numeric alarm

[ecx1000]

Hello,

I would like to know if by setting the hi and lo alarm triggers in the numeric alarm section of my alarm object if that will alert SCADAlarm? and if SCADAlarm need to see the .active.

example: Lookout 4.5 alarm_server_db = alarm object = alarm1_tank_1_level : numeric alarm hi alarm = 29, lo alarm = 1

               SCADAlarm 5.0 = application = Lookout, Topic = Alarm_server_db : server item = alarm1_tank_1_level    <= does this need to say alarm1_tank_1_level.hi and the same for the low alarm?

Please help thank you.

What is "alarm1_tank_1_level"?

For example, you have an Alarm object alarm1. Configure its hihi. Then, when the hihi is triggered, alarm1.hihi will be ON. You need to monitor alarm1.hihi.

The $Alarm is a global object. $Alarm.active is a numeric value that indicates the current number of active alarms.

But I'm not sure how the SCADAlarm is connected to Lookout. OPC or DDE?
