AlarmLog
Remark
AlarmLogRemark [“Text”] [/P] [/Sn] [/R] [/Ttagname]
Adds the specified text string as a transaction in the alarm log file.
[“Text”] A text string, up to 132 characters long. The text
can contain the following placeholders:
[\D] the current date
[\T] the current time
[\N] the tag name. If the tag is in a local tag
database, you can also use the
placeholders [\S] tag description, and
[\U] tag units.
[/P] Prompts the operator for a remark at runtime by
displaying a dialog box containing a text field. The
operator can type a remark up to 132 characters
long. The remark can also include the placeholders
shown above.
If both the Text parameter and the /P parameter
are specified, the contents of the Text parameter
will appear in the text field at runtime, and the
operator can modify or add to the contents of the
Text parameter before it is logged to the alarm log
file. If the tag name (/T parameter) is specified, the
prompt dialog box will display the tag name at
runtime, but the operator cannot change the tag
name.
[/Sn] Associates an alarm severity with the remark. The
severity is an integer from 1 to 8. This value is
shown in the Severity column of the alarm log file.
If the remark is logged to a printer, the alarm
severity determines which printer will print the
remark.
