15–26 Creating Alarms
Publication 2711-6.0
You can define optional tags that the controller will use to:
•
acknowledge all active alarms
•
clear all alarms in the terminal
These tags affect the alarm displayed in the Alarm Banner and
alarms in the Alarm List.
To define remote tags:
1. Select the Setup tab from the Alarm Setup dialog.
2. Select the Use Optional Fields check box (X in box).
The Remote Tags area of the dialog is made available for editing.
This check box also enables the display of optional tag fields on
the Alarm Triggers tab.
If the Use Optional Fields check box is cleared, the Remote tags and
the optional fields on the Alarm Triggers tab are disabled.
PanelBuilder ignores any data in these fields.
Check this box to enable the Remote
tags in this dialog and optional tags
on the Alarm Triggers tab.
3. Under Remote Tags, enter the tag names that you want the
controller to use to acknowledge or clear all alarms.
To edit the tag definition for each tag, select the tag name and
click the Edit Tag button. The Tag Form dialog opens. Edit the
tag definition and close the dialog.
4. When done, select another tab or click OK to exit dialog.
