Yes. There are two ways you can do this.
From the Database Builder, select the Pressure point, from the Right-Click menu, open the properties and go to the Alarms tab. Now add an alarm by selecting its checkbox and then go to the detail panel for this alarm to set up the email information.
If you decide to receive Reset or ACK via email as well, you will need to set up the email server connection settings in the Project configuration wizard
This option is user-specific and can be accessed during runtime from the real-time viewer.
Open the real-time viewer. From the Custom views, add a new User notification view. When this view opens, click on the “Add” or right-click on the screen to add a new notification.
Enter all necessary parameters to send an email when the value of the pressure point exceeds your set point.
Open Real-time viewer. In the Custom Views pane, create a group. From the group right-click menu, add a Current Alarm View. Double click on the custom view to open it. Use the Column filter settings to filter alarms for Active and Priority 1 for the first view. Similarly, set up other views with desired filters.
Yes. To acknowledge or reset alarms, you will need to set up Email server connection parameters for the project object in the database builder.
You also can set up an optional password in the Alarm task object to include the password with your email reply. When an alarm is received in the email, the email can be replied to with the code to reset or acknowledge the associated alarm.
Yes. This feature is called the Alarm profile.
You will need to set up a set of CSV files under the offline project Alarm folder and then publish it.
You can set up multiple profiles for different days and times. Containing a specific list of destinations for each profile.
Each profile contains a list of email addresses and phone numbers that the system will call and wait for a response. If no ACK or Rest response comes back, it will proceed to the next call.
There are a few techniques that can be used. You can use Security to limit access to certain points and alarms to specific users and user groups. You can also use the Alarm properties of the Alarm Area, Alarm Group and Alarm Category to filter on in the Alarm Viewer.
To use Sinolta Security configuration to control visibility/Read-Only/Read Write assign to each point.Users with no visibility will not see the alarms; users with Read-Only will see the alarms but will not be able to acknowledge or reset the alarms. Users with Write access can rest to acknowledge the alarms.
Alternatively, alarm viewers can be set up with filtering to display on those alarms that are in the Area of Responsibility for a user by defining an Alarm Area, Alarm Group or Alarm Category for a group of users.
This can be configured in the Sinolta security system.
The default configuration for Sinolta provides full access to all points. This means by default; all users can reset and acknowledge all alarms.
Only Users with Write access can reset or acknowledge alarms. Change Sinolta security configuration to provide Write access to those points with Alarm features so they can acknowledge or reset the alarms.
Users can also be set up as read-only, where they will not be able to acknowledge or reset alarms or change any values in the system.
This can be configured in the Sinolta security system.
The default configuration for Sinolta provides full access to all points. This means by default. All users can reset and acknowledge all alarms.
Only Users with Read or Write access can see the alarms. Change the Sinolta security configuration to prevent visibility access to those points with Alarm features, so they are not visible.
Alternatively, you can set up filters in your viewable customized alarm summary screens to prevent users from seeing specific alarms.
Each Alarm object has a URL field that can point to a standard operating procedure. You will need to set up the URL link to connect to a procedure file that is either on a web site or on a shared drive.
Please note that you add the URL link to an alarm object that is on the server-side. If you right-click on this alarm from the Current Alarm views, you will see an option to open the Operation procedure (this option automatically becomes available in the URL filed for the selected alarm is not blank). If the Real-time viewer is running on a different computer than the Sinolta project server, you must ensure that the real-time viewer can access the Procedure file by putting it in a shared space that is accessible to all viewers.
From the Custom View tree view, right-click on the Custom alarm and go to the Properties to change the font size. The properties popup has many additional properties that can be altered to enhance the look and feel of the Custom alarm page.
How do I see the history of all alarms generated by a single point?
There are a few ways you can do this:
Right, Click on the desired alarm and select Alarm History to see all the alarms that occurred for the selected point. Since a point can have multiple alarm types (e.g. Hi, Lo, HiHi, etc.) all alarms for the point are shown in white; however, alarm the alarms with the same alarm type of the selected alarm will have yellow background.
From Real-time viewer custom views, add an Alarm History or Event History to see the alarm history. Use filter to show only alarms with the same name and type.
Use the Charts application data extraction and choose Log Type “Alarms,” Log Source “Point Log,” and select the point and time period that you are interested in. This will create a CSV output of all the alarm states for that point.
Open HMI Builder.
Create a new HMI screen that will be your Alarm popup page.
Select the HMI screen for your project navigation Header.
Add animation to this HMI screen so when the alarm status for the desired alarm goes to active, it opens the Alarm popup screen in a floating window that is configured to be modal and not resizable.
In the above example, we suggested the header navigation as it is always open.
If your project does not have a Navigation Header or it might not be open at all times, you can use VB script to achieve your objective.
User project script to open the alarm popup screen from a function.
Trigger the VB script function from an animation that is triggered by the Alarm status value.
