CAMS for HIS
1. OutLine of CAMS for HIS
CAMS Key features
The world’s first consolidated real-time alarm management system • To comply with EEMUA No.191

Alarm Suppression
Suppression is a general term for the functions provided by CAMS for HIS to suppress A&E messages. Suppressing unnecessary A&E messages makes it easier for operators to recognize the more important A&E messages. The A&E messages of specified stations and alarm groups will be suppressed so as not to be displayed on the CAMS for HIS message monitor. The stations and alarm groups subject to suppression can be found on the Suppression dialog box.
Alarm Suppression Choose [View] - [Suppression...] from the menu bar on the message monitor of CAMS for HIS, or click [Suppression...] button on the toolbar. The Suppression dialog box will appear. The suppressed stations and alarm groups displayed on the Suppression dialog box are marked as “Suppressed” in the [Status] column.
Alarm Suppression
Enable/Disable Alarm Suppression – By using Touch targets, Push buttons or Soft key in Graphics Window. – The group name should be specified with the name of an alarm group or a station that the alarms need to be suppressed. Enable Alarm Suppression – (CENTUM VP Installed Folder)\program\ BKHCAMS_SON.exe Group Name Disable Alarm Suppression – (CENTUM VP Installed Folder)\program\ BKHCAMS_SOF.exe Group Name – From suppression dialog box by clicking the OFF button
