Configure the Inhibits tab of the Valve record

The Inhibits tab on the valve record enables you to configure what alarms and events should be generated by a valve object.

Note: The inhibit fields on the Inhibits tab for valves are read-only when a valve is configured as Physical or Synthetic. If configurations exist, those settings will not affect the valve, as the configuration of the underlying status or multistate will be used. When valves are configured as Logical, these field behave normally.

To configure the Inhibits tab

1. Open the valve record. For more information on opening a valve record, see Opening the Valve Record.

   The valve Row Edit dialog appears.

   

2. Select Inhibits.

   The Inhibits tab appears.
