Interact with alarms

Alarms appear on predefined alarm screens included in every project. Each project contains a default

Alarm Summary

screen with an Alarm Summary table, and an

Alarm Manager

screen with an Alarm Manager table.

Use alarm screens to monitor and manage control system alarms. No configuration or tag binding is required in

Studio 5000

View Designer

to display alarms. Use

Logix Designer

to program alarm detection instructions and add tag-based alarms in a

Logix 5000

controller. The 5380, 5480 and 5580 Logix families of controllers support tag-based alarms. Use alarm table graphic elements to create additional alarm screens.
