Alarm History Document

Alarms and Events functionality is available for all modern building automation systems. It helps to detect and identify a potentially hazardous or costly situation.

The alarm document allows the user to configure tags and the type of alarms that will be saved in a text file or in a Database and will be displayed by the Alarm object. You will only configure this alarm document in case you want to store the alarm's history. If you are working with online alarm, there is no need for this configuration.
