Setting Event Properties for Individual Tags

When you define a tag to do event monitoring, an event message is logged to the alarm system each time the tag's value changes. The event message logs how the value changed. For example, whether the operator, I/O, QuickScripts, or the system initiated the change.

1. Open the Tagname Dictionary.

2. Select an existing tag or create a new tag associated with data that will be recorded as an event.

3. Select Log Events. The Priority box becomes available. The value you enter for the Priority determines the event priority level for the tag.

   

4. In the Priority box, assign a number from 1 to 999 as the event priority. 1 is the highest event priority and 999 the lowest.

5. Click Save.

6. Click Close to close the Tagname Dictionary dialog box.
