Alarm Header Information

Name:
field. The alarm name can be constructed of up to 20
alphanumeric characters. Any other characters, including spaces, generate an audible error, or an

The group to which this alarm is added is selected from the
Group:
field. To create a new group
name, simply type the name of the new group in the
Group:
field. The use of alarm groups allows
filtering of alarm messages by group name.
The priority assigned to the alarm is selected from the
Priority:
field.
The
Display Alarm Acknowledge Box
setting determines whether the Acknowledge Alarm dialog is
displayed in runtime when the alarm occurs. The dialog notifies the operator of the alarm condition
and allows the operator to acknowledge the alarm. The default value is
True
.
Activating the
Auto Acknowledge Alarm
setting causes these messages to be acknowledged without
any operator action. Refer to chapter 8, Alarm Acknowledge.
The
Play Sound
setting determines whether an audible warning is sounded when the alarm occurs.
The default value is
False

sound to be heard. The waveform is selected by using the

Settings dialog.

dialog.

when they occur.
Alarm Type
The alarm type can be Simple, Deadband or Rate of Change. Select the desired type by clicking on
the
Simple, Deadband
or
Rate of Change
settings. This field is visible from the Alarm Editor dialog.
