Critical alarms

This application monitors analog, status, and multistate points configured as critical points for any critical alarm conditions. If one of these points goes into alarm, the application sends you a Critical Alarm Active notification. This notification triggers two events:

• The Critical Alarm window appears on your computer, assuming you have DNA Permission - Critical Alarms permission.

  The Critical Alarm window notifies you that a critical condition exists in the system. The window stays in the foreground and cannot be manually closed: the window closes automatically after you either clear or acknowledge all critical alarms.

• A status or multistate point controlling an audible alarm triggers AVEVA Enterprise SCADA to generate said alarm.
