Alarm ID's

This gives you more control over the alarm display.

1. Double-click Alarms in the left pane of the client project Workbench.

A New Alarm dialog box opens.

2. Enter a fully qualified name for a source project alarm that will be viewed in the client's Alarm Viewer.

Project/Factory Resource ID/Reference ID/Alarm ID.

Important: The fully qualified alarm ID:

Must be less than 32 characters in length.

Cannot contain the characters: $, | or start with @.
