You can add alarms to a project that allow specific conditions to be brought to an operator's attention at runtime (see Alarms).
There are two ways to add configured alarms to a Plant SCADA project:
-
Use Equipment Editor to generate alarms that are a part of the hierarchical architecture defined for the equipment in your system (see Use Equipment Editor to Configure Alarms)
-
Using the System Model activity in Plant SCADA Studio to add defined alarms (see Use Plant SCADA Studio to Configure Alarms).
Note: Some configuration changes to an existing alarm may have implications for the runtime system.For example, you might change an alarm to a different alarm type or change the equipment.item that the alarm uses. For more information on how to manage these changes, see Reconfigure Existing Alarms.
