Custom AlarmViewer

[antoineA]

Hi everybody,

Is it possible to create buttons (for example "Up" and "Down") in AlarmViewer which select displayed alarms?. I know we can select them by touching the screen, but I find it's too small and not very practical.

I have looking for in AlarmViewer methods but my knowledges in C# are limited...

Thanks a lot

This is on my wish list, but currently there is not a way to do this with the Alarm Viewer object.

Hi.

I continue this post with a related question:
Is it possible to add alarm buttons for Ack, Info etc but not using the buttons in the AlarmViewer ?

I like to have a Clear all -button elsewere than in the AlarmViewer window. I assume it can be done with a script but I cannot figure out how.

Thank you.

[Ron L.]

Yes, some of that can be done in script by referencing the AlarmViewer instance on a screen.

Code: Select all

void Button1_Click(System.Object sender, System.EventArgs e)
		{
			//AlarmViewer1.AcknowledgeSelected();
			AlarmViewer1.ShowInfo();			
		}

Thank you Ron for your reply.

Is this functionality will be available with the next version of Ix Developer?

Best regards,

It's available in the current release of iX Developer 1.31.93.

hi Ron,

I have another question concerning Alarm features. Is there a way to define the position of Red light apparition when an alarm is activated?? By default, it appears on the upper left corner of the screen and I would like to define it on the center of the screen.

Best regards,
antoineA.

Thanks Ron for the answer, it wasn't so hard

But how to make script if I like to have the button on another screen than the AlarmViewer itself?

I like to have the .ClearNormalAlarms() on a separate screen.


antoineA: I disabled the iX alarm indicator and made my own which is visible if an alarm is active. Then I can make its look and location as I like.

Hi Kim,

To clear the alarms using a button from a different screen you need to get a hold of the AlarmServer object. You can then call your functions on that and all the AlarmViewers in the project will get updated.

Code: Select all

void Button1_Click(System.Object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
	//Globals.AlarmServer.Acknowledge();	
	Globals.AlarmServer.ClearNormalAlarms();
}
