Alarm Viewer
To view, acknowledge and/or clear alarms, the operator must access the alarm viewer. This is
accomplished by touching an (enabled) alarm object. When accessed, the alarm viewer is
displayed as pop-up alarm viewer dialog similar to that shown in Figure 13.6.

Alarm Viewer
The currently selected entry is indicated by a yellow highlight which can be moved up or down
by touching the arrow buttons or by directly touching an entry. If more entries exist than can
fit on the page, a scroll bar is displayed on the right side that also indicates the current relative
position.
The current state of the displayed alarm is indicated by its color and optionally by an
abbreviated indicator after the date/time stamp (ALM, ACK, RTN). The operator can
acknowledge an alarm by selecting it from the list and touching the ACK button. The operator
can also clear an alarm if that function is enabled in the alarm object. If not enabled, the Clear
buttons are grayed and do not respond to touch. Once view operations are complete, simply
touch the
Esc
button to remove the pop-up alarm viewer.
NOTE: OCS register %SR181 is reserved for unacknowledged alarms, and %SR182 is available
for ladder use, which indicate presence of unacknowledged or acknowledged alarm
(respectively) active alarms. The screen designer may implement these registers to switch
screens or activate the beeper to attract the operator’s attention.
