(Optional) Assign a New Alarm Table

To assign a new alarm table to a property of a device (and to the corresponding property of the child data points that are set to apply the default alarm table), proceed as follows.

  1. Select Project > Field Networks > [network name] > [device].
  1. In the Object Configurator tab, open the Properties expander.
  1. Select the Alarm.OffNormal property or another alarm property.
  1. In the Alarm Configuration expander, select the Valid check box.
  • The check mark changes from blue (defined in the object model) to gray (defined at instance level).
  1. Select the Field System option and then the corresponding Alarm Table from the drop-down list.
  1. (Optional) Repeat the assignment of a new alarm table for all the required devices.
  1. You can assign the new alarm table to other types of data points as necessary. In a similar way, to assign the alarm table also to all data points of the same type, do the following:
    a. Double-click the Object Model label to access the object model node.
    b. Select the Models & Functions tab.
    c. Assign the new alarm table to the Alarm.OffNormal property of the object model.
