Configuring alarm messages
Alarm messages report information about alarms. There are several
types of messages. You can define the content of each message or you
can use the system defaults.

Alarm messages appear in the description field of the alarm log file
only. You cannot display them in alarm summaries.
Types of messages
The types of messages are:
In alarm message: generated when an analog tag’s alarm threshold
has been crossed or when a digital tag has changed state
Out of alarm message: generated when a tag is no longer in alarm
Acknowledged message: generated when an alarm has been
acknowledged
Defining the content of the message
When defining the content of a message, use any combination of
system default messages, user default messages, and custom messages.
System default messages
The system default messages are a series of placeholders. At runtime,
these placeholders are replaced with information about the alarm that
has been triggered.
