A SMART System can be configured to send OPC UA events in response to possible error states, such as a detected reboot, lack of disk space, or microphone failure.

About this task

OPC UA can send events on the SmartController node in response to the conditions listed below:

  • The SMART Controller has rebooted.
  • The available space on the SMART Controller's internal drive has fallen below a specified threshold.
  • A SMART MIC-1 microphone's status registers as "missing."
  • A microphone's measured sensitivity falls below a specified threshold, in dBFS.

Procedure

  1. Connect to the SMART Control Panel and go to Maintenance.
  2. Under Email Alerts, select which of the available statuses should trigger an OPC UA event, and edit the corresponding thresholds for available disk space and microphone calibration.

    Available alerts: system has rebooted, disk space is below X gigabytes, microphone status is missing, microphone calibration is below Y dB (between -80 and 0).
    The Microphone Calibration checkbox enables three separate OPC UA events:
    SystemPrimaryMicCalibrationEventType
    The calibration result for the primary element of the specified microphone has fallen below the specified threshold on the Maintenance tab.
    SystemBackupMicCalibrationEventType
    The calibration result for the backup element of the specified microphone has fallen below the specified threshold on the Maintenance tab.
    SystemMicFailedEventType
    The calibration results for both the primary and backup elements of the specified microphone have fallen below the specified threshold on the Maintenance tab.
  3. Select how often alerts should repeat if the status has not cleared.
    Repeat active alerts once every minute, hour, day, or week.
  4. Select Apply Changes, located at the top of the Maintenance tab.
  5. In your OPC UA client, subscribe to events published by the SmartController node (NodeId = 15553).
