SIS alarm groups help you identify alarms associated with either physical devices or logical elements within a single module.
You can create several alarm groups for a module and assign the blocks and user-defined parameters within the module to an appropriate alarm group. For example, you might create an alarm group that includes all the function blocks associated with a voter (such as an analog voter block and its analog input blocks). You might also create a different alarm group for all the function blocks associated with a valve (for example, a discrete output block for the solenoid and a DVC block for the positioner). For each alarm group, you specify a set of displays (primary control, detail and faceplate).
Both the CSLS and SLS1508 support alarm groups.
