There is no FCM Templet for device loops. Use the fields at the bottom of the Loop
FCM Display to make State, Mode and Command changes.
Alarms
Alarms based on the process measurement are defined as part of the loop. Alarms
on Setpoint, Output, Deviation, or other control parameters are defined as part of the
FCM. Each alarm has several parameters that can be set on an alarm type basis.
Each alarm type can be turned on or off. The assigned priority to the alarm type is
set to STANDARD, MED, or HIGH.
When rebooting a Connectivity Server node pair where MOD 300
messages/events are routed, wait until the primary Connectivity Server node is
fully booted and active before rebooting the standby Connectivity Server node to
prevent an alarm mismatch.

Alarm Post and Alarm Check

Alarm suppression is a useful feature during startup or shutdown conditions when
nuisance alarms can be generated by equipment that is not in service. ALARM
CHECK can be turned off (Disabled) during periods when the alarm conditions
should not be tested. ALARM POST provides the capability to prevent (Disabled)
alarms from printing and/or generating audible indication on operator consoles.
With ALARM CHECK Enabled and ALARM POST Disabled, the alarm conditions
will be tested and will be visible on displays; but, they will not generate unwanted
audible indications.
