AB - BLOCKED ALARMS HANDLING

With the commands of this command group you can block the effect of an alarm to the
system, remove alarm blocking and display the blocked alarms.
A blocked alarm has no effect on the system's maintenance actions, that is, it does not
activate the recovery or the fault diagnosis. Neither is the alarm printed out locally on the
alarm output device nor sent to the operation and maintenance centre.

AB - Blocked Alarms Handling

ABB BLOCK ALARM

Function

With this command you can block alarms. The alarm is specified on the basis of the
alarm number. The object unit can be defined so that the alarm is blocked when its
object unit is any unit, any unit of a given unit type, or one specific unit.

Parameters

alarm number: unit type, stage, pair, unit index;

Syntax

ABB: [ <alarm number> | <all> def ]:

[ <unit type> | <all> def ],
[ [ <stage> | <pair> ] | <all> def ],
[ <unit index> | <all> def ];

Parameter explanations

alarm number
This parameter identifies the number of the alarm to be blocked. The default is all
alarms. If you use the default, you must identify the object unit in the second parameter
block.
unit type
This parameter identifies the type of the object unit of the alarm. The default value is all
unit types.
stage
This parameter is used, when necessary, for defining the stage of the object unit of the
alarm that you want to block. The default is all stages.
pair
This parameter is used, when necessary, for defining the pair number of the object unit
of the alarm that you want to block.
unit index
This parameter is used for defining the index of the object unit of the alarm that you want
to block. The default is all indexes, that is, all units of the unit type that you have identified with unit type parameter and, when needed, with stage or pair parameter.
If you use the default value in this second parameter block, you must enter alarm
number parameter in the first parameter block.

Examples

1. To block alarm 1623 that has the OMU as the object unit, supply the command
ABB: 1623:OMU;
