Each alarm defined in the project will create a Status File in XML format in the "ALARM" folder during runtime mode. This file is normally created with a syntax of this type:
ProjectName_ThresholdNameSoglia_VariableName.alr
The reason for having this file, as for the variable retentivity file, is to keep saved certain information inherent to the alarms when the project is closed. The saved information gives details on the following:
Alarm Status: this lets you know at the project startup which status, ON, OFF, ACK etc, the Alarm was when the project was last terminated. This serves for restoring the present situation back to how it was before the project was last terminated
Total Time ON: shows the total time in which the alarm remained in the ON status
Last Time ON: shows the date and time of the alarm's last ON transaction
Comment: shows any comments associated to the alarm by users by using the appropriate script functions
Number of ON Events: shows how many times the alarm turned ON
Number of ACK Events: shows how many times the alarm was acknowledged
Number of RESET Events: shows how many times the alarm was reset
Unique ID: shows the alarm's unique ID
Transaction ID: shows the alarm's transaction ID
Some of this information such as the Unique ID and the Transaction ID is important for identifying that particular alarm for managing the "Alarms History" in the "Alarms Window" and in the" Historical Log Window". The other information is just for statistical purposes.
