Set up alarm lists
The alarm list graphic object shows a list of alarms from the alarm log file. It can show all
the alarms in the alarm log file, or any combination of active, inactive, acknowledged, and
unacknowledged alarms. It can also show the alarms for specific alarm triggers.
You can assign a tag or expression to the ActiveAcknowledged, ActiveUnacknowledged,
InactiveAcknowledged, or InactiveUnacknowledged connections, to allow the data source
to control the type of alarms to show in the list. When one of the connection’s values is a
non-zero value, the related type of alarm is shown in the alarm list. The connection value
overrides the setting for the list in the Alarm List Properties dialog box.
FactoryTalk View comes with two graphic displays, [ALARM MULTI-LINE] and
[HISTORY], that contain alarm list objects. The [HISTORY] display comes in two sizes.
These displays are in the graphic library. You can copy the library displays into your
application and use the displays and objects as is, customize them, or create your own.
For more information about using alarm lists, see page 9-32. For information about the
alarm log file, see page 9-10.
