The CitectSCADA alarm system monitors your
production processes and alerts operators to unexpected events that
may require attention.
There are two types of alarms that you may need to
configure:
Hardware
alarms - alert you to inoperative or partially operative
equipment
Configured
alarms - allowyou to specify relevant alarm conditions for your
facility (for example, the value of a variable tag monitoring the
level, temperature, or status of a specific piece of equipment).
There are seven types of configured alarms, depending on the type
of alarm condition you need to set up.
To help operators process alarms, you can create
graphics pages that provide alarm information (such as the action
an operator needs to perform to correct the situation).
