Could you explain it in detail? Still don’t understand
Under certain production conditions, several alarms may occur at the same time; it isn’t necessary for the operator to see and handle them all at once, as they might not be able to keep up. Therefore, it is necessary to define a priority attribute for alarms; the higher the priority, the more serious the situation indicated by that alarm, and it requires immediate attention from the operator. Red is commonly used as the color to indicate high priority, while alarms with lower priorities may only need to be brought to the operator’s attention without requiring any action
Haven’t been to the control room, have you? ? ? Priority alarms are common in DCS or PLC systems, and the basic principle behind them is to display alarms in order of their severity. . Alarm priority is the basis for determining the order in which various alarms are processed and displayed. It indicates the severity of the alarm. Generally, different values for the alarm priority correspond to various levels of urgency: 1: Low priority; 2: High priority; 3: Emergency alarm. These three levels represent a hierarchy from low to high priority, with 1 being the lowest and 3 the highest. Alarms with high priority are handled first; in the real-time alarm records and system alarm record displays, those of high priority are shown first. . If you still can’t understand, think of an analogy and you’ll get it. The poster is a sniper on the battlefield. At a distance of 600 meters from the enemies, he spots three targets through his scope: 1 is holding a large sword, 2 is holding a pistol (with an effective range of 50 meters), and 3 is holding an AK-47 (the AK-47 has an effective range of 400 meters; its bullets remain lethal even at a distance of 600 meters). As a sniper, whom would you shoot first? There must be a sequence: first, shoot those carrying AK-47s like Cheng Yuan, because you never know when that damned AK-47 in their hands might fire and hurt you. Although the possibility might be small, you’re too close to the enemy. Next are pistols, and finally, the sabers. It’s definitely a sequence of 3, 2, 1 – shooting in that order, not the other way around. .
