5.3 Visualization of the system status
The System status button (paragraph 3.3 - [A], accessible at level 1) accesses a section which allows you to view the
status of the various system elements.
The Control panel access button allows you to select one of the Previdia control panels configured in the network to
which the control panel you are accessing belongs. Once the control panel has been selected, the system status screen
and the access buttons [A] will make reference to the selected control panel, indicated by the string below [C]. If the
selected control panel is different from the one in use, the information provided by the alarm counter [B] and by the
Revision button [D] will no longer be available.
A superior access level (2 or 3) allows the user to work on the elements being viewed and carry out operations such as
enable, disable, activation or test. Access to these functions is reserved to persons with supervisor level access who have
been instructed in system management and who have knowledge of the system parts.
The buttons for viewing purposes [A] give access to the following sections:
