The alarm status list graphic object
The [STATUS] display contains an alarm status list graphic object, which lists the alarm
messages. You can set up the alarm status list to show the status of all alarms that have
been set up, active alarms only, or all alarms that have occurred since the alarm status was
last reset. The alarm status list in the [STATUS] display is set up to show the status of
active alarms (but you can edit it, if desired).
For more information about the alarm status list, see page 9-34.
Buttons in the [STATUS] display
The [STATUS] display contains alarm buttons for resetting and silencing alarms,
changing the display mode, printing the status of alarms, and opening the [HISTORY]
display, as well as buttons for scrolling the list and closing the display. For information
about how the buttons work, see page 9-36.
The [HISTORY] display
The Libraries folder contains a graphic display called [HISTORY]. It is similar to the
[ALARM MULTI-LINE] display, but the alarm list graphic object is larger (to show more
alarm messages at once), and the [HISTORY] display contains more buttons. The
[HISTORY] display comes in two sizes, 640x480 and 800x600.
