Associated Tags | Specify up to four tags that contain pertinent data when alarm conditions occur. A snapshot of the values in these tags is stored whenever the In condition changes to the In Alarm state or other alarm state changes occur. The stored values are transmitted to the alarm subscribers. The stored values may also be embedded in the alarm message. Associated tags are any atomic data type (BOOL, DINT, INT, SINT, LINT, or REAL) or a STRING. They may be elements in a UDT or an Array. Variable array references are not allowed. If the alarm is controller-scoped, the associated tags must also be controller-scoped. Specify associated tags by typing the tag name directly, choosing an existing tag from the list, or using New Tag... . |
Status Pane | The Status pane shows the alarm state. Acknowledge all alarms, and disable or enable an alarm. All Acknowledged, Any Shelved, Disabled, and Suppressed indicators are blue when true (meaning all alarms were acknowledged, at least one alarm is shelved, all alarms were disabled, and at least one alarm is suppressed, respectively). Also includes execution order when viewed from a Function Block Diagram. |
