Alarm List
The Alarm List records information on triggered alarms. The
maximum number is 100 or as many alarms (up to 100) the terminal
can hold in nonvolatile RAM. You can set the number of alarms
stored in the Alarm List (1-100). The default is 25.
The Alarm List can be used multiple times in an application. It can
appear in the Alarm Banner and on other application screens.
Each time an alarm is triggered, it is added to the Alarm List. The
most recent alarm is displayed at the top of the list.
Each alarm can be configured to occupy multiple lines in the Alarm
List. The following data displays for each alarm, in the order shown:
•
acknowledge indicator (required)
✓ = Acknowledged Alarm
= Unacknowledged Alarm
= No Acknowledgement Required
•
alarm date and time (optional)
•
acknowledge date and time (optional)
•
alarm trigger value (optional)
•
alarm text including variables (required)
If the Alarm List is full when an alarm is triggered, the most recent
alarm is added to the top of the list and:
•
the oldest alarm not requiring acknowledgement is removed from
the list (this includes alarms that have been acknowledged or
alarms that do not require acknowledgement).
•
if all alarms not requiring acknowledgement have been removed,
then the oldest alarm is removed.
If a permanent Alarm List is required, use the Print Alarm List
button to print the Alarm List on a regular basis, or configure alarms
to print on occurrence.
The operator can acknowledge an alarm in the Alarm List by using
the up or down arrow keys on the terminal to select an alarm and
then pressing the Enter key.
Touch screen terminals require List keys to move the cursor up and
down the Alarm List. You can optionally use the Enter list key to
enable the operator to acknowledge an alarm in the list.
