Chapter 2 Common Analog I/O Module Features
Enable Latching
You can enable alarm latching in the following ways:
• Module Properties dialog box - To see where to latch alarms, see the
following:
– Input modules - Alarms category
– Output modules - Limits category
For more information on how to use the Module Properties dialog box, see
Chapter 6,
Configure the Module on page 83.
• Module tags - The alarm type determines which tag to change.
For more information on module tags and how to use them, see Appendix
B,
Module Tag Definitions on page 97.
Unlatch Alarms
Once an alarm is latched, you must manually unlatch it. You can use the module
tags to unlatch an alarm. The alarm type determines which module tag to change.
For example, to unlatch a Low Low alarm on a 5069 Compact I/O analog input
module, you set the Chxx.LLAlarmUnlatch output tag to 1.
For more information on how to use the module tags, see Appendix B,
Module
Tag Definitions on page 133.
IMPORTANT
Before you unlatch an alarm, make sure the condition that triggered the alarm
no longer exists.
