Assigning plant areas to Alarms and Events

To enforce DST license restrictions, each Remote Client session must have an area or set of areas assigned to it. This is done by assigning the areas to the Alarms and Events object under a Remote Client session in the DeltaV Explorer. (The assignment can be done using the drag and drop method or by right-clicking the Alarms and Events object and selecting Assign Area.)

Note

In order for certain operations in the operator environment (such as alarm area filtering) to function correctly, AREA_A must be one of these assignments.

The Alarms and Events object under a Remote Client Session object does not support the Event Chronicle database and therefore does not have an associated Properties dialog.

The assignment of an area to Alarms and Events for a Remote Client session does not limit the areas to which the user has access; the user's span of control is determined by User Manager settings. Rather, the area assignment defines which operator alarms will be seen by a user using that terminal session.
