5.8.4 AlarmSuppressionGroupType

This is a subtype of AlarmGroupType that can be used to suppress other alarms. This subtype of AlarmGroup extends the AlarmGroupType to allow the addition of Variables that have a Boolean DataType. The Variable can be thought of as representing the Id of the ActiveState of an Alarm, i.e. when any of the included Variables have a value of true the AlarmSuppressionGroup is active.
