FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix Software Alarm Setup Chapter 8
Overview of Alarms
FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix alarms operate on events or conditions. You can define one or more alarms per meter tag. When
alarms occur, they are displayed in an alarm summary page and entered into an alarm log. You can send emails or run reports
when alarms are triggered.
When configuring an alarm, you can specify an analog or digital trigger.
• Analog triggers have a high and low threshold value that can activate an alarm inside or outside the threshold value
range.
• Digital triggers are either equal or not equal. Digital alarms may also be triggered by any change in a meter tag value.
Configure an Analog Alarm
Follow these steps to configure an analog alarm.
1. Click the Meters tab and navigate to the meter you want to assign an alarm.
For this example, assign the alarm to the Electric Main Meter under the Electricity group.
2. Click the Meter Setup tab.
3. Click the Add a new alarm link.
