Silencing a Controller Alarm
When a Warning- or Error-level event occurs, an audible alarm is triggered on the controller. You can
silence the alarm on your local system while you fix the problem.
To silence the alarm:
1. In the Enterprise View, select the controller.
2. On the ribbon, in the Controller group, click Silence Alarm.
Disabling a Controller Alarm
Warning- or Error-level events trigger an audible alarm on a controller, which sounds until the event is
resolved. The alarm is enabled by default, but can be disabled, if required.
Caution: If you disable the alarm, no audible signal will sound when an error occurs
on the controller.
To disable a controller's alarm:
1. In the Enterprise View, select a controller.
2. On the ribbon, in the Controller group, click Set Properties.
