Alarm List

Alarm List

The alarm list is the full view of what is currently in alarm: one row per alarm, with the columns you choose. Rows are coloured by priority, and the table can be sorted by clicking a column header.

Show filters - shows a filter row beneath the header, so the operator can narrow the list at runtime.

Acknowledge column - shows an Ack button on each row.

Shelve - shows a shelve control. Shelving silences an alarm temporarily without closing it.

Shelve duration - how long a shelved alarm stays shelved, in minutes. The default is 60.

Multi-select - lets the operator select several rows at once, using the checkbox column.

Keyboard navigation - lets the operator move through the rows with the keyboard.

Each column can be shown or hidden independently:

Priority, Time, Name, Message, Category, Area, Equipment, Value, State and the Ack column.

Hiding a column only changes what the operator sees; it does not change what the runtime records.

Every alarm component shares these three properties. They decide which alarms this component shows; they never change the alarms themselves. An empty value means “show all”.

Areas - show only alarms from these areas. Add one entry per area.

Category - show only alarms of this category. The options come from the connector’s own category table, so they cannot drift from the values the filter compares against.

Min priority - show only alarms at or above this priority.

Alarms are raised by the runtime, not by the HMI — see Alarming.

The style properties define the look of the component.

Row height - the height of each row in pixels.

Header height - the height of the header row in pixels.

Each priority - Critical, High, Medium and Low - has its own background and text color. A hex value can be input in one of the formats:

  • #RRGGBB
  • #RRGGBBAA
  • #RGB
  • #RGBA

Where:

  • R=red color component
  • G=green color component
  • B=blue color component
  • A=alpha (transparency) component

Alternatively, the integrated color picker can be used to visually pick a color:

Color picker

Opacity - controls the transparency of the component.

Left - distance from the left edge in pixels

Top - distance from the top edge in pixels

Width - component width in pixels

Height - component height in pixels. The table scrolls when the rows do not fit.

Font size - the size of the text inside the component.
