Attention!

Before creating the Monitoring object, create and configure the Server Of Control object (see Creating necessary Server Of Control objects).

 To configure the Monitoring interface object:

  1. In the object tree, select the Monitoring object. On the right side of the System settings dialog box, the settings panel of the relevant object is displayed.
  2. Set the checkboxes next to the alarm groups that should be visualized (1). The Extra 1 and Extra 2 groups of alarms can be renamed (2).

  3. If it is necessary to display the Owners panel component on the screen, set the Owners panel checkbox and specify the component position coordinates on the monitor screen. Also, from the Monitor drop-down list, select the number of the physical monitor, which coordinates should be specified (3). You can also set the scaling of objects from 100% to 500%.

    Note

    If the scaling parameter exceeds 110%, then the high resolution icons will be displayed on the object, and the Courier New font will be used for the text in the object title, otherwise—MS Sans Serif.

  4. If it is necessary to display the Control panel component on the screen, set the Control panel checkbox and specify the component position coordinates on the monitor screen. Also, from the Monitor drop-down list, select the number of the physical monitor, which coordinates should be specified (4). You can also set the scaling of objects from 100% to 500%.

    Note

    If the scaling parameter exceeds 110%, then the high resolution icons will be displayed on the object, and the Courier New font will be used for the text in the object title, otherwise—MS Sans Serif.

  5. If it is necessary to display the Log panel component on the screen, set the Log panel checkbox and specify the component position coordinates on the monitor screen. Also, from the Monitor drop-down list, select the number of the physical monitor, which coordinates should be specified (5).
  6. Set the Non-empty Comment field checkbox, if it is necessary for the operator to comment on this alarm and/or their actions, when accepting the alarm (6). This comment can be viewed later in the event log, as well as the name of the operator who received the alarm.
  7. By default, objects can be filtered by Alarm and Failure events as well as by Connected and Disconnected states. Clear the Use filter by events checkbox to disable this feature (7). As a result, the corresponding drop-down list becomes disabled.
  8. When you try to view live video and want to display a warning that it can create the critical load on the channel, set the Warning when watching live video checkbox (8).

  9. If Agents Of Control and Additional workplaces are in different subnets and the Monitoring PSIM components are not in a distributed system configuration in Axxon PSIM object tree and Data gateway is in use for transmission of live video to Additional workplaces, set the Viewing live video through gateway checkbox (9).

    Note

    For the details about the Data gateway, see Creating and configuring Data Gateway.

  10. To add the All cameras of Partition Of Control item to the object's Video image playback context menu which enables viewing video from all cameras of the selected Partition Of Control, set the Viewing live video from all cameras (add.) checkbox (10).

  11. In the Video stream speed field, enter the number of frames per second of the video image when viewing live or archive video (11). This parameter is used to limit the data flow between the Server Of Control and the Agent Of Control (for example, in case the communication channel has low bandwidth).

    Note

    • If the archive is recorded with the H.264 codec and the video stream speed is set to more than 0 frames per second, then the archive video will be played back only by reference frames.
    • If the value of the video stream speed is 0, then the live and archive video will be played back without scaling.
  12. Select the required compression rate for the live video from the Compression drop-down list (12).

  13. If it is necessary to set the cameras for which the user should be prohibited from viewing live video, do the following:

    1. Click the Cameras button (13).

    2. The settings window will open:

    3. In the User drop-down list (1), select the user to whom the prohibition should be applied.

    4. The List of cameras prohibited for viewing field (2) displays the cameras prohibited from viewing for the selected user. To add a camera to the list, select the required object from the Object drop-down list (3) and click the button.

      Note

      The Object list contains only those objects that have cameras.

    5. A window with a list of cameras of this object will open:

    6. In the left part of the window, select the cameras that should be prohibited from viewing, and move them to the right part of the window using the button. Then click the Apply changes and close button.

      Note

      To cancel the prohibition, select the camera in the right part of the window and click the  button.

    7. Click the OK button (4).

      Note

      • If a filter by owner is used for the Monitoring interface object, then its value is taken into account when configuring prohibited cameras.
      • If the user selects a camera that is not prohibited from viewing live video in the Monitoring interface, they can enter the camera's function menu and select a camera prohibited from viewing using the Camera menu item. To prevent this from happening, it is necessary to hide the Camera menu item using the MENU_CAMS_DISABLE_OPTION registry key (see Registry keys reference guide).
      • When adding a camera to the list of prohibited from viewing, the camera is not automatically removed from the previously created screens to which this camera was added.

  14. If specific owners are to be available for specific users on the Owners panel, then set the filter by owners:

    1. Click the Filter button (15).

    2. The Filter by owners window appears. The list of available user-owner pairs is on the left, the list of selected ones is on the right.

      Note

      The list of owners is set on the Control panel—see Regulatory and reference information.

      Users and their rights are configured in the Users tab of the System settings dialog box—for details, see Limiting access to the system objects administration, control and viewing functions.

    3. Move the pairs between the lists using the and buttons.
    4. When the list of user-owner pairs is formed, click the Apply changes and close button.
  15. Selected pairs of users and owners are displayed in the table (14).
  16. Click the Apply button (16).

Configuration of the Monitoring interface object is now complete.

When a screen for which the Monitoring object has been created is selected in Axxon PSIM, the Monitoring interface window is displayed.
