Alarm limit enable
This list box displays the codes of each alarm test. This box allows the user to
disable and enable individual alarm tests. Once the alarm tests have been
created, they appear in the Alarm Limit Enable list box.
Alarm template
Alarm Templates apply only to Local alarms and can only be created for numerical
database point values. Once an alarm template has been selected, its attributes
are copied to the new local alarm.
Sharing global alarms
Many points can share global alarms. Once a Global Alarm is created, it becomes
available for assignment. Not only does this save time in the creation process, but
also when editing the alarm. When a Global alarm is edited, the changes apply to
all assigned points.
Alarm graphic and alarm help
You can set up your alarms to make help graphics and help files available that can
assist the operator when dealing with an alarm. There may be specific reasons for
certain alarms and specific tasks the operator must perform as a result.
The user can select from a number of standard graphics that he or she wants to
display in event of a specific alarm. Similarly, help files (.hlp or .htx) can be
included that give the operator more information and instructions regarding the
alarm.
All alarm graphic and help files must be properly assigned and entered into
FuelsManager with the Graphics Files Configuration feature and the Help Files
Configuration feature respectively (See Defining System Resources).
