You can also open a stand-alone Alarm Status Explorer at run time, by clicking Display
the Alarm Status Explorer, on the alarm and event summary toolbar. For more
information, see the FactoryTalk Alarms and Events Help.
Shelve or unshelve an alarm
Shelving an alarm temporarily suppresses it. When shelving, the operator specifies a
duration for the alarm to remain shelved. The alarm is automatically unshelved when the
duration period times out.
A shelved alarm is shown in the Alarm and Event Summary or Alarm Status Explorer.
However, a shelved alarm is not shown in the Alarm and Event Banner.
If alarms that were previously shelved need to be monitored again, you can unshelve the
specified alarms in the Alarm Status Explorer.
To shelve an alarm:
1. In the Alarm and Event Summary event list, select the alarm you want to shelve and
click the Shelve selected alarm button on the toolbar. The Shelve Alarm dialog box
opens.
2. In the Shelve Alarm dialog box, enter the duration (in minutes) to shelve the alarm,
and any optional comments.
3. When finished, click Shelve.
