Set-up Alarming
Alarming on value lets you set-up actions, such as sending an email or running a report,
based on the value of a meter tag. You can define one or more alarms per meter tag.
Alarms can be set for any tag type, including analog or digital (boolean), device, derived
or manual.
When setting up an alarm, you configure an alarm range. For analog tags, the range is
specified by a high and low value and whether the alarm activates inside or outside of the
range. Digital tag alarms are either equal or not equal. Alarms may also be triggered by
any change in a meter tag value. When an alarm activates, it is displayed in the Active
Alarms page and in the Alarm log. When the alarm clears, it is removed from the Active
Alarms page but remains in the Alarm Log page until purged by the user.
Actions may be configured by the user when the alarm activates, deactivates, or both.
How to Set up Alarms on Value
New alarms are set up from the Meter Setup page. Existing alarm setups can be viewed
and edited from the Alarm Setup folder in the System tab. The user must possess the
applicable privileges to view and edit alarm setups.
