AE_Enable

Enables one or more alarms.
Syntax
AE_Enable
<alarm_source>
[/P]
where
<alarm_source>
 can be one of the following depending on the alarm source type:
  • To specify the alarm source by alarm ID, it's an absolute path to one or more alarms.
    You can also click the
    Browse
     button to select alarms.
  • To specify the alarm source by alarm object name, it's the alarm summary or alarm banner name from the same display. This command will run for any selected alarms on the alarm summary or alarm banner object.
    You must manually enter the alarm object name.
[/P]
 opens a dialog box that lets you enter a comment when the command is run.
Remarks
This command is run on the
FactoryTalk View SE
 Client or
FactoryTalk View Studio
 that issued it. It is ignored when it is issued from an HMI Server.
If you want this command to run for the selected alarms on the Alarm and Event Banner object, you must select the
Maintain selection when focus is lost
 check box on the
General
 tab of the
Alarm and Event Banner Properties
 dialog box.
Use the following general syntax guidelines when using the Alarm and Event commands:
  • Separate multiple alarms with a semicolon (;), for example,
    "/Area1:FTAEServer::Alarm1;/Area1:FTAEServer::Alarm2"
    .
  • Use the wildcard asterisk character (*) to specify all alarms that are in the same location such as an alarm group, an area, or a Tag Alarm and Event server, for example,
    "/Area1:FTAEServer::*"
    .
  • By default, the alarm path includes the alarm group or alarm server when browsing alarms. Starting from FactoryTalk Alarms and Events version 6.31, it's possible to omit the alarm server from the path if only one alarm server exists within the area. Starting from FactoryTalk Alarms and Events version 6.60, it's possible to omit the alarm group from the path.
Example
AE_Enable "/Data_Area:FTLinx_Server::*;/Tag_Area:FTAETag_Server::*" /P
or
AE_Enable "/Data_Area::*;/Tag_Area::*" /P
Enables
all the alarms of
FTLinx_Server
 under the
Data_Area
 area and all the alarms of

If only one alarm server exists within an area, the server can be omitted from the path, as shown in the second example.
AE_Enable "/Tag_Area:FTAETag_Server:Group1.SubGroup1::*" /P
or
AE_Enable "/Tag_Area:FTAETag_Server::*" /P
Enables
all the alarms in
Group1
's
SubGroup1
 of
FTAETag_Server
 under the
Tag_Area
 area
.
The alarm group can be omitted from the path, as shown in the second example.
AE_Enable %AlarmEventSummary1% /P
Enables all the selected alarms on the
AlarmEventSummary1
 object.
