Alarm and Alarm Client Control

The UDT member of an instance supports alarms in the same manner as other InTouch tags. You can update the alarm properties of a member in the Properties grid. In WindowViewer, you can view the members of an instance that are generating alarms and display them in an Alarm Client Control.

Example: Configure an alarm for a UDT member

1. In User defined type view, select $GenericSensorType > Output member.

   

2. In the Properties grid, update the alarm properties for this tag as shown in the following illustration.

   

The alarm properties are then propagated down to the UDT instance level. The following UDT members can have alarms configured as shown in the preceding example.

• BatchPlant.Silo1.Silo1LevelIndicator.Output

• BatchPlant.Silo2.Silo2LevelIndicator.Output

• BatchPlant.Silo3.Silo3LevelIndicator.Output
