Alarm Suppression

Geo SCADA Expert has the ability to suppress alarms on specific database items, either while a particular alarm is active on a ‘parent’ item, or while the value of a particular property on the 'parent' item fulfills particular criteria. You can use this function to help avoid 'flooding' the system with alarms that are a natural consequence of other alarms or expected situations.

When an alarm is suppressed, it is omitted from Alarms Lists and the Alarm Banner for all users, but its alarm state is apparent on other displays. Users cannot acknowledge alarms that are suppressed and any alarm redirections remain inactive for the period that the alarms remain suppressed.
