BITEX Setup

By default, BITEX is configured to display all of the available status parameters.

You must identify those parameters that signal a Critical Fault. To do this, you must enter as bitex-setup with operator privilege. The sub menu for configuring each field has a critical flag (right-click on the field number).

Figure 1. BITEX - Status Field Configuration Menu

In the example shown in the figure, the fields for Pedestal Interlock is set as critical fault. When IRIS receives a critical fault message from BITEX, IRIS site status is set to fault. This message is passed back to RCP and, by network transfer of the status product, to the other IRIS system.
