Yes.

It all depends on the filter you choose for your External Alarm configuration.

With an all inclusive filter, any alarm will trigger the external alarm.

I'm sorry but I do not have the time to fully engage in giving a fully detailed answer.

Read pages 78-96 and 155-162 of the System 800xA Configuration User's Guide, 3BDS011222-510 RevF.

1. Clone the Common Alarm List filter object into a new with a useful name, e.g. "Site X External Alarm List"

2. Examine the categories included in the (clone) of the Common Alarm List. All should be enabled if at factory default. Maybe you want to exclude system categories keeping process only. The Advant Master categories have (MB300) suffix. The most important category is "Process(MB300)".

A lot of filtering can be added, but you most likely want to keep this list clean from any filtering.

3. Create External Alarm as per documentation. Use an Alarm and Event List aspect pointing to the filter created / configured in steps 1 and 2 above.

Step 2.5. Call Alarm list created in step 3 and verify it to contain all alarms you need.

Sorry; step 2.5; you must first create an Alarm and Event List aspect, then choose the filter created in step 2.

a) Alarm and Event List aspect is a "viewing glass".

b) Alarm and Event List Configuration object is a filter used by a). One filter can be used by many aspects.
