Alarms

Viewing alarms

A device configured with alarm settings is set when the value
of a point satisfies the alarm condition of that device.
Use the Alarms tab to view and acknowledge alarms that are
raised on various devices. You can filter alarms based on
occurrence, acknowledgment status, ack time, RTN time,
priority, and so on. You can setup alarms, define their limits,
and prioritize them. You can also acknowledge alarms and
delete acknowledged alarms.
Alarm priorities can be set for each type of alarm condition.
The alarm priority can range from 1 to 10 and is used to
determine E-Mail alarm message recipients. High priority
alarms have a higher reporting priority. For example, system
alarms (for example, low battery) are always high priority.
E-Mail alarm messages can be sent to a maximum of 50 E-
Mail addresses. Any E-Mail alarm message can be sent to
any combination of 50 E-Mail addresses based on the priority
assigned.
When you add a device, all the default alarms present in that
device are added to WebVision. All the default alarms are
enabled.
An alarm is raised when the value of a point on a device on
which an alarm condition is configured satisfies the alarm
condition. The View Alarms page displays a list of alarms
raised on devices along with information such as description
of the alarm, occurrence time of the alarm, the time when the
alarm was acknowledged, return to normal time, the priority of
the alarm, and so on.
