To check the current status of alarm suppression groups
1. Call up the Suppression Status display using one of the following methods:
l
Right-click an alarm on the Alarm Summary and choosing
Suppression Status
from the shortcut menu.
l
Right-click any element that represents a point (for example, the PV or the alarm
state icon for that point) on a faceplate, custom display, or point detail display
and choose
Suppression Status
from the shortcut menu.
l
Click the
Suppression Status
link at the right of the Alarm Details pane.
l
On the main Station menu bar, choose
ConfigureAlarm & Event
ManagementAlarms
to call up the Alarm Configuration displays, and then click
the
Alarm Suppression
tab.
The
Suppression Status
display appears, listing all suppression groups loaded to this
cluster.
Tip:
If the
State
of a suppression group is shown as
Disabled (disabled from
Station)
,
Suppressing (enabled from Station)
or
Not suppressing
(enabled from Station)
, this means there is currently an “override” on the
enabled/disabled setting that was configured for this group at a system level:
Overrides apply only to the server cluster that you are currently connected
to; they are not applied system wide. For more information, see the topic
“Enabling and disabling alarm suppression groups”.
