Create an Alarm Tables Block (folder) at the Required Customization Level
To be able to work with alarm tables, you must first of all have a library with an Alarm Tables block available at your allowed customization level. You can do this in one of the following ways:
- Customize an entire library: The entire library structure, including its Alarm Tables block, will be recreated at your customization level for example, L4-Project.
- Add an Alarm Tables block to an existing library at your customization level.
Read the appropriate procedure as needed. Skip this step if you already have a library with Alarm Tables block that you can work on.
Customize an Entire Library with Alarm Tables Block
- In System Browser, select the library with Alarm Tables that you want to customize to a lower level. For example, Project > System Settings > Libraries > L1-Headquarter > BA > Device > BACnet.
- Select the Library Configurator tab.
- Click Customize the entire library to a lower level .
- Click OK to confirm.
- Empty folders, including the Alarm Tables one, are created at the corresponding customization level.
Manually Add an Alarm Tables Block to an Existing Library
- The library you want to work on is available at your customization level, for example, L4-Project.
- Select the library to which you want to add the Alarm Tables block. For example,
Project > System Settings > Libraries > [L4-Project] > [discipline] > [subsystem].
- Select the Library Configurator tab.
- Click Add new object .
- Select New Driver Alarm Table Folder.
- Click Save .
- Click OK.
- A folder is created for the alarm tables.
Only one alarm folder can be created within a library. Multiple alarm tables may, however, be defined in this alarm folder.
