Configure alarm priority mapping for applications

You can configure the alarm priority mapping of an InTouch application to set a priority range for each alarm severity level.

Important: This section describes the workflow within WindowMaker to map alarm priority ranges to alarm severities. While InTouch does not have built-in Alarm Severity management as does Application Server, users can make use of InTouch tags to implement Alarm Border animation. In this case, the priority to severity mapping in the dialog box is used only as a visual aid to associate priorities to alarm border colors and alarm indicator icons. For more information about configuring alarm priority mapping and alarm shelving, see WindowMaker online help or Industrial Graphic Editor User documentation.

Configure alarm priority mappings for applications

1. Open an application in WindowMaker.

2. On the File menu, select Configure, and then select Alarms.

   The Alarm Priority section appears with fields to map a priority range to each alarm severity. This screen also contains fields to enable alarm shelving based on alarm severity.

   

3. In the From Priority and To Priority Range fields, select and enter numbers from 1 to 999 to set the lower and upper boundaries of an alarm priority range for each alarm severity.

   Each priority range should be contiguous without overlap between priority ranges. Alarm severity 1 starts at priority 1 by default.

4. In the Shelve column, select or clear the check box to enable alarm shelving for each alarm severity.

5. Select OK to save your changes.

   Your changes are saved to the application’s application folder.
