In addition to site-wide pictures, you can also create a company-wide overview picture to show alarms from production sites in different cities.
To create a company-wide overview picture that shows alarms from different areas:
- Add an Alarm Summary object to your company-wide overview picture.
- Create a company-wide alarm area. Give it a meaningful name, such as HEADQUARTERS.
- Rename your alarm areas so that they are unique across your entire company. For example, you cannot have an alarm area named Line 1 in both your Boston and Houston plants because operators at your corporate headquarters will be unable to distinguish alarms from the two sites. Instead, name the alarm areas uniquely, such as Bos-Line1 and Hou-Line1.
- Assign site-wide alarm areas by city, as the following figure shows.
