Re: you can use the new NASTDB and NASOPT parameter (time related parameters to

that yet

These parameters and others were added in V8.4. This is taken from B0700RT - 
Table D-3 Process Alarm Enhancements Summary:

The following Block Types
   PID, PIDA, PIDE,PIDX, PIDXE, DPIDA

Added support for:
   * Alarm Reprioritizaiton (PRTYPE) on these alarms: HHA/LLA, HA/LA, HDA/LDA, 
HOA/LOA
   * Alarm Message Regeneration (AMRTIN) on these alarms: HHA/LLA, HA/LA, 
HDA/LDA, HOA/LOA
   * Nuisance Alarm Suppression (NASOPT, NASTDB) on these alarms: HHA/LLA, 
HA/LA, HDA/LDA, HOA/LOA

"This can be a good Improvement for the I/A actually."

+1.  We try to attach alarms to the "primary operator interface" blocks, 
and if a controller exists, the PID(A) is almost always that block.

Hi Luciano,

For most block types (AIN, CIN, etc?) you can use the new NASTDB and 
NASOPT parameter (time related parameters to avoid chattering), but I am 
almost sure that PID\PIDA\etc... do not support that yet, so you have to 
stick with the deadband (MEASDB), not very reliable to avoid chattering if 
the noise or variance is high. Unless you can use the AIN instead of the 
PID to alarm (not a good idea most of the time, since the PID is normally 
the block you use in the display).

This can be a good Improvement for the I/A actually. Maybe there is 
something already, but I am not aware of it.

Ricardo
