.1 User-configurable scopes
The analyzer scopes represent a collection of indicators directly related to the hardware or software
within the analyzer system (see Figure 4-10). Each scope allows assignment of configurable indicators
to optimize the Condition Monitoring System for each installation. Indicators are assigned reporting
levels depending on user need. All Indicators can be set to Alarm, Warning or Information Only levels.
Indicators set to a Warning or Information Only level do not invalidate data reported to the
subscribers.
Figure 4-10: Scope Indicators
Instrument: The only scope where indicators set to an Alarm level do not invalidate the
reported data.
• Master Controller Sub-scope: Any active, triggered, alarm-level indicator activates the
common malfunction relay contact closure for the Master Controller; it also sets the
Master Controller rollup out to the Modbus link. The “Master Controller” nomenclature is
used whether the SBC is located in a PGC5000A Master Controller or in an Oven with
Integrated Controller.
• Oven Sub-scope: Any active, triggered, alarm-level indicator activates the common
malfunction relay contact closure for the associated oven.
Stream: Any active, triggered, alarm-level indicator invalidates the analysis data reported to
all subscribers for that stream. (This may span multiple analyses.) It also sets the Is Valid
indicator.
Analysis: Any active, triggered, alarm-level indicator invalidates the analysis data reported to
all subscribers for the analysis. It also sets the Is Valid indicator.
Component: Any active, triggered, set alarm-level indicator invalidates the component data
reported to all subscribers for the component to which it is assigned. It also sets the Is Valid
indicator.
4.3.2 Configure indicators
Figure 4-10 shows each scope with a color-coded indicator status icon. This icon represents the
highest-level triggered indicator configured and activated for the scope. Indicators may be assigned to
multiple scopes. Changes made to an indicator’s activation criteria take effect immediately.
To assign an indicator and level of an indication to a scope:
1. Locate the desired indicator in the All list.
2. Set the desired indicator level by selecting the appropriate indicator level (color) at the right of
the screen.
3. Press the Add button at the right of the indicator.
4. Choose the scope and sub-scope categories.
5. Press the Next button to continue.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Instrument Scope will not invalidate data.
6. Verify choices and press the Add button to accept the changes or press the Abort button to
cancel the operation.
