by pass points

good day all,

i am trying to create a display which show any point with active bypass. meaning, an operator bypass any point, it should appear right away on that display.

is there an easy away to link bypass active points to the display? 

thanks,

Esam

    I would not create a display for bypassed points because you don't know how many or how few are bypassed at any one time. Do you want to monkey around with visibility for blank fields?

    You can create a list of modules with a bypass true by creating an advisory alarm in the module class indicating that at least one bypass has been set to true. Then you can use the alarm summary of advisory alarms to get a list of the control modules that have a bypass set to true.

    There are probably other methods as well.

    I've created similar displays in the past, using an animated Interlock Diamond. Gray diamond = all interlocks met, Red Diamond = interlocked, and an X or "Ghostbusters" symbol over the diamond = bypassed interlock. To get details on what is interlocked or bypassed, the operator would need to click on the diamond to bring up the detail pop-up for the module.

    This diamond would be displayed on the normal operator displays, but also placed on an Interlock overview display. Having a single display with interlock status makes it very easy for anyone to quickly determine interlock status. In one area I worked, the interlock screen was a part of the operator shift rounds – operators had to record the number of interlock bypasses (normally 0) and number of interlocked devices and this was reviewed by management on a daily basis.
