Alarms on external mechanical assets such as turbines, engines, pumps, and motors and alarms on external optimization assets that are monitored and diagnosed by systems that adhere to the Asset Optimization Architecture can be integrated into the DeltaV system and configured for PlantWeb alerts. External assets report alerts in one of four alarms: Not Communicating, Failed, Maintenance, and Advisory. Asset alarms are visible through the operator environment alarm interface tools, such as the alarm banner and the alarm summary object, as well as through Inspect with InSight. Asset alarms can be added to DeltaV displays. Asset alarms are configured in the DeltaV Explorer.
