Micro-PWC CONFIGURATION GUIDE
System Configuration 25
For example, the default High Audio Priority setting is 4; this means that alarms and messages with priority
numbers 1 through 4 will be accompanied by a rapid beep, while alarms and messages with priority num-
bers 5 through 16 will receive the steady beep.
2.6.1.4.5 External Alarm Silence
The External Silence button opens a window ( Figure 2-10 ) that allows the user to configure a tag that will
silence an external alarm from the Micro-PWC. Select the Enable External Alarm Silence option to enable
the text entry fields. Enter the tagname.atom that controls the output to an external alarm annunciator
(e.g., horn, siren, etc.). In the Value field enter a value for the selected tagname.atom (e.g., 1 or 0 for a
digital tag) that will silence the alarm. After these values have been configured, the associated annunciator
will automatically be silenced when the internal alarm is silenced by clicking the horn icon in the Mini-Alarm
Window or by using
A LT -F11.
2.6.1.5 Default Alarm Setup
Click the Default button (near the bottom left corner of the Alarm Setup window) to change Top Alarm Line
Presentation, Audible Alarm Configuration, and Priority Colors to their default state. A pop-up dialog
prompts:
Are You Sure?
Click Yes to confirm, or click No to remain with the currently assigned colors.
2.6.1.6 Mini-Alarm Window Field Width
The top two lines in the Mini-Alarm Window display information about process alarms. This information is
displayed in a number of fields. The ordering of the fields is the same order used in the Alarm Review dis-
play (discussed in the Micro-PWC Operator’s Manual). The width of each of these fields is user-config-
urable. To configure field widths, click Mini-Alarm Format at the bottom of the Alarm Setup window to
display the Mini-Alarm Format window (
Figure 2-11 ).
