Add a Digital Alarm

Digital alarms activate in response to the state of one or two digital variables. The alarm becomes active when the triggering condition spans the duration of a specified delay period.

To add a digital alarm:

  1. In the System Model activity, select Alarms.
  2. On the menu below the Command Bar, select Digital Alarms.
  3. Add a row to the Grid Editor.
  4. Type the required information in each column, or in the Property Grid (see below for a description of the properties).
  5. Click Save.

Note: Configure the [Alarm]UseConfigLimits parameter to force the Citect SCADA alarms server to use digital alarm property values from the RDB, rather than using the values which may be stored in the database file.

Digital Alarms Properties

Note: If an alarm was generated by the Equipment Editor, a number of fields on the properties form will be shaded. To configure these fields, you will need to use Equipment Editor (see Use Equipment Editor to Configure Alarms).
