DEVICE

Annunciator

4–64
Description
The graphical annunciator panel provides an emulation of a conventional physical
annunciator panel with backlit indicators each inscribed with a description of the alarm
condition that lights the indicator. The annunciator has 36 user-configurable
(programmable) indicators. The indicators can be arranged in pages of 3x3 or 2x2 grids.
Each indicator can have up to 3 lines of configurable text. When the indicators are not
active (i.e. a configured FlexOperand for the annunciator is not triggered), the background
is black and the foreground text color is grey. When the associated FlexOperand becomes
active, the background and the foreground turns brighter in color per the color
configuration. When disabled, the indicators are greyed out with no text.
Layout - If the grid layout is selected to be 3x3, the annunciator has 4 pages. If the grid
layout is 2x2, the annunciator has 9 pages. The numbering of the indicators is shown as
follows.

Navigation - The annunciator panel can be displayed in two ways. By default, the
annunciator panel is programmed as one of the homescreens. This means that when on
the home page, pressing the home button multiple times lets the user rotate through all
the homescreens. Alternatively, the annunciator can be accessed by navigating to
Status\Summary\Annunciator\Page1. Individual annunciator pages can also be
assigned as a homepage. If the auto navigation setting is enabled in the setup, the screen
automatically jumps from home to the annunciator page with the first active alarm. Pages
with active alarms will have a maroon flashing tab pushbutton label. If other pages have
active alarms, the ">>" button will show a flashing label.
