Adding an onboard alarm tag

When a device onboard alarm has not been included in Power Operation, you can add it using Profile Editor. You need to follow these steps to include the device’s unique identifier. Otherwise, the alarm will not annunciate in the Graphics page.

You can only add onboard alarms for devices using the CM4, PM8, Micrologic, or Sepam drivers. CM4, PM8, and Micrologic unique IDs must be decimal; SEPAM unique IDs must be hexadecimal.

To add an onboard alarm tag:

  1. From the device, obtain the following information:
    1. The unique identifier for this alarm. Additionally, for MicroLogic, you need to include the unique sub-identifier.
    2. The file number in which alarms on stored on the device.
  2. From the Profile Editor, add the onboard alarm.
