Information and Alarm Windows

Chapter 7

7-14

If more messages occur than fit in the window, PanelView shifts the oldest
messages into the Alarm History screen and displays a message telling you
what it has done. You can view the Alarm History screen by pressing the
Alarm History button provided by the Full Alarm window.

The single-line Alarm window displays the alarm message, time and date
of occurrence and on/off status of the most recent alarm. The status of all
other alarms can be viewed in the Alarm History screen or the Alarm
Status screen. Since there are no buttons on the single-line Alarm window,
you should include a “Go To Screen” button on your operator screens to
call up the Alarm History screen.

The single-line Alarm window can only be removed from the screen by:

acknowledgement of the alarm in the Alarm History screen

a PLC-controlled clear alarm window

If the alarm displayed in the single-line Alarm window becomes inactive,
it still remains in the window. If the screen changes, the alarm display
remains on the new screen unless it is cleared by the PLC controller.
