13 Alarms
The Alarm Status function provides a convenient method for creating alerts for various
conditions that may warrant immediate attention from operators. A single LED located at the
top of the screen next to the Alarm Status button alerts the user to changes in the status of any
configured alarms on a “most severe” basis, and provides navigation to the more detailed Alarm
Status screen.
Each HMI instance (either remote or local) can have customized alarms, see Setup on page 217 .
However, if the user updates the HMI with files from the CPU it will overwrite the alarm
configuration, see chapter 9 in the System Administrator Manual, DEH-500 for more details.
13.1 Use
During regular operation, Alarm Status is displayed as shown in Figure 13-3.
