Parameters for the command let you add a text comment, the alarm severity, and the tag
name to the alarm log file. Other parameters let you prompt the operator for the text part
of the remark, and log the remark to a printer, in addition to the alarm log file.
You cannot show alarm log remarks in HMI tag alarm summaries.
At run time, only one Alarm Log Remark dialog box opens at a time, and the operator
must respond to the dialog box before the next one is opened. For details about using
AlarmLogRemark, see the FactoryTalk View Site Edition Help.
Suppressing alarm logging
You can suppress alarm monitoring for specified HMI tags. This is useful for testing or
performing repairs or maintenance on equipment.
To suppress alarm monitoring, use the SuppressOn command. To suppress all alarms for
the specified tags, run the SuppressOn command before the AlarmOn command. For
details about using these commands, see the FactoryTalk View Site Edition Help.
Use the Suppressed List to see which tags are not being monitored for alarms, and to turn
alarm monitoring back on.
To open the Suppressed List
1. In FactoryTalk View Studio or the FactoryTalk View SE Administration Console, in
the Explorer window, open the HMI Tag Alarms folder.
2. Right-click the Suppressed List icon, and then select Open.
You can also double-click the Suppressed List icon, or drag the icon into the
FactoryTalk View Studio workspace.
Alarm logging must be turned on before you can use the AlarmLogRemark command. To start
alarm logging, run the AlarmLogOn command. For details, see the FactoryTalk View Site Edition
Help.
To prompt the operator to type
a remark for the alarm log file,
use the /P parameter with the
AlarmLogRemark command.
