Versions Affected:

Resolved In Version:

R10.0a

Symptoms:

Note: This issue applies only to Detailed Alarms—not to History Alarms.

When looking at a Detailed Alarms window in PAC Display Runtime, you may see an alarm with a Priority of "-1"—even though the alarm was configured with a valid Priority value. This can happen when the alarm point was configured:

For a discrete point (Configure > Alarm Points > Add or Modify > Setup tab > Setup By > Discrete)
With "Show Warning State" selected (Configure > Alarm Points > Add or Modify > Setup tab > Show Warning State)
With a persistence time (Configure > Alarm Points > Add or Modify > Discrete tab > More)

Workaround:

Do not check "Show warning state" when configuring detailed alarms with a persistence time.

Resolution:
