Create an alarm type

Create and configure a custom alarm type to be able to create instances of the alarm type instead of creating multiple alarms that have different values for the same graphic object. Create custom properties for an alarm type to monitor different values from the different instances of the alarm in the
Alarm grid
.
Prerequisites
  1. (optional) Add a custom property:
    1. With the alarm selected in
      Project view
      , in
      Properties
      , select
      Add
      , and then select
      Variable
      .
      The new property appears.
    2. Enter a name for the property.
    3. Set the data type and enter a value or create a dynamic link to the node with the value.
  2. In
    Type view
    , expand
    Alarms
    .
  3. Drag the alarm object from
    Project view
     into
    Alarms
     in
    Type view
    .
The new alarm type has the suffix
(type)
and appears in
Project view
 in the same folder as the original alarm. The original alarm is now an instance of the new type.
