ALARM MONITORING, PRESENTATION AND NOTIFICATION
SuperView can monitor the value read from any physical tab, comparing it to the limits set. If the tag exceeds the
determined limits, the following actions can be defined:
• The computer emits a configurable sound.
• A notification e-mail is sent (depends on an adequate setting of the service and on the availability of an e-mail
server in the corporate network environment. See “Configuring the e-mail server”).
• The value of a tag is changed. It allows an alarm event condition to result in an automatic action, as changing a
parameter in a device in the network, or changing the value of a constant tag (for example, used to define the
display of an image on the screen or not)
The following alarm conditions can be simultaneously monitored for each tag in the application:
• Low value
• Low low value
• High value
• High high value • The difference as compared to another tag is too high
• The difference above the value of another tag is too high
• The difference below the value of another tag is too high
The following settings are required for the use of alarms monitoring:
• Create alarm groups
• Define the alarm parameters for each tag
• Include in one of the application forms an object of the type Alarm Table –
CREATING ALARM GROUPS
