When you use multilayer interactive maps in Axxon PSIM, you can set rules for moving to the layers containing objects that generate an alarm.

Ways of how you can search the layer from whose object an alarm signal occurs:

  1. Open the interactive map window above all other active windows if the Alarm event occurs, corresponding to the characters located on the layer, by displaying the corresponding layer and characters.
  2. The layer with a registered Alarm event displays automatically.
  3. Recursive search for the layer from whose objects the alarm signal occurs.

Displaying the Map over all windows

To display the map window over all interface windows, set the Over all windows when alarm checkbox (1) and click Apply in the settings panel of the Map object. After you set the checkbox, the map window is displayed over all active windows if the Alarm event occurs on the objects located on the graphic map.

Info
titleNote

If the map has multiple layers, this setting will only work for the active layer.

Example 1: layer 1 is active, alarm occurs on layer 2. Map isn't displayed over all windows.

Example 2: layer 2 is active, alarm occurs on layer 2. Map is displayed over all windows.

If you want to display a map over all windows regardless of the active layer, enable Autoswitch (described below). For more details, see point 8 on the page The settings panel of the Map object.

Autoswitch to the alarm layer 

To automatically switch to the layer with the Alarm source object, set the Autoswitch checkbox (2) and click the Apply button. As a result, the layer with an alarm object will be activated when the Alarm event occurs.

Recursive search for the alarm layer

When you use multilayer maps, you must specify sequential links to other layers to be able to move from the active layer to any other layer of the map. If the above condition is met, you can use recursive links when the Alarm event occurs on one of the layers. To enable recursive search of the layer with the registered Alarm event, set

The rules for transition to the layers with alarmed devices can be set up for multilevel maps.

The following ways of displaying the layer with an alarmed device exist in the system:

  1. When an alarm occurs, the Map window opens above all other active windows showing the layer containing the alarmed device.
  2. The link symbols recursively lead to the layer containing the alarmed device.

To open the Map window above all other windows, set the Over all windows when alarm checkbox (3) in the settings panel of the Map object. The Map window will now open on top of other windows in case of alarm registration.

To make it possible to move from the current layer to any other layer, the links should be established in the multilevel maps. If the links recursively connect all layers of the map, they can be used for recursive transition to the alarmed layer.  To enable this option, check the Search alarmed links recursively checkbox (1) in 3) and click Apply in the settings panel of the Map interface object. If there are many layers, you can limit the Search depth for links across layers by specifying the required value in the field (4):

  • empty field—search across layers is unlimited;
  • 0—no search by related layers, that is, in case of alarm, only the alarm layer will blink;
  • >0—indicates the number of layers through which the search is performed. For example, the map has six interconnected layers and the alarm occurs on the third layer. If the key value=1, the alarm will blink on the third layer, as well as on the second and the fourth layers.

The recursive search of objects on the map is a type of search where you can switch to the layer with an alarm from the layer where the indicator is located by moving sequentially to adjacent layers with the help of sequential linksWhen the recursive search is on, the blinking links on each layer eventually lead the operator to the alarmed layer. If the Search for the shortest path checkbox checkbox is checked set (25), the shortest the shortest possible path to the alarmed layer with an alarm will be chosenautomatically selected.
