9.10 Alarm suppression
Alarm suppression refers to suppression of alarm and event notifications in the Desigo system. Thus,
sending BACnet event notifications is suppressed. Alarm suppression does NOT prevent detection of alarm
states.
Alarm suppression types
The following types of alarm suppression exist in Desigo:
● Alarm suppression by automation station using function block AS_STA allows for implementing alarm
suppression at the automation station level.
● Hierarchical alarm suppression is made possible via the common alarm object based on the structure of
the technical view.
● Specific alarm suppression: All alarmable objects offer alarm suppression by object.
● Exceptions for alarm suppression: Each alarmable object has a pin SupEcpt. This pin allows for defining
exceptions to hierarchical alarm suppression.
Validity for alarm suppression
All types of alarm suppression apply to Desigo PX. Desigo room automation devices can generate and
suppress alarms.
