Set up alarm banners
The alarm banner graphic object shows a single unacknowledged alarm message. For
example, the banner could show a message that warns the operator that the pressure in a
boiler is too high.
The [ALARM] display and the [ALARM BANNER] graphic library both contain an
alarm banner object. You can use the displays and objects as is, customize them, or create
your own.
For more information about using alarm banners, see page 9-34.
