What is the Alarm Manager?

The
Alarm Manager
 lists all alarms configured in a system and their current states. The
Alarm Manager
 subscribes to alarms in the controllers. Every alarm from the controllers is listed unless an alarm is removed from a controller. Use the
Alarm Manager
 table to monitor and interact with the alarms on the HMI device.
TIP:
Tips:
  • For tag-based alarms, the Alarm Manager only displays alarms with
    Use and evaluate alarm
     selected in
    Logix Designer
    .
  • The 5380, 5480 and 5580 Logix families of controllers support tag-based alarms.
By default, an
AlarmManager
 screen is included in each project. Create a user-defined
Alarm Manager
 screen by adding an Alarm Manager
graphic element to a screen in
View Designer
.
Use the
Alarm Manager
 to:
  • View alarm names to identify the controller and tag of an alarm.
  • Enable or disable alarms to take them in or out of service.
  • Shelve and unshelve alarms and alarm conditions.
  • Reset counts for alarms.
  • Sort and filter alarms.
  • View alarm errors.
  • View individual conditions for an alarm.
  • View details for a selected alarm or alarm condition.
