Overview
Configure an alarm control, as in the device-specific configuration in a HMI device screen. In order that the alarm control can display the alarms of the plant objects, assign the plant hierarchy to your HMI device.
To directly jump to the alarms of the plant objects in runtime, configure the alarm control is companion control to the "Plant overview" control.
To filter by plant object alarms in the alarm control, configure a filter with the criterion "Area" with one of the following two conditions:
-
"Equal" - only shows the alarms of the selected plant object in runtime.
-
"Begins with" - shows the alarms of the underlying objects of the selected plant object in runtime.
Configuring a filter for plant objects
To filter by plant object alarms in the alarm control, configure a filter as follows:
-
In the Inspector window under "Properties > Filter", click in the "Static value" column.
The "Alarm filter configuration" dialog opens.
-
Select the "Area" criteria.
-
Select the condition "Equal"
-
Click on the selection list in the "Operand" column.
-
Select the plant object whose alarms you want to display in runtime.
|
Note You can also create filter criteria directly in runtime and use them as filters. |
Result
Alarms for the selected plant object are displayed in runtime.
