Alarms missing

The machine I am monitoring has multiple stops related to out of spec measurement.

Every time it is the same out of spec situation and corresponding same alarm !

The alarms are never acknowledged by the operator !

When I look in the alarm list (page) I only see the last alarm related to this out of spec situation.

All previous (same) alarms are missing in the list ????

Is this because the alarm is every time overwritten by the new alarm of the same type when not acknowledged or do I use the wrong arguments ??

All help is welcome.

  • Hi  ,

    What version of Citect / Plant SCADA are you using? What graphics template and include project is your project based on?

    There are typically two types of alarm pages:

    Active Alarm page - only displays active alarms, one instance of each active alarm. Only unacknowledged inactive or active alarms will be displayed here.

    History Alarm page (SOE or Summary) - displays all alarm transitions and history.

    Hope this helps clear up the confusion.

    Kind regards

    Olivier

  • Hello Oliver,

    Not really. ;-)

    Plant scade version is 2023.


    An external company made our scada, so I do not know what template the used.
    This is what I can see:

    First project has these included

    Second project has these

    Third project (our running project has these included

     

  • Hello Jan,

    From your description it looks like you are monitoring the alarms on a page that shows active alarms ('actuele alarmlijst' in Dutch). Does your application offer a historical alarm list as well? If your system integrator / vendor implemented this, it should be available on the menu, or via a button on a page somewhere.

    If not try and find a professional Plant SCADA partner in your area. Your AVEVA distributor (AVEVA Select Benelux, if you are in that region) can assist you with your problem, and with finding a good partner if needed.
