Assign an Alarm to an Alarm Category

To assign a configured alarm to an alarm category, you use the Alarm Category property (see Categorize Alarms).

To do this, you would typically enter a numeric value that represents one of the categories defined in your project. However, you can also enter a label (if one has been associated with a particular category).

If a value is not specified in the Alarm Category field, the default category zero (0) will be used.

To assign an alarm to an alarm category:

1. In the System Model activity, select Alarms.
2. On the menu below the Command Bar, select the required alarm type. The alarms list will display in the Grid Editor.
3. If you would like to update an existing alarm, locate the required record.
4. In the Alarm Category field in the Property Grid, enter a number or label that represents one the categories defined in your project.
5. Click Save.
