Alarm Queue
When alarms are generated:
The highest priority alarm is placed in the front of the queue, regardless of when lower
priority alarms are generated. For example, if A114 (priority 3) and A116 (priority 4)
are currently in the queue, but A119 (priority 2) is generated, A119 is placed first in the
queue.
Alarms with the same priority level are placed in the queue based on the time the alarm
was generated. For example, if A010 (priority 3) is generated at 10:30 AM, and A012
(priority 3) is generated at 10:32 AM, A012 is placed in the queue after A010.
If the queue contains 30 alarms, the oldest, lowest priority alarm is overwritten with the
new alarm. For example, if the queue currently holds 30 alarms, 20 of which are prior-
ity 4, and a priority 3 alarm is generated, the oldest priority 4 alarm is overwritten.
Repetitive alarms such as A125, are placed in the queue only once. If the alarm is
regenerated, the alarm that is currently in the queue is overwritten with the new alarm
data (if applicable) and time. For example, A125 is overwritten each time it is regener-
ated, which is every five minutes. This prevents the queue from being filled with dupli-
cate alarms.
The following table shows which alarms have a numbered priority.
