Use an Alarm Name to Describe an Alarm Tag

When configuring an alarm, you can use the Alarm Name property to include a description of the alarm. For example, you may include the name of the physical device with which the alarm is associated.

The name you enter can be used to identify an alarm when it is displayed on screen or logged to a device.

To add an Alarm Name to an alarm tag:

  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 Name field displayed in the Property Grid, enter a name that describes the alarm tag.
  5. Click Save.
