Technical Information

In the project citedthis solution, an alarm will trigger if is triggered when the value of Tag1 is set to 1. Additionally, and the message will change when if the value of Tag2 is set to 5 (or if it is was previously set to 5) - and will return revert to the previous text if it’s not 5 anymorethe value of Tag2 is no longer 5.
Such This change is done implemented through the display’s CodeBehind, where you can change adjust the properties of any Alarm Item as desired, and needed. The method used for this example , the method used is seen shown below.

@Alarm.Item.<Your alarm name>.Message = "Your custom message";

The example also relies depends on knowing the tag state at any given moment. Therefore, therefore it runs on utilizes the “DisplayIsOpenDisplayIsOpen() ” method along with other Alarm properties, seen as shown in the code snippet below.

public void DisplayIsOpen() {
if (@Alarm.Item.ID0.State == 2) {
if (@Tag.Tag2 == 5 && @Alarm.Item.ID0.Message == "Alarm Primary State") {
@Alarm.Item.ID0.Message = "Alarm is Locked";
@Tag.Tag1 = 1;
}
if (@Tag.Tag2 != 5 && @Alarm.Item.ID0.Message == "Alarm is Locked") {
@Alarm.Item.ID0.Message = "Alarm Primary State";
@Tag.Tag1 = 1;
}
}

}
