Overview
An Alarm Item is essentially an alarm. It needs to be bonded to a numerical tag to monitor the variation range.
When opening the Alarm environment, the Items tab will load - by default only some of the columns will appear, with the basic Item configuration. By right-clicking on the header table you can see and check the other available columns.
