Experimental Physics and
Industrial Control System

At a remote site, I have a backup generator that I am monitoring through
an EPICS IOC.  When the generator faults offline, it sends a numeric
fault to the IOC of what the particular error is.

I want to display a text error message instead of the fault number on
my edm display.  The generator generates 1 of 235 errors.  How do I
convert the error number into a text message, and return it through a ca
link?  The error number I can easily return, but is there a way to build
a 'lookup table' in EPICS? 

Also, is there a way to have the IOC send out an email alert when the
system faults?  The site is around 50 miles from my office, but only
around 5 miles from our nearest service person.  I would rather have the
system email the service person with errors like "Unit Overheat", or
"Unit Maintenance Preset" or other errors, rather than me have to look
up the error code and then figure out who to notify.
