Description of the Alarm Priority System

The permanently visible alarm is the top most urgent alarm at any moment. Alarms have priority from 1 to 10 to
control urgency. Priority 1 is the highest. The list of alarms chapters show these priorities for each alarm with
following syntax: "/1" at the end first line means priority = 1, "/1/8" at the end of first line means that priority is = 1,
if unacknowledged and priority = 8, if acknowledged but the state of alarm still exists. Unacknowledged alarm is
shown in black text (or white depending on color scheme) on red background and acknowledged alarm which still
exists is shown in orange text on white background.
You may view the alarms in the Alarm Queue. Place the cursor on the alarm text and then push the right mouse
button. See the example below.
How to read the Alarm Queue (first row as an
example):
•
First digit "2" indicates alarm priority.
•
Second four digits "5100" indicate alarm number.
•
Text indicates reason of alarm "Safety Contour".
In the top alarm queue example, alarm priority changes
from 1 to 8 after it is acknowledged. Then alarm 5100 is
assigned highest priority.
In the bottom alarm queue example, the priority of alarm
5100 is changed to 10 after it is acknowledged. Then
alarm 5103 is assigned highest priority.
