Override Group
72
Override Groups are comprised of either Inputs or Outputs. These inputs or outputs, once
included in a group, are represented by a single set of Icons for the normal and abnormal
state of all the points in the group and allow for single action control. The groups can be
expanded for individual control and status.
Besides the summary status the Icons provide with multiple Inputs or Outputs, there is also
the ability to control the inputs armed state and the outputs on/off state through a single
action. The Override Groups are a menu item in the Selection Window located in the
Workstation program. Override Groups can also be defined on Graphic Alarm Maps for
status and control.
