Configure Alarm Parameters for a Specific Cluster or Process

Plant SCADA allows you to configure some alarm parameters for a specific cluster or alarm server process. This is defined in a Citect.ini file using the following syntax.

To define alarm parameters for a specific cluster:

[Alarm.<Cluster Name>]
<Parameter Name>

To define alarm parameters for a specific server process:

[Alarm.<Cluster Name>.<Server Name>]
<Parameter Name>

For example:

[Alarm.Cluster1.AlarmServer1]

Clusters = Cluster1

CPU = 0

An alarm parameter can also be defined on a client computer or a server computer, depending on the functionality it supports. This means there are five different ways you can use alarm parameters in a Citect.ini file:

1. For all clusters and server processes in the general [Alarm] section.

2. For all alarms in a specific cluster in the [Alarm.<ClusterName>] section.

3. For a specific server process in the [Alarm.<ClusterName>.<ServerName>] section.

4. On a client computer.

5. On a server computer.

The following table lists Plant SCADA's alarm parameters and indicates the different ways each can be used.
