Figure 85 - Alarm Status Dynamic Alignment
Dynamic alignment makes sure that every relay has an assigned Alarm Status.
Voted Alarms can define multiple outputs. Voted Alarms, when not referenced
by a relay, are associated with Alarm Statuses only after all Relays are assigned.
Static Alignment
Static alignment assigns an Alarm Status to each Voted Alarm, which can have
only one output. This method is often simpler to use as it is apparent which
Voted Alarm each Alarm Status associates with. However, in this mode it is left
to the user to know which Voted Alarm and Alarm Status associates with each
Relay. Also, if a relay is configured to actuate only on Fault then there is no
associated Alarm Status.
IMPORTANT Every DYN module includes one onboard relay. When using Dynamic
Alignment, the first Alarm Status is always assigned to the Voted Alarm that
is referenced by the onboard relay (Relay 0), or the first Alarm Status is
reserved for use by that relay.
