Alarm Acknowledge
In the Acknowledge Bit field, type the name of the tag that refers
to the acknowledge bit’s address. When the operator acknowledges
the alarm, the acknowledge bit is set to 1 and RSView32 logs an
alarm acknowledgment.
When another RSView32 station detects the acknowledge bit
changing from 0 to 1, the RSView32 station acknowledges all tags
associated with this acknowledge bit and RSView32 logs a remote
acknowledgment to the alarm log file. The bit is set only once per
acknowledgment.
To have the acknowledge bit automatically reset (set back to 0)
when the tag goes back into alarm, check the Auto Reset box.
Otherwise the programmable controller must reset the bit.
For more information, see “Acknowledge bit (globally
acknowledging alarms)” on page 6-17.
Alarm Handshake
In the Handshake Bit field, type the name of the tag that refers to
the handshake bit’s address. When a tag goes into alarm, the
handshake bit is set to 1.
To have the handshake bit automatically reset (set back to 0) when
the tag goes out of alarm, check the Auto Reset box. Otherwise the
programmable controller must reset the bit.
The bit cannot be reset automatically for tags with a change of
state alarm type (Any Change, Changes to On, or Changes to Off).
For more information, see “Handshake bit” on page 6-18.
