Another powerful feature of the Alarm Summary object is the ability sort the alarms that appear in the object. You can sort alarms by the following attributes in either ascending or descending order:
|
The attribute... |
Sorts alarms by... |
|
Time In |
The time the alarm first occurred. |
|
Block Type |
The block type. For example: AI, AO, DI, DO. |
|
Tag |
The block's name. |
|
Priority |
The alarm priority, as defined for each block in the process database (low, medium, or high). |
|
Node |
The node name where the alarm originated. The sort by node option is based on the order the nodes appear in the network list in the SCU. |
|
Ack/Time |
Acknowledgment and then by time in. When sorting alarms in descending order, unacknowledged alarms appear before acknowledged alarms. |
|
Ack/Priority |
Acknowledgment and then by priority. When sorting alarms in descending order, unacknowledged alarms appear before acknowledged alarms. |
