Changing Alarm Category after a Compile and Run

Hi All,

I have a project which had alarms configured all in the default category. This has been run a few times in a test environment.

Now I am trying to assign a different category to some alarms. Changing the category for one alarm results in it appearing as the new category on the Alarms pages, but when using the AlarmSumGet cicocde function, it still retrieves the original category.

Hi Anthony,

Citect tries to pull alarm properties (like category) from the alarm database. If it can't find it there it looks at the configuration values (compiled dbf files in your project). So if you made configuration changes to your alarms you need to delete your alarm database to enforce these changes.

You can find your alarm database in a sub-folder of the Citect data folder.

Regards,
Patrick
