In case of an alarm different display forms and recording mechanisms help to locate and determine a certain error. If 2 working stations exist, one of them is configured as a redundancy server, thus safeguarding that in case of a failure of the server no process interruption takes place. The processes are displayed as both, mimics and subsystem images. Online trends allow to continuously monitor both, the current measuring values and a history of all measuring points. A control permission handling mechanism ensures that only those user groups or stations can control processes, who are entitled to do so. The alarms of certain measuring points can be faded out, if needed. This may be of interest, if a sensor is defective and the alarm occurrence is to be avoided. The inhibiting of alarms is automatically transmitted to the visualization system, where the inhibited alarms are displayed in a screen-list. Redundancy If 2 working stations exist, one of them is configured as a redundancy server, thus safeguarding that in case of a failure of the server no process interruption takes place. The data exchange and the changeover to the redundancy server is performed automatically; i.e. without process interruption. A re-changeover to the original server is not done; i.e. after error elimation the latter continues to operate as the redundancy server.

The utmost right field in the footer always indicates the station i. having the control permission for the selected menue eg. indicates the control permission of the ECR1 station). This field can have the following colour: * green: its the actual workstation, which possesses the control permission, * red: the workstation indicated in this field has the control permission for the current menue, * orange: like red; the difference is, that the selected image is not used by any other workstation. Moreover, it is defined for each workstation, which user group has which right in relation to each menue. This is done via the login. The allocation of access rights to user groups normally is as follows: * View User: lowest level; i.e. only viewing rights + Engineer: acknowledging and controlling rights = Chief: right to control, acknowledge alarms, change parameters, trend pages, set date/time * Service: all rights. + SysAdm (System Administrator): From the bridge workstation e.g. in general only restricted Tights are allowed. Taking Over the Control Permission The prerequisite for successfully taking over the control permission is the user login.
