Add an Event to the SOE Page

You can add a new event to the Sequence of Events (SOE) page. If the new event is not associated with an alarm tag, it will be classified as a user event.

To add an event, you need to be logged on with a user account that has full privileges (that is, privileges from 1 to 8).

To add an event to the SOE page:

1. Right-click on the relevant event and select Add Event.

   The Message dialog will appear. The name of the associated alarm tag (if relevant to the selected event) displays in the dialog title bar (for example, "Message [Alarm_6]").

2. Enter your message in the Enter Message field.

3. Click OK.

The new event will display in the list on the Sequence of Events page (see Alarm Pages).

You can also add events to the event journal page using the SOEEventAdd Cicode function.

Note: If you have installed Plant SCADA on an English operating system and want to add events messages at runtime using a Unicode language (such as Korean, Russian or Chinese), you will need to change the Windows™ Region setting for the runtime computer. To do this, go to Control Panel and open the Region dialog box. On the Administrative tab, use the Change system locale button to select the required system locale. Be aware that you will have to restart your computer. When you launch runtime, select the matching Language on the login form. Your event messages will be recorded using the specified language characters.
