Standard alarm settings
| Parameter | Values | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Evaluation Mode (Relative setpoint alarms only) | Value, Percentage |
Sets how the Pickup and Dropout are interpreted:
For example, assume Nominal is linked to the system frequency which has a value of 60 Hz. Pickup and Dropout are set to 5. If you set Evaluation Mode to Value, the Pickup threshold will be 65 Hz and the Dropout threshold will be 55 Hz. If you set Evaluation Mode to Percentage, the Pickup will be 63 Hz and the Dropout will be 57 Hz. |
| Nominal (Relative setpoint alarms only) | Linked source | The reference value for a relative alarm. |
| Pickup |
Relative setpoint alarms: 0–1000000000 Setpoint alarms: -1000000000–1000000000 |
Sets the threshold that the source value must exceed to activate an alarm. |
| Delay (Pickup) | 0–3600 |
Sets how long the source must be above the Pickup threshold before the alarm activates. |
| Dropout |
Relative alarms: 0–1000000000 Setpoint alarms: -1000000000–1000000000 |
Sets the threshold that the source value must fall below to deactivate an alarm. |
| Delay (Dropout) | 0–3600 |
Sets how long the source must be below the Dropout threshold before the alarm deactivates. |
| Alarm Priority | None, Info Only, Low, Medium, High | Select the priority that you want to associate with the alarm. To stop an alarm from being displayed but keep a record of the event, set the alarm priority to Info Only. |
| Custom | Enabled (1–255), Disabled |
Turn on Custom to define a specific alarm priority value. The available Custom priority value range depends on the Alarm Priority:
