hi list we're on IA 7.1.1 windows. so we've no SOE feature. only alarm is displayed. we're in the midst of troubleshooting why our main cooling water pump tripped. when we go through the alarm historian.. we've 2 alarms triggered at same timestamp 21-feb-10 21:12:05 - LUBE WTR PUMP TRIPPED 21-feb-10 21:12:05 - LUBE WTR PUMP LOW DP how shld we treat the alarm list since both having same timestamp. does IA system works on "polling" method or "exception" method? shld we assume the pump tripped first then subsequently low DP alarm triggered? in the logics the pump can trip due to low DP. so we are puzzled which 1 comes first. _______________________________________________________________________ This mailing list is neither sponsored nor endorsed by Invensys Process Systems (formerly The Foxboro Company).
