Description
"Operators at Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) must handle alarms from a diverse set of systems with different response needs. The accelerator systems rely on annunciation and management through Control System Studio's Best Ever Alarm System Toolkit (BEAST) and operator-developed EPICS screens. In addition, there are separate non-EPICS based systems for building alarms and fire alarms. This presentation will cover the methods we use during alarm design and implementation to manage the alarm load.
