EDITING INTEGER TAGS
CRIMSON USER MANUAL - MODULAR CONTROLLER
• The Delay property is used to indicate how long the alarm condition must exist
before the alarm will become active. In the case of an edge triggered alarm or
event, this property also specifies the amount of time for which the alarm
condition must no longer exist before subsequent reactivations will result in a
further alarm being signaled. As an example, if an alarm is set to activate when a
speed switch indicates that a motor is not running even when the motor has been
requested to start, this property can be used to provide the motor with time to
run-up before the alarm is activated.
• The Accept property is used to indicate whether the user will be required to
explicitly accept an alarm before it will no longer be displayed. Edge triggered
alarms must always be manually accepted.
• The Priority property is used to control the order in which alarms are displayed
by Crimson’s alarm viewer. The lower the numerical value of the priority field,
the nearer to the top the alarm will be displayed.
• The Email property is used to specify the email address book entry to which a
message should be sent when this alarm is activated. Refer to the Advanced
Communications chapter for information on configuring email.
THE TRIGGERS TAB
The Triggers tab of a flag variable or formula contains the following properties...
• The Trigger Mode property is as described for the Alarms tab.
• The Delay property is as described for the Alarms tab.
• The Action property is used to indicate what action should be performed when
the trigger is activated. Refer to the Writing Actions section for a description of
the syntax used to define the various actions that Crimson supports.
EDITING INTEGER TAGS
You will recall that integer tags represent a 32-bit signed value. The following sections
describe the various tabs that are displayed on the right-hand side of the Data Tags window
when editing one of the various kinds of integer tags.
