|A Process is used to record a Start and Stop time. Generally this is used to record when a station/worker is in Production or running a Job/Job Order. This guide will cover how to add a Process with an Alarm as a subordinate monitoring points. This setup would be used when you do not want to see/use the Alarm until after the Process has been started. After creating this type of configuration, the Alarm button will be hidden when the Process is stopped. Once the Process is started, the Alarm button will show on the touch screen and can be selected. A Process can be added to the following device types BSC, TIM, PSM, PC BSC, & PC Input Module.
