The operator can view the status list in three different modes:

All alarms—shows the status of all alarms that have been defined in the Alarm Setup
editor.

Active alarms—shows the status of all the alarms that are currently active.

Past alarms—shows the status of all the alarms that have been active since the alarm
status has been reset.

The operator can press the alarm status mode button to cycle through the different modes.

If desired, you can set up the alarm status list to show alarms for specific alarm triggers
only.

FactoryTalk View comes with a library graphic display called [STATUS] that contains an
alarm status list object, alarm status mode button, and other buttons for working with the
list. You can use the display and objects as is, customize them, or create your own.

For more information about using alarm status lists, see page 9-34.
