Differences between an Alarm Summary and an Alarm Manager

Differences between an Alarm Summary and an Alarm Manager

The
Alarm Summary
screen lists alarms in
interesting
states that require attention. For example, the Alarm Summary table lists alarms that are In Alarm and Unacknowledged. The Alarm Summary table displays one alarm condition per row. View details of each alarm condition in the
Details
pane of the Alarm Summary table. This pane displays data, such as Current Value, In Alarm Time, Out of Alarm Time, and tag values.
The
Alarm Manager
screen lists all alarms, regardless of their states. The Alarm Manager table displays one alarm per row. All of the conditions are rolled up into one row for each alarm. To see the conditions of an alarm in the Alarm Manager table, display the
Details
pane for the alarm. Details include when the alarm condition is enabled or disabled, suppressed or unsuppressed, or shelved.
When selecting multiple alarms, the display details appear for the last selected alarm condition in an Alarm Summary table or the condition details of the selected alarm in an Alarm Manager table.
