8.3.3 Alarm classes
Alarm classes are used for the general description of certain alarm criteria, such as
how to handle acknowledgements (confirmation of an alarm by the user), which
actions should automatically run as soon as a particular alarm state has been detected
and which colors and bitmaps are to be used for a visualization of an Alarm table.
Alarm classes are defined globally in the Alarm configuration and are then available as
a base configuration when configuring alarm groups.
Configuration of alarm classes:
Select entry 'Alarm classes' in the alarm configuration tree. The configuration dialog
'Alarm classes' gets opened:
Configuration dialog 'Alarm classes'
Press button Add in order to create a new alarm class. Thereupon in the upper window
a line will be inserted, primarily only with an entry "NOACK" (no acknowledgement) in
the 'Acknowledgement' column. Define a name for the alarm class in the
corresponding field in the Name column (open an edit frame by a mouse-click on the
field) and if necessary modify the acknowledgement type in column
Acknowledgement.
