Subject: [foxboro] Inhibit alarms; NOT
Folks,
This plant needs to prevent the inhibiting of certain (critical) alarms from
the Select Display by operators; period. No way, no one (from an
operational display), never, ...
I thought it would be easy just to secure the INHIB parameter with
C:B.INHIB.0. That worked at the block level, but the operators soon
discovered that they could select the individual block alarms
(Select/Alarms/HIABS, HHABS, etc.) and Toggle them to INHIBITED.
So to prevent this, I thought I could just secure the INHALM parameter in
the same way as the INHIB parameter. Since the INHALM parameter is a packed
boolean (range 0-FFFFFFFF), I thought C:B.INHALM.0 would to the trick, but
the Control Configurator will not accept it.
What format/syntax is the INHALM parameter expecting? 0 should be a valid
value; no?
Or any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance for your help ...
PS. Yes, we are on a path to evaluate all alarms, but I need your help in
the short term ...
