Help Contents

Introduction

The Analog Level Alarm Tag is a 4-limit analog alarm with high-high, high, low and low-low alarm limits.

Configuration Properties

The Analog Level Alarm Tag supports the configuration properties of the Data Point Alarm Tag plus these properties:

Property Type Version Description
SourceTag Reference 1.5 The source tag for this alarm.
Deadband LREAL 1.5 The deadband applied to each alarm limit to avoid alarm jitter.
HighHighLimit LREAL 3.12 The High-High alarm limit. When the source tag value is greater than or equal to this value, a High-High alarm is raised.
HighHighMessage STRING 3.12 The text to display for the High-High alarm.
HighHighSeverity UINT 3.12 The severity of the High-High alarm. A value of zero disables the high-high alarm limit.
HighLimit LREAL 1.5 The High alarm limit. When the source tag value is greater than or equal to this value, a High alarm is raised.
HighMessage STRING 1.5 The text to display for the High alarm.
HighSeverity UINT 1.5 The severity of the High alarm. A value of zero disables the high alarm limit.
NormalSeverity UINT 3.26 The severity of the analog level alarm in the normal state.
LowLimit LREAL 1.5 The Low alarm limit. When the source tag value is less than or equal to this value, a Low alarm is raised.
LowMessage STRING 1.5 The text to display for the Low alarm.
LowSeverity UINT 1.5 The severity of the Low alarm. A value of zero disables the low alarm limit.
LowLowLimit LREAL 3.12 The Low-Low alarm limit. When the source tag value is less than or equal to this value, a Low-Low alarm is raised.
LowLowMessage STRING 3.12 The text to display for the Low-Low alarm.
LowLowSeverity UINT 3.12 The severity of the Low-Low alarm. A value of zero disables the low-low alarm limit.

Data Properties

The Analog Level Alarm Tag supports these data properties:

Property Type Version Description
