Message table

Message records are used to configure the appearance and message text that is applied to states and alarms viewed in easy eXtended Operator Station (ezXOS). Message records are located in the Message Set table.

The application code that generates an alarm manages all aspects of system alarm presentation, you have no control over the way these alarms appear. Database alarm presentation, however, is more flexible. For each record, telemetry tables (for example, analog, rate, status) can be configured individually for the following:

• The severity assigned to the alarms

• The message text applied to a state

• The color of the record in any given state

In addition, alarm/event inhibiting allows you to decide whether or not the record generates alarms and events.

The system Administrator level of access allows configuration of ezXOS colors in alarm summary displays and the annunciation of alarms.
