Define alarm conditions
After you create a Tag Alarm and Event Server, you define the conditions that will
trigger alarms at run time.
This example shows how to create a digital alarm in a Tag Alarm and Event Server.
1. In the Explorer window, expand the TagAE server, and then double-click Alarm
and Event Setup.
2. In the Alarm and Event Setup dialog box, click the New button on the toolbar,
and then click Digital.
3. In the Digital Alarm Properties dialog box, type a name for the alarm. In this
example we used Valve1FTO.
4. To select an Input Tag for the alarm, click the browse button, and then expand the
folder folder tree until you can select the online tag you plan to monitor.
