Graphic objects and displays
You can customize graphic displays to show specific information
about alarms. RSView32 makes all alarm status information available
to graphic displays through a set of system tags (see below). Use these
tags with numeric and string display objects. Attach visibility and color
animation to affect the appearance of the objects.
The Alarm Information graphic library contains graphic objects you
can drag and drop into your display. For example, to include an alarm
banner in a display, drag and drop the banner from the Alarm
Information graphic library. Use the graphic objects as they are or edit
them to suit your needs.
Alarm system tags
System tags are created and updated by RSView32. You can use these
tags anywhere a tag name is required. The system tags for alarms are:
This tag Type Displays this information
system\AlarmBanner String The most recent, most severe alarm. If an
alarm of an equal or higher severity occurs, it
replaces the first alarm, whether or not the
previous alarm has been acknowledged.
system\AlarmMostRecentDate String The date of the most recent, most severe
alarm.
system\AlarmMostRecentLabel String The threshold label of the tag of the most
recent, most severe alarm.

system\AlarmMostRecentTagDesc String The description of the tag of the most recent,
most severe alarm.

severe alarm.
