Dennis,
The usual answer is to configure your horn.cfg file to output priority 1
and 2 alarms, or whatever priority you wish, to a COUT block driving an
FBM10 (or the 200 series equivalent) 120V AC output which then drives a
standard annunciator horn. You can send different priorities to
different horns, and have separate horns for each plant unit or area.
We do that here, and it's very successful. If you want more info,
contact me off-line.

Subject: [foxboro] Unique Alarm Sounds=20
Our facility will have an integrated control room, 3 separate units
being operated by three separate operators from the same control room
with six screens per operating unit. My problem is with alarming,
currently only one operator is operating from this control room now but
will be joined by another in a couple of months. How can I
differentiate alarms based on sound so that each operating area has a
unique sound? I tinkered with the built-in alarm sounds and these are
unacceptable due to lack of volume or tone. Does anyone have any ideas
short of outputting the existing horn output to a distortion device and
then to an amp connected to a set of external speakers?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.=20
