Tutorial: Creating Alarms
This tutorial describes how to setup an Alarm and use the Alarming function.
1. Basics & Definitions
Alarm: An alarm event is always based on the monitoring of a tag (device/system tag or tag of a component connected to the device). For this reason, an alarm (alarm event) can only be created directly on the device, in the device settings.
Alarm Group: An alarm group is a fixed component of alarming (alarm event). Usres can be added to an alarm group so that they are notified via SMS or e-mail when an active alarm occurs.
Alarm Profile: Alarm profiles are an extension of the project and device alarms. An alarm profile specifies if, when and how a user is notified when a system alarm occurs.
Active Alarms: Active as well as gone alarms are shown in the portal until they are manually acknowledged on the mbNET-device. The alarm history cannot be deleted.
