Figure 75 - Alarm Management
An alarm is based on the monitoring and comparison of a measured object with configured thresholds. An
alarm is persistent in that it can exist in a raised state until it is later cleared. The attributes of an alarm for
example the action taken, frequency of monitoring and values of thresholds are fully configurable.
The unit has a number of fixed alarms by default. The attributes of a fixed alarm can be configured except for
the name and the monitored object; a fixed alarm cannot be deleted. In addition to fixed alarms the user can
create user defined alarms. A user defined alarm is fully configurable including the name and measured
object.
