View a point's alarm inhibit status

To determine whether or not you can inhibit alarms on a point for a configured amount of time, access the Control dialog box for the point of interest.

In the following procedure, a status point is used as an example. The procedure is the same for rate, multistate, rtstring, connection, and remote points. The Status Control dialog box is opened through either a station schematic or the Status Summary window. For information on the Status Summary window, refer to the AVEVA Enterprise SCADA HMI Controller documentation.

To view a point's alarm inhibit status

1. Open the Status Control dialog box.

   

   Abnormal, and possibly normal, alarms are inhibited on the point if the checkbox to the left of Inhibit Alarms is selected.

2. Select Inhibit Alarms.

   The Alarm Inhibit dialog box opens.

   

   The checkboxes indicate the point's alarm inhibit status. The first two checkboxes are read-only and appear clear or selected based on Administrator configuration.

   The Operator Inhibit checkbox is discussed in the procedures below.
