Creating an Alarm Band
The Alarm Band provides an overview indication of the status of Alarm and Event
Lists selected for display. The number of alarms or events are given in figures in the
indicating squares and their highest priority are indicated with the defined color. The
operator can use an alarm band button to call the list aspect.
Create the Alarm Band as described below:
1. Expand the Functional Structure and select the Test object.
2. Create an Alarm Band aspect and open its Config View, see Figure 66.
3. Add the Alarm and Event List aspects that are to be included in the Main View
of the Alarm Band. This must be an aspect with process alarm configuration
(not event configuration).
4. Select Show Caption if you want to have a caption above the alarm button in
the Alarm Band.
In the Caption Format text area you can type your own caption.
If you leave it empty the object name will appear by default.
In the Alarm Text Format text area you can enter your own text, which will be
displayed in the Alarm Band button. If you leave it empty the total number of
unacknowledged alarms will be displayed by default.
5. Select Use Active Alarms to use the active alarms. If the box is selected, you
have to type %3 in the Alarm Text Format text area.
6. In the Button width and height text areas you can define the size of the
Alarm Band button in pixels.
7. Click Apply.
