Introduction |
This panel allows you to view the alarms in your system, and to have a summarized view of alarms, grouped following your criteria. |
|
Instructions |
Compared to fwAlarmHandlingScreen.pnl, this panel features the same alarm list. The alarm filtering is still available, using the usual button "Modify Filter".
Historical alarms filter is also available, inside the box "Mode".
The extra feature of this panel is mainly the Grouping: the alarms shown on the list are scanned and then a statistic is made:
Groups To create a group, click on the button "Groups Setup". Please refer to fwAlarmHandlingGroupsConfiguration. When a new alert displayed in the alarm list matches the criteria of a group, the group will increment the "New" counter. The "Unack" counter will be incremented only if the alarm is acknowledgeable and not yet acknowledged. The "New" counter will be incremented; it will be decremented only after the operator opened the alarm help (right-click on the alarm line, click on "Alarm Help"). The alarm matching is done in sequence: if it does not match the first group criteria, the second group criteria is then analysed, and so on. An alarm that matches a group will be ignored by all the following groups. The colour of the group is inherited from the highest priority alarm. Among alarms of the same priority, the colour of the unacknowledged alarm is taken. New alarms Every time a new alarm appears, a bell is ringed (option - see fwAlarmHandlingGroupsConfiguration for more info). An alarm appearing on the alarms list is marked as New if the operator has never opened its help (right-click on the alarm line, click on "Alarm Help"). |
