Make an active alarm visible
Configure the
Active
property of a graphic object to make an alarm visible at runtime. Dynamically link the Active
variable of the graphic object to the Active
variable of an alarm. At runtime, the appearance of the graphic element changes when the alarm is active. The
Active
variable requires no scripting or NetLogic. For example, you can create a digital alarm and then bind the Active
property of a graphic element, such as an LED, to the Active
variable of a digital or other alarm. The LED lights up at runtime when the alarm reaches its configured limits or state.Prerequisites
