Alarm Display – Log Window / Alarms Tab
If a Receiver or I/O point is configured for Alarm operation, it will be displayed on the Alarms tab of the
Log window when it goes into an Alarm state.
This tab shows all alarms which are:
•
Active and/or
•
Unacknowledged.
The state shown will be the state at the time the alarm became active. It does not necessarily show the
current status.
If an alarm state has a sound configured for it, that sound will be played when a point goes into the alarm
state. For multiple alarms, the alarm sound will not be repeated unless 2 seconds has elapsed since the
previous alarm.
Alarms must be acknowledged. They can be acknowledged with either:
•
The Ack All button or
•
The Ack drop-down field in the individual alarm line.
Alarms will be removed from the window when:
•
The alarm is acknowledged and
•
The state returns to normal
If there is a nuisance alarm, it can be placed on Ignore status with the Ignore field.
Receivers and I/O points can be configured for Alarm operation by selecting an appropriate Display
Table. Alarm activity can also be enabled on an existing Display Table. See the States Tab section
starting on page 155 for instructions on how to enable alarms and sounds in the Display Tables.
