Thresholds

BPM Express for Hardware dynamically sets the thresholds on all of its parameters depending on the platform it is running on. This is why a summary table of the alert thresholds of BPM Express for Hardware cannot be provided. It takes the manufacturer-set thresholds for each component and sets alert rules accordingly.

As you have seen in the previous section, it is Status, the text parameter that displays alert conditions. BPM Express for Hardware assigns the pre-set thresholds to its symbolic conditions of exclamation marks.

For instance, when a manufacturer-set threshold reaches warning levels, BPM Express for Hardware translates it to “Warning!” with one exclamation mark, which triggers a Warning alert in the Portal; and for an alarm-level breach, the Status parameter is set to “Alarm!!” with two exclamation marks, which triggers an Alarm alert in the Portal. When a problem occurs, it is the Status parameter that reports “WARNING!” or “ALARM!!” followed by a full description of the encountered problem, the possible consequences and the recommended action. Nevertheless, it is possible to modify these pre-set thresholds via the Configure tab.

If you wish to modify pre-set thresholds of individual parameters, you must deactivate the thresholds for the Status parameter (which will otherwise continue to consider pre-set thresholds and trigger alerts accordingly), and instead, directly assign threshold values against individual parameters of the class. See the User Guide for details.
