Inhibiting Alarm Messages - Siemens OP5 Equipment Manual

Message Handling
Acknowledgement During configuration, you can combine several alarm messages to form an
groups
"acknowledgement group". In this way you can acknowledge all the other
alarm messages (consequential faults) in that acknowledgment group by ac-
knowledging the first alarm message – for example, the cause of the fault –
without all of them having to be output to the display. You can configure up
to four acknowledgment groups.
If alarm messages are not assigned to an acknowledgment group, only the
one that happens to be on the display is acknowledged if more are waiting.

Inhibiting Alarm Messages

Inhibiting the There is the possibility of inhibiting the display of frequently occurring alarm
display of alarm
messages for the time being until the OP starts up as a result of a cold or
messages warm start. Password level 8, at least, is required to inhibit the display.
Operation
To inhibit an alarm message, press the Acknowledge key and ESCAPE si-
multaneously. This message will not be displayed until the next time the OP
starts up.
Inhibited alarm messages are no longer inserted into the alarm buffer from
the time of inhibition, either. They are stored in the alarm buffer only from
the time they first occur until such time as the display is inhibited.
Note
The alarm message inhibit function should be used only during the commis-
sioning phase of the OP.
