the background colour is displayed flashing. A vertical bar (|) is displayed in place an asterisk
for an unacknowledged message that is in a command group over which the operator station
does not have control.
Orig: Identifies the originator (source) of the message:
DP-OS# – Operator station
DpMain – Controller PS group
Equipment – Equipment monitoring system
DpM_Sim – DP Main Simulator group
Member: Members of the originator of the message (not relevant when the originator is an
Operator Station or a controller PS group with only one member). If the message is from a
controller PS group with more than one process station, this column identifies the members of
the group. It may contain up to three characters, depending on the redundancy level. For
example, for a triple-redundant system:
A B C The message was reported by all three process stations and is still active.
C The message was reported only by process station C and is still active.
- B The message was reported by process stations A and B. The message from
process station A is now inactive.
- - - The message was reported by all three process stations and is now inactive
(but is not yet acknowledged).
