The block's alarm conditions are summarized in the runtime bitstring parameter CEM_ALERTS. The alarm condition Forced is True when any effect is being forced, that is, any FORCE_EFFECTn parameter is Force Trip or Force Normal. Forced indicates that the normal operation of the block is being overridden. Although the block can be overridden using CAUSE_MASK, any manipulation from within the module would be expected behavior, and thus does not contribute to the alarm condition.
A Forced effect in one or more LSCEM blocks propagates to the SIF_ALERTS alert A CEM block Effect is being forced.
The CEM_ALERTS alarm condition Trip is True when one or more effects has a non-zero FIRST_OUTn parameter which indicates EFFECTn is not Normal. The Trip value propagates to the SIF_ALERTS alert A CEM block has a non-zero FIRST_OUT. You can choose to not provide alarms for trip command conditions if you prefer to trip alarms based on trip demand conditions detected in Voter blocks.
Bits in CEM_ALERTS do not propagate when the REPORT_OPTS option Alarm conditions do roll up to module level is selected.
