Micro-PWC OPERATOR’S MANUAL
User Interface 13
The Mini-Alarm Window appears on all screens and cannot be maximized, minimized, closed or resized.
Two alarm lines, one event line, and one operator message line are displayed.
The Mini-Alarm Window ( Figure 2-4 ) is composed of the following parts:
• Title bar
• Process alarm display area
• System event display area
• Operator message display area
• Alarm Acknowledge buttons to acknowledge alarms, events and messages
• a Vector button on each process alarm line (lines 1 and 2), used to call up a predetermined
display associated with the point which is in alarm.
• a Filter button and More Alarms (+ALARMS) indicator.
The title bar identifies the window by Micro-PWC name. The name of the current host node is displayed to
the right of the Micro-PWC address. If the system (i.e., Micro-PWC1) communicating with the Micro-PWC
is the primary node assigned to the Micro-PWC1 (refer to the Micro-PWC Configuration Guide), it will be
displayed in normal video. If the host node is a backup node, the host node name will be displayed in
reverse video. The title bar also contains a string which can be configured to provide further information,
such as plant name and location. The login name of the user currently logged in on the Micro-PWC
appears on the title bar, followed by the +ALARMS indicator (if more alarms exist), a Silence button, and
the Filter button. The Silence button contains a horn icon on the button face, and is visible only when audi-
ble alarms exist.
The process alarm display area has a black background, on which up to two process alarms appear. The
data contained in each line of the process alarm display area is displayed in a number of fields; the width of
each field is configurable. The fields are:
• Priority
• Area
• Time
• Date
• Tag
• Status
• Alarm tag
• Legend
The system event display area appears below the process alarm display area. Event messages report the
occurrence of system events (as opposed to process events) such as database loading and server status
(e.g., Server is Offline). One event message is displayed in this area.
The operator message display area appears below the system event display. Operator messages are sent
to all operators in an area of the plant to provide information. This feature provides the users with online
