Add Alarm History Faceplate
The ME Alarm History Faceplate files let you quickly load and configure a pre-configured Alarm History
display or faceplate for FactoryTalk View Machine Edition software. The Alarm History Faceplate works in
conjunction with the individual ME_ArmorStart_Faceplates, ME_PowerFlex_Faceplates/AOIs,
ME_Kinetix_Faceplates/AOIs, and ME_E3 Plus_Faceplates/AOIs, and provides an Alarm History of all of
the device alarms and warnings that are configured to its alarm triggers. The Alarm History Faceplate files
include pre-configured alarm triggers and messages for the ArmorStart devices, Kinetix Motion Axis, and E3
Plus Overload Relay family of devices.
In this example, an Alarm History Faceplate is displaying alarms/faults from ArmorStart devices (Motor 1
and Motor 2). The pre-configured alarm messages include an embedded string tag that is updated by the
individual ArmorStart faceplate AOI files when their specific alarms are triggered.
