Alarm Inhibit Priority table

The Alarm Inhibit Priority (Alminhpriority) records allow you to configure the priorities of the alarm inhibit types, so the most important inhibit types are reported. Alminhpriority records are located in the Alarm Inhibit Priority (Alminhpriority) table and are created and edited using the Alminhpriority Row Edit dialog box.

In order to manage alarms and events, it is necessary to analyze the alarms that have been generated and the alarms that have been inhibited or suppressed. It is possible to prevent alarms from being generated in a variety of ways (for example, inhibits, parent control suppression, transient suppression, etc.). When an alarm is inhibited or suppressed, an event may still be generated and stored in the Historical database (HDB) for this alarm. The event will have the alarm inhibit type specified and events can be filtered based on this inhibit type. If an alarm is inhibited for more than one reason, however, the highest priority inhibit type in effect will be the one that is stored in the event record.
