Micro-PWC OPERATOR’S MANUAL
80 Process Alarms
8.4 Process Alarm Review
The Alarm Review display allows the operator to view multiple Process Alarms in a single display. The
actual number of alarms which can be seen depends on the size of the Operator Window in which they are
displayed.
8.4.1 Accessing the Alarm Review Display
The Alarm Review display is accessed using the menu available from the Operator Window menu bar.
Choose the sequence Select > Alarm Review. The Alarm Review window (
Figure 8-1 ) will be displayed.
The Alarm Review display is filtered to reflect the access configured for the user currently logged in to the
Micro-PWC. The menu bar of the Alarm Review display contains a Filter option. Like the Filter button on
the Mini-Alarm title bar, the label displayed for this option indicates whether alarms displayed in the Alarm
Review window have been filtered.
If all alarms will be displayed, the menu option reads Filter. If some alarms will not be displayed, due to the
filtering configured for the current user’s login account, the menu option reads Filtered.
Click on this option to display a pop-up window containing a user interface. This window contains options
which can be used to filter process alarms by Process Alarm type, Priority, and Area. If additional filtering
options are applied to the Alarm Review using this window, the label reads L-Filtered.
By default, the alarms are sorted by priority. Alarms which have the same priority are further sorted by
time. Either the oldest or newest alarm can be first in time order, depending on the option selected when
the system was configured. A quick way to see the default at a glance is to click the Sort option on the
Alarm Review display menu bar, and view the resulting display. (The Sort option is described in
Section
8.4.4, Sort Alarms in the Alarm Review .)
8.4.2 Alarm Review Display Acknowledgment
Each line in the Alarm Review display contains data pertaining to one particular alarm. At the far left side of
the line is the Alarm Acknowledge button. An A displayed on the face of the button is a request for
acknowledgment, indicating the alarm is unacknowledged. If the face of the button does not contain an A,
the alarm has been acknowledged.
