Customize Alarm Pages

The Plant SCADA starter projects generate a set of alarm pages that are designed to support the requirements of a typical control system. This section of the help describes the different ways you can customize these pages to suit the requirements of a particular project.

If required, you can add additional alarm pages to a Plant SCADA project in Graphics Builder. For instructions on how to add a new page to a project, see Create a Graphics Page.

Note: To display a custom alarm page (with a non-standard name), use the PageDisplay function to display the page, followed by the AlarmSetInfo function. You can create a keyboard command or a button to call the page, or add a touch command to an existing screen object.

If your project includes multiple clusters, you may want to visually indicate to an operator the status of alarm data across all clusters (see Confirm that Alarms are Updated for All Clusters).

You can also customize alarm pages in the following ways:

• Adjust the way alarms display on an alarms list (see Format an Alarm Display)

• Customize fonts (see Fonts)

• Adjust the default sort order (see Alarms List Default Sort Order).

It is also possible to define keywords for your alarm tags that allow you to perform customized queries on your alarm data (see Use Custom Alarm Filters).
