Alarm Banner
The Alarm Banner is an optional display that pops up over the
current screen when an alarm is triggered. The banner contains a
message describing the alarm condition and alarm buttons
(acknowledge alarm, clear alarm) which allow the operator to act on
the alarm.
When alarms are triggered, they are added to an Alarm List. When
the alarm in the banner is acknowledged or cleared, the next alarm is
displayed. The banner displays messages in chronological order
(oldest triggered alarm to most recent triggered alarm).
The Alarm Banner is a global display that is created once in an
application, but appears in the same place on every screen. Only
alarms configured to display, when triggered, appear in this popup.
You can configure which objects are disabled when the Alarm
Banner is displayed. The options are:
•
all screen objects are disabled (default) or
•
only covered objects are disabled
Below is a sample Alarm Banner with all of the alarm objects.
