Alarm Custom1 property string data fails to display on graphics page.

Hello.

In my project I want some static alarm property information to be displayed on graphics pages.
Our static information is written as strings in the alarms table fields "Alarm Desc" and "Comment" properties.
Displaying the information in the "Alarm Desc" property performs well using a string expression like "AlarmTag.Desc" on the graphics page.

For some reason, displaying the string value in the property "Comment" by putting the string expression "AlarmTag.Comment" on the graphics page fails. The error message "Some variable tags were not found" shows up. Seems that the "Comment" property is not supported for access on the graphics page.

So in order to display the information in the "Comment" field on a graphics page I tried to copy the string in this field into the "Custom1" field and put the string expression "AlarmTag.Custom1" on my graphics page but nothing appears on the graphics page at runtime. Neither information or error code, simply nothing.

Can somebody enlighten this issue?

  • Hi ,

    I don't think the comment property is supported as an alarm property you would be able to view on a graphic page, see the help on the supported properties "System Model > Alarms > Using Alarm Properties as Tags > Supported Alarm Properties" As for the Custom1 set the [Alarm]UseConfigLimits=1 in your ini file.

    If you don't mind me asking what's the use case for displaying a static alarm property on a graphic page, I have made the broad assumption that this is not a normal alarm page you talking about?
