Chris,
If you are interested in inhibiting all alarms in a particular compound for the
period of the outage, I think you can tie a bit (like a motor running status)
to the CINHIB parameter in a compound block. You have to be sure that you want
all the alarms in that compound to be inhibited. When the critical motor
restarts the alarms start working again. You can also tie a manual inhibit
(from a display) to the CINHIB parameter but use "Caution Will Robinson".
Thanks,
Bob

Chris,
What I prefer to do in this situation is to filter alarms by priority. The
filter doesn't have to be by priority, but that is the usual way to do an alarm
filter. You can filter it by almost any parameter you wish.
The filters are set up using the Alarm Manager interface in Engineer mode.
After you've created the filter(s), you can build buttons on the Alarm Manager
using the Alarm and Display Manager Configurator (B0700AM).
When the board man gets in a pinch, he can click the button on the Alarm
Manager that corresponds to the appropriate filter, and presto, the alarms he
doesn't need disappear. Like I said, this is usually determined by priority,
but it doesn't have to be. You will get a red message on the AM that says
"Match Active". When things go back to normal, the board man can re-click the
filter button, and then all the alarms will re-appear, and the red "Match
Active" message goes away.
I really like this method, since it preserves all alarms for later use when
things quiet down, while allowing the board guy to concentrate on the important
alarms during an upset.
Thanks,

Subject: [foxboro] Alarm Clearing
All Knowing List- I am curious if anyone has had the need to allow
clearing of specific alarms and how you accomplished this. For example, we
have clearing disabled so we always have a list of active in- alarm's. In
a shutdown situation this may mask other alarms that may be more
important. Is there a way, via script or other programming, that I can
specify which alarms can be cleared and disable clearing on all others.
Thanks in advance,
Chris
