Alarm summary
The alarm summary displays the alarm information recorded in the
computer’s memory. The summary is configurable, so you can
determine what and how alarm information is viewed.
The summary can list up to 1,000 alarms. As new alarms occur, they
appear at the top of the list. When the alarm summary becomes full,
one alarm is dropped from the bottom of the list for each new alarm
that appears at the top. Alarms are also dropped when they are out–
of–alarm and acknowledged. When alarms are dropped, they are
removed from memory. When the AlarmOff command is issued, the
contents of the alarm summary are erased.
AlarmOff is just one of the RSView32 commands used with alarms.
For details about this command and others, see Appendix A,
RSView32 commands, or see Help.
In the summary, you can configure each alarm incident to be a
different color. For example, you might choose to configure low
severity alarms as blue, medium severity as yellow, and high severity as
red. When the alarm is displayed, operators can tell an alarm’s severity
at a glance.
Create an alarm summary in the Graphic Display editor or create an
alarm summary file through the Project Manager.
