Alarm Light

The alarm light object is a text object used to draw the operator’s attention to an alarm that may not have a numerical equivalent (for example, LOW FIRE CHECK).

When the alarm is inactive, the text is barely visible so as to not draw the operator’s attention to the text, but still makes the operator aware that there is an alarm associated with a piece of equipment. If the alarm is triggered, the visibility will be forced to "on".

Configuration Tasks

• Add Equipment Using Equipment Editor: Create equipment instances for the required objects, and organize the equipment in a hierarchy. Objects can be referred to by their name when you add Composite Genies to a graphics page. You can add one or more instances of an equipment to a page.

• Configure PLC Limits with Equipment: This is an optional task that is required if you want to use PLC alarm limits instead of the standard analog alarm limits.

• Insert a Composite Genie: Create graphics pages with instances of Composite Genies that are associated with the equipment you have defined in your project.

• Create a New Faceplate: Add a Faceplates for the equipment to allow operators to engage with the equipment at runtime.

• Write Cicode functions to initialize PR and OR values. Refer to the Cicode Reference documentation for more information.
