Resetting latched digital alarms
Digital alarms can be latched. This means that the digital alarm will remain In Alarm,
even if its alarm condition returns to normal, until an operator resets the alarm.
An operator can only reset a latched alarm when the alarm condition returns to normal.
Otherwise, the attempt to reset the alarm will fail and generate an error.
For details about setting up and resetting digital latched alarms, see the FactoryTalk
Alarms and Events Help.
Most alarms are configured to require acknowledgment. If you want specific alarms to always be
in an acknowledged state, in the Alarm and Event Setup editor for these alarms, clear the check
box Acknowledge required.
To provide the button, Acknowledge all alarms contained in the list, you must select it in the
Toolbar tab of the alarm and event summary’s Properties dialog box.
