T. PROJECT COMMON DEFINITION
medium-priority alarm designated for bit position 8, a high-priority alarm cannot
be designated for bit positions 9 to 32.
♦ Color
Choose from 16 colors corresponding to the alarm.
♦ Priority
Designate the alarm priority.
The system-fixed alarm status character string itself cannot be changed, but its
color and priority can be changed. For example, the PID controller block assigns
“HI” to bit position 17. By default this will be processed as a medium-priority
alarm upon its occurrence, and displayed in red. To change the above mediumpriority
alarm to the high-priority alarm and display “HI” in magenta, do the
following:
♦ To change it to the high-priority alarm, use the Alarm Priority Builder. Note
that changes made here will be effective for high-priority alarms of other
function blocks.
♦ In the Alarm Processing Table Builder, select the field for alarm
processing level No.5 for bit position 17, and then select [M: Magenta] for
[Color (5)], and [1: High-priority Alarm] for [Priority (5)]. (The color and the
priority can be changed for any of alarm processing level Nos. 5 to 16.)
Figure: Designation in the Alarm Processing Table Builder
♦ Select the [Alarm] tab in the Function Block Detail Builder, and then select
[5: User defined Alarm Process (5)] at [Alarm Processing Level].
