Showing events in the Alarm List

Enabling alarm on event

When new events are defined, it is possible to enable the Alarm on event check box. This means that the event will appear both in the Event List and in the Alarm List. The operator will thus see the number of alarms change in the Alarm Icon and see the alarm in the list.

Viewing events in the Alarm List

The alarm will be shown as alarm number 90. The alarm text will be the event name. The alarm properties including alarm and acknowledgment colors are taken from alarm number 90. If required, the alarm properties can be changed in the Definition program.

This example shows a number of events at the top of the Alarm List.

Acknowledging event alarms

From the Alarm List the operator can acknowledge the alarm. Once acknowledged, the alarm is also ended and is archived in the Alarm Log.
