5. Under Alarm Display Options, specify the alarm conditions and
acknowledge statuses to appear in the list.
Initially, all options are enabled. This means all alarms are
displayed regardless of their condition or state providing the
terminal buffer has space.
Important: Each Alarm List must display at least one alarm
condition and one acknowledge status. If you
deselect all check boxes, an error message
appears.
For Alarm Conditions, you can display:
•
active alarms – whose trigger conditions have been met. This
option is only appropriate for bit triggered alarms.
•
inactive alarms – that were triggered but no longer meet their
trigger condition or were cleared.
For Acknowledge Status, you can display the following statuses
of alarms (in the terminal):
•
acknowledged alarms
•
unacknowledged alarms
•
no acknowledgement required
The next page shows examples of Alarm List configurations.
6. Under Input:
•
select the function key to activate the list on keypad terminals
•
disable or enable wrap around for the list cursor
Wrap around specifies whether the selection cursor moves to the
top or bottom of the list when the operator presses the up or down
arrow key on the first or last item in the list.
