Alarm management
The EXTER alarm management is used to call the operator's attention to events
in the process that require immediate attention. To make the fault finding
easier and faster, alarms can be grouped, for example after priority or work
area. Alarms are displayed in the alarm list in the operator terminal and can
be printed or sent as an e-mail. Acknowledgement of alarms is done from the
operator terminal or from an external signal connected to the PLC, allowing for
remote acknowledgement. The alarm message can include dynamic values as well as
static text and, if more information is needed, a complete block of information
can be linked to each individual alarm.
