Getting Started
First Alarms
With WDX, you can create various types of alarms to suit your application needs: Informative, Warning, and Error.
To create a new alarm, navigate to the Alarms section and select Create. This allows you to customize the type, behavior, and conditions of your alarm.
Alarm Details
When defining a new alarm, you can configure the following details:
-
Name and Classification
- Assign a unique name to your alarm.
- Choose one of three severity levels:
- Informative: Provides general information.
- Warning: Indicates potential issues.
- Error: Highlights critical problems requiring immediate attention.
-
Acknowledgment Requirement
- Specify if the alarm requires user acknowledgment to reset.
-
Custom Alarm Code
- Define a unique code for easier identification and troubleshooting.
Condition
Alarms typically activate only when specific conditions are met. You can define these conditions by:
- Selecting an existing variable.
- Setting a trigger, such as a threshold value being exceeded or another logical condition.
This ensures that alarms are both relevant and actionable.
Messages
Optionally, you can associate messages with your alarm:
- Activation Message: Displays when the alarm is triggered.
- Deactivation Message: Displays when the condition causing the alarm is resolved.
