For

Alarm Classes

System

Purpose

To specify the maximum number of alarm classes that can be created in a system.

Value

Number (of classes).

Default Value

550

You activate this parameter by creating a globals.ini file.

 To activate MAX_ALARM_CLASSES:

  1. Open Microsoft Notepad (or another text editor).

  2. Enter the following two lines.

[COUNTERS]

MAX_ALARM_CLASSES=<number>

Where

<number>= The maximum number of alarm classes allowed for the CIMPLICITY computer.

  1. Save the file as Globals.ini.

  2. Place Globals.ini in the GE Fanuc\Proficy CIMPLICITY\Data directory.

  3. Restart CIMPLICITY for the new maximum number of alarm classes to take effect.

Warning

Do not change the globals.ini value once you have any CIMPLICITY process running. Changing the globals.ini once any CIMPLICITY process is running could cause memory corruption, or an access violation.

It is recommended that you reboot after changing the value in the globals.ini, since it is used to set up the shared memory file for the performance counters used in all the projects on a computer.
