Alarms for dataset registers

The Monitor Wizard creates a module containing alarms for each register in a dataset that you specify. You access the wizard through the DeltaV Explorer in one of two ways: Either click the area where you want the module to reside, and then right-click Monitor Data Wizard or drag the dataset to the area. Refer to the DeltaV Explorer help for the specific procedure.

For floating point values, the wizard creates alarms using the Alarm Limit function block. For discrete values, the wizard creates module-level alarms. In either case, external reference parameters bring in the dataset register values.
