Using the Tag Explorer
Alarm Management
Tag Explorer can monitor configured variables and
trigger alarms when they reach a defined threshold. Triggered
alarms are shown in the Alarm View and can be optionally
sent by e-mail.
The Alarm View
You can access the Alarm View by clicking on its icon on the View
toolbar, right above the chart.
You can configure whether or not alarms should be triggered for a
specific tag and the threshold for triggering alarms in the Tag
Properties dialog. There are also
global settings for alarms, available in the Profile Settings
dialog(accessible via Profile ->
General Settings).
Alarm Settings In the upper group
You can specify the amount of time to wait before triggering a new
alarm. In the bottom group you can specify all settings to send
alarm notifications through e-mail. These are:
-
Source E-mail Address: E-Mail address to be used as sender.
-
Destination E-mail Address: E-Mail address to be used as
recipient (destination).
-
SMTP Server Address: The host name or IP address of SMTP server
used to send e-mail.
-
SMTP Server Port: TCP port used for connecting to the SMTP
server(default: 25).
-
SMTP Server Username: Username used for authentication in the
SMTP server.
-
SMTP Server Password: Password used for authentication in the
SMTP server.
The Test E-mail Settings button tests e-mail settings
sending a test e-mail for the configured destination.
