Alarm query examples

You can submit a query to get all alarms from Area1 and all other alarms within Area1, as reported by the WinPlatform object on the local computer.

\Galaxy!Area1

The query returns all alarms and events from all objects directly contained in Area1 and any sub-areas contained by Area1. This hierarchy is determined by what is configured in the Model View in the IDE.

If Area1 and Area2 are two separate mutually exclusive areas, you can submit a query for alarms from both areas.

\Galaxy!Area1 \Galaxy!Area2

If you're on NodeA and the WinPlatform is on NodeB, you can submit a query for the alarms from the remote computer.

\\NodeB\Galaxy!Area1

You can submit a query for all alarms from objects whose name begins with "Tank" in the TankFarm1 area.

\Galaxy!TankFarm1!Tank*

The trailing wildcard character matches alarms from all objects with names that begin with "Tank" like Tank001, Tank002, TankUpper, or TankLower.

You can submit a query for specific alarm types. For example, you can submit a query for all HiHi alarms in the TankFarm1 area.

\Galaxy!TankFarm1!*.HiHi

You can submit a query for all types of alarms from a specific object within an area.

\Galaxy!TankFarm1!Tank752.*

The trailing wildcard character matches all alarm types for Tank752.
