Alarm Manager table columns

The data fields in the Alarm Manager table are organized in columns and describe the alarm information.
Column
Description
Alarm State
The condition of the alarm:
  • Normal, Unacknowledged viewrtalarmsumnormunackiconV5 and Urgent alarmurgentV5
  • In Alarm, Acknowledged viewrtalarmsuminalarmackV5 and Urgent inalarmackedurgent
  • In Alarm, Unacknowledged Icon: ViewRTAlarmSumInAlUnackIcon and Urgent inalarmunackedurgentv5
  • Normal, Acknowledged
The Alarm Manager table displays a combination of all the conditions of an alarm. Therefore, if any condition in the alarm is In Alarm or Unacknowledged, the alarm appears as In Alarm or Unacknowledged in the
Alarm Manager
.
Inhibit State
The value applied to an alarm that inhibits the alarm. These states include:
  • Bad Quality ViewRTAlarmSumBadQualityIconV5New
  • Disabled viewrtalarmsumdisablebutton
  • Suppressed suppressV5
  • Shelved ViewRTAlarmSumShelveButtonV5
When an alarm has more than one inhibit state, the icon of the highest inhibit state appears in the table. If no icon appears for Inhibit State, the alarm is of good quality and is not disabled, suppressed, or shelved.
Alarm Name
The name of the alarm created in
Logix Designer
. For instruction-based alarms, it includes the alarm controller and tag. It can also include the name of the program if the tag is going to be defined at the program level. The Alarm Name can be configured as ::ControllerName.TagName or ::ControllerName\ProgramName.TagName. For tag-based alarms, the Alarm Name appears as ::ControllerName\ProgramName.TagName.AlarmName. If the tag is not located inside a program, this part is omitted and the Alarm Name appears as ::ControllerName.TagName.AlarmName.
