Alarm Management
Mitsubishi Electric, MA00759F 165
Alarms can assume the following statuses.
Alarm times can be shown in the following format.
The alarm block can be accessed either by defining a jump to system block 990 in a
block, by pressing [LIST], or by allowing the controller to present the list through a
Display signal for block 990.
An alarm can be acknowledged by placing the cursor on the line with the alarm and
clicking [ACK], by pointing at the alarm symbol or by acknowledging it with a
function key. If a printer is connected, alarms can be printed out as they occur, or as
their status changes. This is specified when the alarm is defined. Alarms will be print-
ed with the number of events, date, time, status, and alarm text.
Historical inactive acknowledged alarms can be deleted by pressing [←] (BACK
SPACE). This function can be disabled using the DD command. Select Setup/
System Signals and type DD on the Commands line.
Return to the previous block by pressing [PREV] or pointing to [ESC] on the
operator panel.
By selecting Print signal for block 990 it is possible to print the current content in
the alarm list.
