Alarm services give you the tools you need to customize your alarm configuration. They are flexible in that you can enable any one or all of them, and you can define settings for each service to help you implement your alarming scheme. The following alarm services are available on the Alarm Configuration dialog box:
- Alarm Printers 1, 2, 3, and 4
- Alarm Summary Service
- Alarm File Service
- Alarm History Service
- Alarm Network Service (active only if you are networked)
- Alarm Startup Queue (active only if you are configured as a networked SCADA server)
- Alarm ODBC Service
To enable and configure a service, simply double-click it. For more detailed information on alarm services, refer to the Implementing Alarms and Messages manual. The following sections detail how you can customize alarm services using the SCU.
