Almlimitset Row Edit: Main tab

Name

Enter the name of the new record.

Note: If you want to edit an existing record, select (...) and select the name of the almlimitset record from the Almlimitset Select dialog box.

Description

Enter a description of the record. The Description can be up to 47 characters in length. This field is for information purposes only and can be used to describe the record, its association with other points, or any other textual information. The Name and Description configured for a record appear in the summary tables in easy eXtended Operator Station (ezXOS).

Group

Select (...) and select the name of the group this record belongs to from the Group Select dialog box. Groups are assigned to closely related records.

Dataset

Select (...) and select the name of the dataset you want to associate with this record from the Dataset Select dialog box.

A dataset contains privileges assigned for each system and mode. Once a record is assigned to a data set value, the dataset can only be changed to a value for which the system has a privilege record. A record’s dataset can not be changed in such a way that the system can no longer access the record.

Active Alarm Limit

Enter or select the name of the almlimit record whose alarm limits you want to use for this alarm limit set.

Attention: When creating a new almlimitset record, leave this field blank and save your changes. The system will not allow you to select the name of the desired almlimit record until you complete the following procedure, even if the almlimit record already exists:

1. After saving the new almlimitset record as described, create an almlimit record, or navigate to an existing almlimit record (refer to Configure alternative alarm limits).

2. In the Alarm Limit Set field on the Main tab in the almlimit Row Edit dialog box for this record, enter or select the name of the almlimitset record.

3. Navigate back to the Main tab in the almlimitset Row Edit dialog box and select the name of the almlimit record from Step 1.

Use Multistate Point

Select to have an associated analog, rate, or flowTotalConfig point use a specific set of alternative alarm limits when the Multistate Point enters the state specified in the State field on the Main tab in the almlimit Row Edit dialog box (refer to Almlimit Row Edit: Main tab).

Note: If this checkbox is not selected, the application uses the Active Alarm Limit.

Multistate Point

The name of the multistate point whose state message text determines which almlimit record becomes active.

For example, if the State field of a certain almlimit record reads OPEN, this almlimit record becomes active when the Multistate Point's state message text changes to OPEN.
