Systems And Methods For Managing Unprocessed Alarms In Alarm Systems

Abstract: A method and system are provided for managing an alarm. The method and system can capture occurrences of an alarm for a monitored process; track the occurrences, including whether the occurrences, including a current occurrence of the alarm and a prior occurrence of the alarm, have been acknowledged by a user; and record alarm information for the occurrences of the alarm in a memory. The alarm information can include each occurrence of the alarm and information associated therewith including a timestamp of the occurrence and whether the occurrence of the alarm is acknowledged or not by the user. The method and system can further present or enable presentation of unacknowledged occurrences, from the tracked occurrences, for acknowledgement by a user. The unacknowledged occurrences can include a prior occurrence of the alarm. The recorded alarm information is updated to reflect the acknowledgement of the prior occurrence of the alarm when acknowledged.
