Alarms overview

This section discusses two alarm types: time-stamped analog and time-stamped digital. To access the alarms, from Power Operation Studio, select the project folder, then click Alarms. In the right-hand pane, the alarm types display. Double-click the one you want to view/edit.

PC-based alarms

PC-based alarm tags are added in the Profile Editor, when adding each device profile. See Managing device profiles for instructions. For instructions on entering setpoints and delays, see Add setpoints and delays.

Onboard alarms

If onboard alarms have been configured in a supported device, you can use the Profile Editor to map these alarms to digital time-stamped alarms in Power Operation.

You cannot configure new onboard alarms from Power Operation. You must add the alarm at the device, then you can create the alarm tag for it here. See Adding an onboard alarm tag.
