Alarm characteristics

Apart from the identifying alarm number, each alarm is given a set of attributes which describe nature and severity of the process alarm:

Priority, from 1 to 255
Date and time of alarm occurrence
Date and time of alarm end
Time of alarm acknowledgement
Name of the faulty plant object
Name of the plant area to which the object belongs
Worst process value measured for the faulty plant object
Node (PLC) and driver identification
Name of the user who has acknowledged the alarm

These details are automatically recorded in both the alarm list and the alarm log.
