System Preferences

Production System Warnings preference

This preference enables or disables the appearance of a Production System Warnings message when you perform certain actions that could impact the operational state or configuration of an online DeltaV system.

By default, the Production System Warnings option is disabled when DeltaV is first installed. When upgrading DeltaV, if the Production System Warnings option is enabled, this setting is preserved.

The following table lists actions that prompt the appearance of a Production System Warnings message when the Production System Warnings option is enabled and indicates whether or not the action requires downloading the workstation.

Important

For a Production System Warnings message to appear after making a change in DeltaV Explorer, the Warning Off option in DeltaV Explorer must be disabled. To confirm, click the Tools menu in DeltaV Explorer; if the Warning Off option is enabled, clear the check box.
