Basic SQC alarm attributes

Enter the basic attributes used to identify the SQC alarm point:

• Server: The Data Archive server where the alarm point is defined and stored. This attribute may not be changed once the alarm point is created.

• SQC Alarm Tag Name: The tag name for the SQC alarm point. This attribute may not be changed once the alarm point is created.

• Description: A functional description of the alarm which is used for the descriptor attribute of the alarm point.

• Alarm Group: Select a group if you want to associate the new SQC alarm with an existing PI alarm group on the server.

• Clear on Subsystem Startup: Select to clear existing alarm calculations on startup. When not selected, the subsystem seeds alarm calculations with archive values from the source point.

• Clear on Control Limit Change: Select to start calculations when limit point values are changed. When not selected, the alarm retains the existing pattern test buffers.

• Auto-Acknowledge: Select to automatically acknowledge alarms.

• SQC Alarm Priority: Specify an SQC alarm priority when not using the Auto-Acknowledge feature.

  Note: If the Auto-Acknowledge check box is selected, the SQC Alarm Priority property is set to 0 and SQC Alarm Priority is disabled.
