Alarm Levels
Using WinPM.Net with an ACCESS 9360, multiple alarms can be set
up for one particular quantity (parameter) to create alarm “levels”.
You can take different actions depending on the severity of the alarm.
For example, you could set up two alarms for kW Demand. A default
alarm already exists for kW Demand, but you could create another
custom alarm for kW Demand, selecting different pickup points for it.
The custom kW Demand alarm, once created, will appear in the
standard alarm list. For illustration purposes, let’s set the default kW
Demand alarm to 120 kW and the new custom alarm to 150 kW. One
alarm named kW Demand ; the other kW Demand 150kW as shown
in Figure 7–1. Note that if you choose to set up two alarms for the
same quantity, use slightly different names to distinguish which alarm
is active. The display can hold up to 15 characters for each name.
You can create up to 10 alarm levels for each quantity.
