Retrieving and Resetting Alarm Reports
When an alarm condition occurs, the appropriate front panel LED lights and HMI Screen 1.2.1,
\STAT\ALARMS\DETAILS, is displayed. (See Section 10, Human-Machine Interface, for more information
about automatic display priority logic.) The HMI display scrolls between displaying all active alarm points.
This includes alarms that are not programmable (relay trouble alarms). Any latched alarms that are not
currently active can be reset by pressing the HMI Reset key. See Figure 6-25 for logic.
