Properties (All Alarms)

[Max Record] 'Alarm.MaxRecord'

Set the number of alarm history records to save. When alarm history exceeds the set value, the process specified by the [Operation When [Save in] Is Full] field is executed. The alarm history includes alarms and system errors for all alarm groups.

Setting Value Range: 0 - 2147483647

Note:

The number of alarm history records you can save depends on the capacity of the save location. For data size of alarm history, refer to the following.
Calculating the Size of Data to Save
The maximum number of system errors that can be saved is 100. Even if you set [Max Record] to a value greater than 100, the number of system errors saved is limited to 100. If the number of system errors exceeds 100, the oldest system error is deleted and the newest system error is saved.

[Operation When [Save in] Is Full]

Select the operation that occurs when the alarm history exceeds the number of [Max Record].
-[Overwrite Old Data]: Delete the oldest alarm history and save the new alarm history.
-[Stop logging]: Stop saving new alarm history.

[Save in]
Select the save location for alarm history from the following. -[Backup Memory] -[SD Card] -[USB Storage]
Important: When you use external storage for saving alarm history, turn off the display unit before removing the external storage. If you remove external storage before turning off the display unit, the alarm history cannot save even though the external storage is inserted again. In this scenario, restart the display unit after inserting external storage. We recommend you avoid selecting external storage that is often removed from the display unit. Note: The memory and storage which can be selected for [Save in] depend on the display unit model. When using SP5000 Series Open Box (Windows 10 IoT Enterprise Model), IPC Series, or PC/AT, simply selecting [SD Card] or [USB Storage] will NOT store the alarm history in the SD card or USB storage inserted in the display unit. To save the alarm history in the SD card or USB storage, specify the destination folder in the [Destination Folder (SD Card)] or [Destination Folder (USB Storage)] property of the target.

[Hi/Lo Status Behavior]

Select how alarm states operate when the value of the variable configured with a level alarm changes from Hi to HiHi or Lo to LoLo.

[Change to RTN on HiHi/LoLo]
[Remain Active on HiHi/LoLo]

Note: If you select [Remain Active on HiHi/LoLo] and a changed value exceeds more than one alarm type, all applicable alarms occur at the same time.

(Example)

For a level alarm with Hi set to 50 and HiHi set to 100, and the value changes from 0 to 105, both Hi and HiHi occur at the same time. As a result the Alarm Summary object displays both of the alarms and in this order Hi, HiHi, to match the direction of change in value (0 to 105).
