Alarms

An essential component of a visualisation is the recording, display and acknowledgement of alarms of various warning levels (operating errors, messages and notifications) of a machine.

You create the corresponding definitions, which describe which variable triggers an alarm, how the alarm is displayed and what other information the alarm message should contain, in the "Alarms" system module. You can access the system module in the development environment via the Alarms project explorer node.

The»EASY UI Designer« contains two control elements that allow the direct display of pending alarms: AlarmLineCollection (alarm line) and AlarmList (alarm list).

The following sections describe how to

Create alarms,
Display alarms in an alarm line,
Display alarms in an alarm list,
only display alarms of a certain category in a control element.
