Optional Alarm Configuration
Specify severity by setting the AlmSeverityList attribute.
To specify the alarm text, change the AlmHelp attribute. Different texts can be specified for each sub-condition by adding new texts to the AlmHelp attribute, separated by a semicolon. If no text is given, automatically generated text is sent to clients. If only one set of text is given, it'll be used for all sub-conditions. If more than one text is given they must be positioned in the AlmHelp string as follows:
| Event category | Sub condition | AlmHelp text position (1 based) |
|---|---|---|
| Discrete | Not normal | 2 |
| Discrete | Normal | 1 |
| Level | LoLo | 5 |
| Level | Lo | 4 |
| Level | Hi | 3 |
| Level | HiHi | 2 |
| Level | Normal | 1 |
| Watchdog | Frozen | 2 |
| Watchdog | Updating | 1 |
| WatchQuality | Good | 3 |
| WatchQuality | Uncertain | 2 |
| WatchQuality | Bad | 1 |
Events can be delayed for a certain amount of ScanPeriods by setting the AlmActiveDelayPeriods attribute. You might need to add this attribute to your items the same way you added the AlarmAreaEvtCatregory attribute. If the conditions becomes inactive within the delay, no event will be issued.
