Alarm Group Filters with Library Conrol - Alarm Table

Does anybody know if the Library Conrol - Alarm Table is compatilble with the AlarmSetInfo(.....) function?

I'm trying to sort alarms based on Category, and the combination of criteria would never fit in the AlarmFilterxxx functions.

  • Hi  ,

    It looks like AlarmSetInfo() functions are not supported by the Library Control - Alarm Table. Looking at help topic:

    https://gcsresource.aveva.com/plantscada/WebHelp/plantscada2020R2/Content/Using_the_Alarm_Table_Library_Control.html

    Looks like AlarmFilterxxx functions must be used.

    It might be worth reaching out to AVEVA Customer Support and working through your filter to see if anything could be implemented differently.

    Kind regards

    Olivier

  • That was the way I was reading it, too.

    However, with a bit of trial (and plenty of error), I was actually able to get it to work.

    The two systems are totally blind to each other.  But they do work simultaneously to each other.

    Sounds dangerous , so I am trying to move the filters all to one system.

    The AlarmFilterxxx functions are more cumbersome (personal judgement - requires explicit text to read and write filters).

    I was trying to avoid recategorizing the alarms, but once this was done, everything looks good
