Interpret the alarm indicators

The alarm indicators are color-coded to display the severity of the alarm. The alarm severity level and its color are configured by the Administrator.

The table below shows an example of alarm severity levels and their default configured colors.

Depending on your setup, your Alarm Summary and Point Alarm Summary displays may have a different appearance. These priority displays are provided by the Administrator to accommodate your organization’s unique needs. The Priority Displays, if configured, can be accessed by clicking the Priority Display icon on the Batch Transfer Control windows.

Setting the Priority Display in the Advanced Database Editor (ADE) defines which window will open when the Priority Display icon is clicked.

For example, if you decided to make the custom display "PROJECT_DISPLAY123" the priority display by entering PROJECT_DISPLAY123 in the Priority Display field of Main tab of the Batch Transfer Row Edit in ADE, then every time you select the Priority Display icon in the easy eXtended Operator Station (ezXOS), the display PROJECT_DISPLAY123 will open.

The following table details examples of Alarm Color Indicators.

Note: The severity of alarms may also be indicated by audible alarm messages or sound, depending on the system’s configuration.
