Cause
PowerLogic devices such as CM4000 and PM800 devices have the ability to alarm on digital input status changes. Unfortunately there is no way to program a delay into the logic.
Resolution
With PME 8 and later version with alarm configuration we now have the ability to add delays to digital alarms. Adding a delay would make the alarms more consistent with other alarms that have delays built into them.
