4.11 Startup View
The Startup View screen is accessed from the Startup menu and allows the user or OEM to define which of the
main view screens the runtime application will display when it first starts
and when the “Home” icon is pressed.
The available selections are Loop View, All View, Chart View, Alarm View and Alarm Log.
NOTE: If the selected screen to view on startup is disabled in the MCTB functions list, the screen will only be
available when the “Home” icon is pressed.
4.12 Alarm Names
The Alarm Names screen is accessed from the Tagnames menu and allows the user or OEM to edit the name
(alarm message) of all configured alarms. In order to access the screen, there must be at least one loop control
output configured as an alarm, one soft alarm programmed or the limit control installed.
The alarms will be listed in sequential order starting with any outputs programmed as an alarm on loop 1 through
loop 3 and/or the limit, and then soft alarms. The default alarm names are ALM#1, 2, 3, etc. To assist in
identifying which device/output the alarm is assigned to, the list includes the alarm source. The alarm names
will be displayed in the runtime application as the alarm description on the Alarm screen. To change the name
of an alarm, select the alarm from the list and enter the desired text up to 25 characters.
