Alarm Status

Each alarm has a status that indicates whether the abnormal condition that triggered the alarm is still in effect and whether the alarm has been acknowledged by a user. The possible alarm statuses are:

Once an alarm is both acknowledged and cleared, it is automatically deleted from the Alarms Lists and Alarm Banner.

You can view an alarm’s status on a variety of displays including the Alarm Banner and Alarms Lists. Each item’s Status display shows the alarm status of the most important alarm that is raised for the item—the alarm with the highest severity (see Status Displays in the ClearSCADA Guide to ViewX and WebX Clients).

Color is also used to indicate the alarm status. The default color scheme for alarms is:

(Your system may be configured to use a different color scheme.)

The alarm colors are used on the Alarm Banner, Alarms Lists, and Queries Lists (see Lists in the ClearSCADA Guide to ViewX and WebX Clients) and can also be used to indicate alarms on animated Mimics (see Mimics in the ClearSCADA Guide to ViewX and WebX Clients).
