communication between areas which are distant from one another. Refer to
for details on use of the operator message feature.
An Alarm Acknowledge button is located at the left side of each alarm line. This button is displayed in the
priority color of the alarm, and contains the letter A until the associated alarm is acknowledged. If the asso-
ciated alarm has been acknowledged, the button is displayed in the priority color of the alarm, but is other-
wise blank. Individual alarms can be acknowledged by clicking this button.
A Vector button is located immediately to the right of the Alarm Acknowledge button. This button con-
tains the letter V. If alarm vectoring (see
Section 8.4.2.1, Display Vectoring from the Alarm Review Display
has been configured for the point named in that alarm line, the display assigned via alarm vectoring will
appear in the Operator Window which has the lowest number. If no display has been assigned via alarm
vectoring, the point display for the point in alarm will be used. If no Operator Window is open when the
Vector button is clicked, no display appears. To cause the display to appear in an Operator Window other
than the one with the lowest number, drag and drop the Vector button inside the frame of the window
where the resulting display will be contained. If the user attempts to place the display in a window other
than an Operator Window (e.g., a pop-up window), the Micro-PWC will emit a beep to indicate an error,
and no further action will be taken. If the contents of the alarm line change during the drag operation, the
alarm vectoring configuration in effect when the Vector button was selected will remain in effect until the
operation is completed.
The +ALARMS indicator is located immediately to the right of the title bar. This indicator appears when
more process alarms exist than can be shown in the alarm display area (i.e., when there are more than two
process alarms).
The Filter button is located to the right of the title bar, beyond the +ALARMS indicator. Clicking on this but-
ton causes the Mini-Alarm Filtering window to appear. This window contains options which can be used to
filter process alarms by Priority and Area. If all alarms will be displayed the label on this button reads Filter;
if some alarms will not be displayed due to filtering configured for the user’s login, the label reads Filtered.
The Mini-Alarm Filtering window also provides a toggle button with which to enable or disable audible
alarms. This toggle button always present when audible alarms have been enabled for the local Micro-
PWC via the Device Type Assignment window described in the Micro-PWC Configuration Guide.
2.4.5 Operator Window
The Operator Window provides the operator interface to the process, and can display output contained in
process displays. These process displays include:
•
Hierarchical displays (including Summary, Group and Point displays)
•
Trend displays
•
Graphics
•
System Status Display (SSD)
•
Process Alarm Review
✎ NOTE
The message filtering configured for a user’s login takes
precedence over filtering configured at any other level. If access to
a particular Message Type is filtered out at the login level, it cannot
be turned on using Filter on the Mini-Alarm or using the filter options
which appear on the menu bars of the Alarm Review, Event
Review, Message Review, or Event Historian displays. All
messages which are accessible to the user can be further filtered
using these items. If the user elects to filter the contents of a display
using a Filter option from a window menu bar or the Mini-Alarm
Window Filter, the menu bar item will change to L-FILTERED, to
indicate that filtering is local (L) to the window.
