Alarm Console

This view of the console recipient displays all the alarms that have been routed to it. To open this view, right-click an alarmRecipient under the AlarmService and click Views > Alarm Console.

The alarm console manages alarms on a per–point basis. Each row in the table is the most recent alarm from a point.

To sort the alarms in order of any column, click the column bar (once for ascending, twice for descending).

To view all current alarms from a particular point, double-click a row in the table. This opens the Open Alarm Sources view.

To use sound options, click the sound icon in the toolbar of the Alarm Console window.

Use the right-click menu in the alarms table or Hyperlink at the bottom of the Alarm Console view.

This view displays BFormat text under the Message Text column of the window. This message text comes from the text entered using the console’s Property Sheet.

The AX Alarm Console supports alarm sounds when running in desktop browsers. For mobile support, browse to the page on the mobile. Web browsers like Chrome can play mp3 and ogg sound files. This is not recommended due to lack of support in Workbench.

Note: The only format that works in both Workbench and in a browser is wav.
