Alarm Limits

Use the fields within the Alarm Limits section of the Counter Point tab to specify the properties that are associated with a SCADAPack x70 Counter point's limits.

The counter point inherits its High Limit from the SCADAPack x70 Counter Configuration item with which it is associated (see Configure the Event Attributes). (If you have not re-opened this configuration Form since using the Form's SCADAPack x70 Object field to associate this Point with the relevant Configuration item, you may need to refresh the Form in order for this field to display its inherited value. Likewise, if the inherited value is changed on that Configuration item's Form while this Point Form remains open, you might also need to refresh this Form to display the updated inherited value. To do this, save the configuration changes.)

The other Alarm Limit fields are common to various types of counter point. For more information, see Configure the Limits for a Counter-Type Point in the Geo SCADA Expert Guide to Core Point Configuration.

For information about the properties that appear towards the bottom of the Alarm Limits section, see the following sections:

• Tune Limits—see Define Whether a Counter-Type Point’s Limits can be Tuned in the Geo SCADA Expert Guide to Core Point Configuration.
• Area of Interest—This field is only displayed if the Area of Interest feature is enabled on your system. Use the field to specify the Area of Interest with which any state-related point alarms or events are to be associated (see Specify the Area of Interest Associated with a Point’s State-Related Alarms and Events).
