1 General Information
In NACOS Platinum all alarms will generally be indicated in the same way in all cases. Both alarms from
the automation system and alarms from the navigation system are shown in the same place and in the
same way but their availability on the different MFDs is depending on their specific configuration.
It has been chosen to indicate the different states of an alarm by different symbols in dedicated colors.
Furthermore, the alarms have different audible indications emitted by the buzzer which is installed in
every MFD.
The symbols will be used in the following manner:
- Placed in front of the alarm line in Alarm Lists
- Placed in front of the label in the permanent area of
RADAR and ECDIS as status indicators on other places of
the HMI.
If the automation system is configured for the MFD, symbols will also be used as follows:
- As a separate symbol in Mimic Diagrams for binary alarms. (e.g. used for a level switch in a tank).
- As a symbol placed behind the Unit of an analogue value displayed on a Mimic Diagram (e.g. used
for display of a temperature with a limit).
- As a symbol placed beside a Function Block symbol (indicating the state of machinery components,
e.g. pumps, valves, generators etc.
Alarms and Warnings can be accompanied by a sound signal. The possible sounds emitted by the buzzer
are as follows:
For warnings with priority 3 the sound can be deactivated by the operator (see xyz).
