Alarm Inhibit Priority Row Edit

Name

Select (...) and select the Name of the alminhpriority record from the Alminhpriority Select dialog box.

Type

Select one of the possible alarm inhibit or suppression types. This is the suppression type that will be assigned a Priority. The choices are:

• Undefined. The alarm associated with this even was not suppressed or inhibited.

• Unknown. The alarm is suppressed by an unknown suppression method.

• Transient. The alarm is suppressed by the Transient alarm suppression type.

• Parent Control. The alarm is suppressed by the Parent Control suppression type. This type of alarm inhibit is directly related to a Controller command.

• Inhibited. This option indicates the database’s alarm inhibit flag is true. If the event is for an ‘abnormal’ alarm or state change, the alarm inhibit type will be ‘Inhibited’ only if the database point’s ‘Inhibit abnormal alarm’ flag is true. If the event is for ‘normal’ alarm or state change, the alarm inhibit type will be ‘Inhibited’ only if the database point’s ‘Inhibit normal alarm’ flag is true.

• Test Mode. The alarm is suppressed because the point is in an active test mode set.

Priority

Enter the priority level value that you want to assign to this priority Type. If there is more than one alarm inhibit type in effect for an alarm, the event that is generated will record the alarm inhibit type with the highest Priority number. A higher value in the Priority field indicates a higher priority and is more likely to be recorded as the cause of the alarm being inhibited. The default priorities are as follows:

• 0. Undefined

• 4. Unknown

• 8. App Specific

• 12. Transient

• 16. Parent Alarm

• 20. Parent Control

• 24. Inhibited

• 28. Test Mode
