List of alarm objects
Clicking the button All alarms in the Alarm list window (the Critical and Uncritical tabs) opens the following window containing a list of all alarm objects defined in D2000 system (objects of Alarm, I/O tag, Eval tag, Switch and System type).
The List of alarm objects window consists of 5 basic parts:
- tree view of alarm groups (1)
- mask (2)
- paging buttons (3)
- list of alarm objects (4)
- control buttons (5)
Tree view of groups
After choosing one of the defined alarm groups, the contents of the list of
alarm object (4) is reduced to the alarms that belong in selected logical
group. Alarms not included in any alarm group are assigned into the
Unfiled object alarm group.
Note:
In contrast to the
Alarm list, the tree view contains all logical groups in the D2000 system,
i.e. logical groups as well as alarm logical groups.
Mask
Mask allows more quick searching for the objects, names of which contains
some common characters. A mask is defined by typing into the input field and
pressing the button
.
You can use special characters in masks that are described in the following
table.
| Character | Meaning |
|---|---|
| * | Substitutes arbitrary number of characters. |
| ? | Substitutes just one character. |
| [characters] | Allows to enter a few characters (without delimiter), that may occur on specific position. |
| [^characters] | Allows to enter a few characters (without delimiter), that may not occur on specific position. |
Only the objects with names matching given mask will be included in the list of objects.
