Appendix C - Alarm Configuration Overview
Introduction
Alarm monitoring may be assigned to any analog signal, digital status, or calculation. Each PID loop also
provides up to four alarms of various types. Alarm flexibility is also expanded using the alarm block, which
allows selective set-up of alarm hysteresis, deviation alarms, on delay, selective latching, and a disable
input to control when the alarm is active.
Active alarm indication is provided on all operator displays and alarm group displays are provided to view
and acknowledge active alarms.
Up to 120 alarms may be configured, applied to analog, loop, or digital tags.
