7. In the Expression Editor, the AE_InAlmUnackedCount( ) function appears in
the Expression box, with the cursor between the parentheses. Next, type “*” to
return a count of all alarms that are in the same location (area) as the HMI server
and are in the In Alarm and Unacknowledged state. Next, move the cursor to the
right of the closing parenthesis.
To count the number of instances of a specific alarm, you can type a tag name
instead of the asterisk.
To include alarms from other areas, use the absolute path syntax. For example,
(“/AreaName::*”).
8. Click Relational and then click > GT for greater than.
9. In the Expression box, type 0, click If and then click Then to add a THEN
condition.
This completes the IF condition: “If the number of In Alarm, Unacknowledged
alarms is greater than 0 . . .”
