PROVUE Extended Alarms Configuration Items
The PROVUE EXTENDED ALARMS form is used to define up to four
alarms for a point. These alarms are local to the PROVUE console, and
are not related to the internal extended alarms for a UOC, IFC, or MUX.
Alarm No. Ċ This read-only field specifies the number of the alarm
being configured.
Alarm Type Ċ Specifies whether the alarm is a high alarm, low alarm, or
deviation alarm.
Alarm Word Ċ Identify what you want displayed on the console when
the extended alarm is active. Enter as many as 8 characters in this field.
Attr Ċ This configuration item specifies the attribute that will be
monitored. The valid attributes are:
H PV - Process Variable
H RA - Ratio Value
H SP - Set Point
H %BI- Percent Bias Value
H %OUTPUT - Percent output Value.
For deviation alarms either SP and PV may be entered, however, the
deviation is always calculated as the difference between those two
attributes. They may only be compared to each other, not to any other
attributes. Not all attributes are valid for all console point types.
Deadband Ċ Alarm deadband may be used to prevent unnecessary
alarm re-activation when the measured variable is close to the alarm trip
point. The value of the monitored attribute must move away from the trip
point towards the set point by more than the deadband before the alarm
will be cleared. The valid range is any positive floating point number.
Group No. Ċ Identifies the number of the alarm group that this alarm
group will be assigned. Valid range is 1 to 7 for P4.1 and earlier
PROVUE consoles, or 0 to 7 for P5.0 and later versions.
Trip / Dev Limit Ċ The deviation limit is the amount by which a value
must vary from the reference value to trigger a deviation alarm. The
valid range is any positive floating point number.
