Alarms (RMT_SPM_DT)

• Priority – This field displays the priority (such as Warning, Critical or Advisory) that is assigned to the corresponding alarm.

• Change Alarm Priority – This button is used to change the alarm priority of the corresponding alarm.

• Priority Adj – This button is used to decrease the alarm priority at run time. If a module has more than one alarm configured, the alarm priorities are all reduced by the same value, except that the lowest priority that will be set is 3, a logged event. (For example, if a module has three alarms, configured with alarm priorities of 12, 8, and 5, and a priority adjustment of 5 is made, the run-time alarm priorities will be set to 7, 3, and 3, respectively.) The configurable alarm priority held in the PRI field of each alarm parameter remains unchanged. Therefore, setting the priority adjustment back to 0 reestablishes the original priority levels (in the above example, 12, 8, and 5). Refer to Events and Alarms reference for more information on the ALARMS parameter and to System alarm management for more information on alarm priorities.

• Enable – This checkbox is a read-only indication of the corresponding alarm's ENAB (enabled) state.

• Out of Service – This check box is used to remove or restore the corresponding alarm from or to service.

• Shelve – This check box is used to shelve or unshelve the corresponding alarm.

• Help – This button launches the Alarm Help available for the corresponding alarm.

  • – Alarm Help is enabled.
  • – Alarm Help is not enabled but the user has the privilege to edit Alarm Help.
  • blank – Alarm Help is not enabled and the user does not have the privilege to edit Alarm Help, or the system does not have a license for alarm help.

These fields show the configured alarm priority for each alarm. Each alarm is assigned to one of the function blocks: AI1, MEAN, STDEV, and CV. The table below shows the function block and alarm corresponding to each of the fields.
