This is only possible with 8.0. The 8.0 AM allows you to switch between databases to view one or more (one at a time per AM). If you have more than one AM per workstation you could view Unit 1 alarms on the first AM and the Unit 2 alarms on the second AM. With 6.x or 7.x I/A you can send all the alarms, Unit 1 and Unit 2, to the workstations. You can then create a match/filter specification to view either the Unit 1 or 2 alarms. The drawback to this is you would have both Unit 1 and 2 alarms in your CAD database. If you get a flood of Unit 1 alarms it could force all your Unit 2 alarms out of the CAD database.

At present we have the alarms for, say, unit 1, directed to on WP, and the alarms for say, unit 2, directed to 2 other WP's. I'd like for the unit 2 operator to be able to "back up" the unit 1 operator on handling alarms, Unit1 has an audible alarm that the unit 2 operator can hear. I was poking around in the alarm manager screens, and I found under Display -> Operations, that I can bring up a new window, that has "environments" -> as one of it's choices. Is there some way I can configure this so that the WP's for unit2 can "switch environments" and see the unit1 alarms? -- U.S. Encouraged by Vietnam Vote - Officials Cite 83% Turnout Despite Vietcong Terror - New York Times 9/3/1967 _______________________________________________________________________ This mailing list is neither sponsored nor endorsed by Invensys Process Systems (formerly The Foxboro Company).
