Configure the Re-Alarming time period for a point

Follow this procedure to make analog, status, rate, multistate, or remote point alarms re-alarm a set number of minutes after a Controller acknowledges them.

Note: In the following procedure, an analog point is used as an example. The procedure is similar for configuring status, rate, multistate, and remote points. The Alarming tab in the analog Row Edit dialog box is opened through the analog table listing in the Advanced Database Editor (ADE). For general information on ADE, and further information on the analog table, refer to the Advanced Database Editor (ADE) Administrator documentation and RealTime tables, respectively.

To configure the re-alarming time period for a point

1. Navigate to the Alarming tab in the analog Row Edit dialog box.

   

2. In the Enable Realarm (0-255 mins) field, enter the number of minutes after which an acknowledged alarm should re-alarm.

   Notes: An entry of 0 disables the Re-Alarming functionality.
   
   Re-Alarming will not be triggered when the Alarm Parking feature is enabled and the alarm has been parked.
