There is an assumption that the "slave" FV displays share a common plant area and, therefore, receive the same alarm set. As I understand what you are telling me, you have different "plant areas" using FoxView/FoxAlert from the same WP. If that's the case, you are using the software in a manner that contradicts our assumption. Is this the case? If so, why not buy another WP?

This creates even more confusion for the operator, as he calls up the AM and sees nothing. We're doing quite a bit of alarm rationalization in my plants at the moment, and I've been playing with the AM and block alarm configuration this to see what is going to be the best approach for us. I/A alarming is highly flexible in some areas, not granular enough in others, and in the end so far everything I've come up with involves one or more compromises. Maybe I'm just worrying about it all too much :) Corey Clingo From: "Johnson, Alex P (IOM)" <Alex.Johnson@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "foxboro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx" <foxboro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: 05/10/2012 12:03 PM Subject: Re: [foxboro] Installing IA series V8.X on Zone 2 workstation Sent by: foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Corey, Re: is the alarming going to be changed so that alarms can be directed to a particular display/AM instance rather than all instances on one station I'm not aware of any such plans. I'm curious though do the CAD filtering options not meet this need for you? They do for others which is why they exist.
