Override Group

Override Groups

are comprised of either Inputs or Outputs. These inputs or outputs, once

included in a group, are represented by a single set of Icons for the normal and abnormal

state of all the points in the group and allow for single action control. The groups can be

expanded for individual control and status.

Besides the summary status the Icons provide with multiple Inputs or Outputs, there is also

the ability to control the inputs armed state and the outputs on/off state through a single

action. The Override Groups are a menu item in the Selection Window located in the

Workstation program. Override Groups can also be defined on Graphic Alarm Maps for

status and control.
