Implementing an Alarm Strategy
Before you implement an alarm strategy, take the time to think about the blocks that should generate alarms, the alarm destinations that will receive them, and how you want to display alarms to your operators. Once you have collected this information, you can quickly implement your alarm strategy.
This chapter discusses additional issues you need to consider when implementing alarming. It includes the following sections:
- Design Goals
- Identifying Alarm Areas
- Identifying Your Most Critical Blocks
- Filtering Alarms with the Alarm Summary Object
- Filtering Alarms on iFIX and FIX32 Clients with the FilterAlm.ini File
