Common For All Alarms

ID:
Unique identifier assigned to each alarm.
Debounce(s):
The debounce is the amount of time which an alarm source must be
triggered for the alarm to activate. It is recommended that all alarms have a debounce
of at least 5 seconds.
Trigger On:
Trigger on is the value which the source must be for the alarm to activate.
For example: if you had a fail-safe fault circuit going to the input you would want the
alarm to trigger on "OFF". This applies to Modbus alarm sources as well as digital.
Notify On:
The "Notify On" field is related to the "Trigger On" field. When the trigger
value is met, the SCADADroid will notify on either the trigger condition (ALARM), the
opposite of the trigger condition (CLEAR), or both.
1 st Group, 2 nd Group ...:
The call groups are ordered from 1st to 4th. When the
notification is sent out, the group in the 1st group will receive alerts first. If the alarm
is not acknowledged then the group in the 2nd group field will get notifications. If any
groups are left as 0, the SCADADroid will either stop or restart notifications depending
on if the alarm is sent once or until it's acknowledged.
Delay (min):
The delay is the time, in minutes, between sending notifications to the
various groups as the alarm escalates. Acknowledgement will stop the alarm from
escalating. If the delay is set to 0 then the alarm must not be set to repeat.
Repeat Message:
The alarm can behave one of two ways:
Send Once: The Alarm will escalate through the selected groups and stop
after either the last one is notified or the alarm is acknowledged.
Till acknowledged: After the last group is called, the 1 st group will begin
getting a 2 nd notification. This will repeat through all the groups until someone
acknowledges that alarm or the alarm is no longer active.
