Improved Alarm Management

Overview

Benefits

To align with ISA Standard 18.2, FactoryTalk Alarms and Events 2.60 will support the Shelved State.

Shelving an alarm is similar to suppressing an alarm but with an expiration time.

ISA 18.2 aligns suppress as a programmatic command that should not be exposed to an operator.

Shelved provides the benefit of allowing user to better manage their alarm strategies, make adjustments, and operate much better.
