Browsing alarm sources
In the tree view on the left side of the alarm status explorer, expand folders representing
the application, and areas in the application, to find alarm sources.
If the selected area or sub-area contains alarms, the alarms will show in the alarm list on
the right side of the explorer.
Refreshing the alarm list
If alarms are added or deleted after the alarm status explorer is opened, the alarm list is not
updated dynamically.
To show the most recent list of alarms and their current states, on the alarm status
explorer’s toolbar, click Refresh alarm list.
Viewing alarm details
To view details for the selected alarm, on the alarm status explorer’s toolbar, click View
details (or right-click the alarm, and then select View Alarm Details).
The Alarm Details dialog box (shown in the following illustration) shows the last time an
alarm was disabled or enabled, and suppressed or unsuppressed, and by whom. You can
also view information about the most recent alarm condition, and the priority and severity
associated with the alarm.
At run time, you can also open a stand-alone Alarm Status Explorer, by clicking the Display the
Alarm Status Explorer button in the alarm and event summary toolbar. For details, see the
FactoryTalk Alarms and Events Help.
