Gas quality Row Edit: Inhibits tab

You can elect to inhibit the alarm and event information that is shown to the Operator. There are a few alarm and event situations that inhibiting the alarm and event logging will effect:

• Normal alarms and events are generated when a gas quality (GQ) was previously in an error and alarm state. By default, when the conditions for successful functioning are met, a Normal Alarm and Normal Event are recorded to inform the Operator that things have returned to normal. If you select the Normal Alarm and Normal Log checkboxes on the Inhibits tab, then the notifications for things returning to normal are not presented to the Operator.

• Off-Normal alarms and events can occur in many situations. For example, an issue reading the input data required to perform periodic host calculations or calculating the GQ values will generate an Off-Normal alarm and event. If you select the Off-Normal Alarm and Off-Normal Log checkboxes on the Inhibits tab, then notifications for things that are abnormal are not presented to the Operator.

• Setpoint limit alarms occur as a result of one or more components exceeding the valid range of data defined in the Setpoint Limits tab. Selecting Inhibit Setpoint Limit Alarms inhibits both normal and off-normal alarms related to setpoint limits. The system will still generate events related to setpoint limits.
