7.12.2 Create an Alarm Condition
To generate alarms from data points, intrinsic reporting is used. For each data point an
alarm condition must be defined. This condition employs an intrinsic algorithm to generate
alarms based on the data point’s value or by evaluating a feedback value. Depending on the
data point type (analog, binary, multi-state), different conditions are defined. The alarm is
reported to the attached alarm server.
To Create an Intrinsic Alarm Condition

Select a data point.

Right-click and select

variable placeholders to this message by selecting one from the drop-down box
