• By using the Hot Key CTRL+SHIFT+Q (all active alarms will be
acknowledged).
Alarm Band
The Alarm Band provides a link to the Alarm List Display. The number within the
band represents the number of unacknowledged alarms. The color of the band
represent the highest priority alarm present. Click on the Alarm Band (button) to go
to the Alarm List
A red cross over the Alarm Band indicates that the alarm band does not have contact
with any server. If the cross is orange some server providing alarms is not
accessible.
If the button looks like in the figure above ( Figure 66 ), the alarm band has lost
contact with some server (partial connected). In this case it is still possible to for
example make acknowledge.
System Alarms
System Alarms are alarms generated from the Compact HMI 800 System, such as
network problems, file system errors or server errors. In many cases these alarms
need to be taken care of by your system administrator. There are several ways to
access the System Alarm List for an object. The following are some typical
examples:
• from the System Alarms button in the Tool Bar
• from an Alarm Line in the Application Bar using the context menu
To be allowed to acknowledge an alarm you need to be granted permission for
this operation. Default permission to acknowledge is Operate.
