Design Goals

Your main design goal when implementing an alarm strategy is to create a flexible alarm system that delivers the information you require. This approach lets you create operator displays that show, filter, and sort alarms in any combination.

To implement an alarm strategy:

  1. Identify alarm areas in your plant and assign them to database blocks and alarm destinations.
  2. Identify your most critical blocks.
  3. Develop an alarm-filtering scheme.
