Mapping Alarm Modes to Plant States

Define plant states and map them to alarm modes in the IDE. To access the configuration dialog:

1. From the ribbon, select Galaxy, then select Configure.

2. Select Galaxy, then select Alarms. The Alarms page appears.

   Note: Settings in this dialog are not shared across Galaxies in a multi-Galaxy environment. Each Galaxy in the environment will have its own alarms configuration.

To use the default values, you do not have to set anything in this dialog. Simply enable plant state-based alarms for each area object that is to use this feature. See Configuring State-Based Alarming on an Area Object for additional information.

Change Alarm Modes and Modify Plant States

• To change the AlarmMode value, click the AlarmMode associated with the Plant State that you want to change. Then, select the new value (enable, silence, or disable).

  Note: AlarmMode for Running is read-only and cannot be changed.

• To add a new Plant State, Click the Add (+) button. A new row is created at the bottom of the table.

  Enter the Description of the new plant state. The maximum length is 64 characters.

  Select a value for the AlarmMode (enable, silence, or disable).

• To delete an existing Plant State, click the Remove (-) button. The selected plant state and its associated value are removed from the table.

  Note: You cannot delete the first row of the Alarm plant state table. Running is the default PlantState Description in the first row.

• To change the description of an existing PlantState, double click the plant state you want to rename, then enter the new description. The maximum length is 64 characters.

  Note: All Plant States, including Running, can be renamed.
