Description

Addr / Tag

Assign a tag or an address for the alarm. Press the (blue star) button to assign the detailed device address or browse the tags.

Tag Operation

Configure the alarm condition and its reference value. There are 3 operators to be utilized as a condition: >, =, <. The tag value compared to the ‘Ref. Value’ will cause an alarm according to the condition.

Alarm Description

Enter the alarm description that will be displayed when the alarm is on. If the ‘Using String Table’ option is selected in the [Alarm Configuration] window, you can assign the value in the String Table group.

RTL

RTL (Right-to-left) language means the character writing starts from the right of the text field and continues to the left. Arabic or and Hebrew are the most widely used RTL languages. English and numeral characters do not follow the ‘RTL’ option.

※ This option is supported in XpanelDesigner 2.53 and above versions.

Action Option On Alarm

 

 

Assign an action when the alarm occurs. You may select ‘Opens Page’ or ‘Command Script’.

Opens Page

When an alarm occurs, a page added to the ‘Execute’ field will be opened. It is not necessary to use commands such as PageOpen(). You may manually enter the page name (with or without the file extension) or press the [File] button to select the page file. Only one page can be registered in this field.

Command Script

When an alarm occurs, a command script used in the ‘Execute’ field will be executed. You can assign the priority of the command from 1 (lowest priority) to 10 (highest priority). Press the [Addr] or [Tag] button to use the address or tag as the command’s parameter. If you are editing multiple lines of command script on Microsoft Excel, an error may be caused by the line alignment process. It is recommended to use simple command scripts.

Execute Command by Alarm Off

Enter the command to be executed on the Alarm Off. If you are editing multiple lines of command script on Microsoft Excel, an error may be caused by the line alignment process. It is recommended to use simple command scripts.

Execute Command by Alarm Ack.

Enter the command to be executed on the Alarm Acknowledgment. If you are editing multiple lines of command script on Microsoft Excel, an error may be caused by the line alignment.

Interest Tag Registration

You can check the values of the tags registered as an ‘Interest Tag’. This feature operates with the alarm summary object. You may register a maximum of 20 tags. Add the tag or address by pressing the [Tag] or [Addr] button.

Up/Down/Del

Moves the selected interest tag one step upward/downward. Or you can delete the selected interest tag from the list.

Apply Interest Tag in Group

Decides whether to apply the interest tag list to the other alarms in the current alarm group or not.

There are 3 options: ‘Do Not Apply’, ‘Overwrite’, and ‘Add Interest Tag’.

The ‘Do Not Apply’ option only applies the interest tags to the current alarm.

The ‘Overwrite’ option erases the other alarms’ interest tags and applies the current alarm’s interest tags in the same alarm group.

The ‘Add Interest Tag’ option adds the current alarm’s interest tag list to the other alarms in the same group.

Alarm Level

Sets the alarm level of the current alarm. You can set the level from 0 to 7.  Each level can be assigned with different colors for the alarm summary and the scroll message.

Apply Scroll Messages

Displays the scroll message when an alarm occurs. Since this feature is applied to the all pages in the project, it is not necessary to check the alarm summary for the contents.

※ Please refer to the “Xpanel Configuration” Xpanel Configuration manual for more information.

Release Scroll Message at ACK

When you select this option, the scroll message will be removed when the corresponding alarm is acknowledged.
