Configuring System Data
6.3 System parameters
System parameters are defined in Table 6-1.
6.3.1 Alarm severity
Alarms are organized into four categories. Within each category, alarms are classified into three levels
of severity. The severity level controls device behavior when the alarm condition occurs. See
Table 6-2.
Some alarms can be reclassified. For example:
• The default severity level for Alarm A020 (cal. factors missing) is Fault, but you can
reconfigure it to either Informational or Ignore.
• The default severity level for Alarm A102 (drive over-range) is Informational, but you can
reconfigure it to either Ignore or Fault.
If an alarm can be reclassified, the
CHG function is assigned to the F1 button. If an alarm cannot be
reclassified, the F1 button is unassigned. The alarm listings in Section 22.7 also provide information
on which alarms can be reclassified.
