Emerson Series 3000 MVD Manuel D’Utilisation

146

The platform performs self-diagnostics during operation. If the platform detects certain events or 
conditions, an alarm message appears in the highlight bar at the top of the screen and an item is added 
to the active alarm log.

The active alarm log lists:

•

All alarms that are active (the condition that caused the alarm is active)

•

All alarms that have not been acknowledged (even if the condition causing the alarm is no 
longer active)

The alarm will be listed in the active alarm log and displayed in the highlight bar until the alarm has 
been acknowledged.

The active alarm log is organized in either of two ways:

•

If accessed via the View menu, as shown in Figure 17-2, only alarm categories containing 
active or unacknowledged alarms are listed. Alarm categories are listed in order of priority 
(Electronics, Sensor, Process, Configuration). To view individual alarms, place the cursor on 
an alarm category and press 

.

•

If accessed via the Maintenance menu, individual alarms are listed in numerical order by alarm 
number (alarm numbers are documented in Section 22.7).

For information about acknowledging alarms or responding to alarm messages, see Section 22.6.
