A5.18 Alarm Processing of Block
There are two kinds of alarms generated by the PID block: Block and process alarms.

A5.18.2 Process Alarms
There are six types of process alarms. Only one process alarm can be generated at the same
time, and the process alarm having the highest priority level from among those occurring at the
same time is generated. To activate an alarm on communication, it is necessary to specify the
priority for alarm activation in advance. To activate an alarm, set 3 or more. By sending with
priority information being added in a communication frame when the alarm is activated, for
example,thealarmisusedtoapplyaltertoignorevaluesbelowthespeciedpriorityonthe
host side.
The priority level should be set for each process alarm type.
