Notification based on the workstation and on the operator acknowledgement level

This model is a combination of the two previous alarm management models:

The Alarm acknowledgment check box status (selected or not) indicated in Devices/Application/Alarms (for workstation priority) and System/Operator/Security (for operator priority) determines the resulting acknowledgement priority level for a given Operator-Workstation combination. For more information about the alarm acknowledgement check boxes, see Creating and modifying operator security levels and Defining Parameters.

Workstation Alarm Acknowledgement
Not selected Selected
Slider left Slider right
Operator Alarm Acknowledgement Not selected Never ackn. Never ackn.
Selected Slider left Never first Never first
Slider right Never first Product of both

Resulting acknowledgement priority levels:

  • Never ackn.: The operator and the workstation never receive any alarm acknowledgement notification.
  • Never first: The operator and the workstation are never the first to receive any alarm acknowledgement notification.
  • Always first: The operator and the workstation are always the first to receive any alarm acknowledgement notification.
  • Product of both: The resulting priority level is calculated as a product of the operator priority level and the workstation priority level.

Enter the Acknowledge time-out delay. If the delay is exceeded, a new acknowledgement notification is sent.

Note: When Event Operator mode is enabled, alarm management is defined according to Trigger and Alarm.
