Add an Alarm Group subobject

FactoryTalk® Alarms and Events
 objects have subobjects that represent the Alarm Groups configured in the FTAE system. In FactoryTalk Alarms and Events, alarms can be assigned to groups. A group represents a set of alarms with a common association. An alarm group can contain other groups organized in a hierarchy (FTAE only supports to five levels deep).
To add an Alarm Group subobject
  1. In the
    System View
     pane, expand
    HMI
    , expand
    Alarms
    and then click the
    FactoryTalk Alarms and Events
     object to which the subobject will be added.
  2. In the object parameters pane, select the
    Alarm Group
     tab.
  3. Right-click in the white space below the objects shown in the tab. Click
    Add New
    .
    Repeat this step to add all of the Alarm Group that requires configuration.
  4. An alarm group hierarchy is achieved by associating one alarm group to another using the ParentAlarmGroupID parameter.
  5. Click the appropriate column and modify the parameters as needed.
  6. Click
    Apply Changes
     to save the parameter configuration.
