CIMPLICITY Event Alarms

A set of CIMPLICITY event alarms is included in your base configuration. These alarms are not associated with any single CIMPLICITY point ID during configuration. CIMPLICITY event alarms may be modified, but they should never be deleted. They are:

This message is issued every half-hour and shows the number of alarms generated, the count of alarms acknowledged, reset and deleted, and the average number of seconds required to log an alarm.
