About the Identify button
With the Identify button, you can specify a command or macro that
operators can run when a tag is in alarm. Use this button to provide
information about an alarm. For example, use the Display command
to open a display that contains instructions on how to handle a motor
that is running too fast.
To set up the Identify button, specify a command or macro in the
Alarm Identification field in the Advanced tab of the Analog Alarm
editor or Digital Alarm editor. For details about setting up Identify for
analog tags, see “Advanced” on page 6-46. For details about setting up
Identify for digital tags, see “Advanced” on page 6-51.
To run the Identify command, you can highlight the alarm in the
alarm summary and then click the Identify button, or type the Identify
command on a command line. When you use the Identify command,
the command or macro runs whether or not the tag is in alarm.
For detailed information about the Identify command and other
RSView32 commands, see Appendix A, RSView32 commands, or see
Help.
For detailed information about macros, see Chapter 15, Setting up
navigation.
Alarm expressions
When a tag goes into alarm, certain information about the alarm is
recorded in the value table along with the tag’s value. Using
expressions, information about alarms can be retrieved on a tag–by–
tag basis.
