    3.2 Alarms/events list There is an “Alarm management” module. In order to check the alarm conditions, physical and logical digital inputs are used. The status of each input is sampled and the condition is then logically processed by a combinational network so as to establish whether the alarm or signalling is active. The minimum intervention time is 100ms.
