The WarningLevel Object

WarningLevel is a status icon that can show the summarized warning level for a
process object. It will show the top priority warning for the signals in a process
object. When cleared the next warning in priority order will be displayed.

If there is more than one warning for a signal, the top priority warning level will be
displayed. The same is valid when a summarized warning level is shown for the
signals in a process object. See

.

The AlarmWarning Combo Object

AlarmWarningCombo is a status icon that can show both alarm and/or warning
information for a process object.

The icon can show the summarized alarm status. When there are more than one
alarm for the signals in a process object, the top priority alarm state is displayed,
and/or a summarized warning level. When there are more than one warning for the
signals in a process object, the top priority warning is displayed for the process
object.

The AlarmWarning Combo is for example used in PLC Connect Faceplates. See
