Alarm configuration is done in the HMI Alarm and Fault Selection view. Any visible events can be elevated to an alarm or priority alarm. An alarm configuration text can also be added to describe the alarm context.

Events can be grouped into a fault (group of selected events) on the LHMI and WHMI event list. Grouping of events as a fault starts when any of the events selected in the Fault column is activated and ends when all the events selected in the Fault column are deactivated.

The group of selected events is shown as a Fault Events row on the event list. Each event is visible by expanding this row.

Browse the HMI Alarm and Fault Selection view to find the event to be configured as an alarm.

The event rows in the data grid view have more detailed description in the tool tip.
Select or clear the check box in the Alarm column to elevate an event to an alarm.

The event is visible as an alarm on both LHMI and WHMI only when the check box is selected.
Select or clear the check box in the Priority column to elevate an event to a priority alarm.

When the check box is selected, the event is visible as a priority alarm on both LHMI and WHMI. The priority alarm is always the topmost in the alarm list. If the check box is cleared, the event is visible as a normal alarm on both LHMI and WHMI if the alarm check box is selected.
Select or clear the check box in the Fault column to create an event group on the HMI event list.

When the check box is selected, the event in question (if activated) is included in a fault.
In the Alarm Configuration Text column, write some text to describe an alarm context.

Note: The alarm configuration text can be specified only if an event is elevated to an alarm.

Tip: Select the check box in the column header of a column in the data grid view to modify the alarm configuration, priority or fault selection of all events.
