Alarm Acknowledgement Comment

In the alarm threshold properties you have the option to enable  "Comments on ACK (Audit Trail)".  When the alarm is acknowledged with this option enabled, a widow will appear showing information relating to this alarm including an editing space in which the user can insert a comment.  The edited comment will then be recorded in the historical log's alarm table "CommCol" column.

The alarm is only acknowledged after the operator has existed from the comment window with the "OK" key, while pressing the "Cancel" key will annul the alarm acknowledgement.  The comment window is also managed in client network projects, or when the command is invoked in a multi alarm selection, or using the basic script interface  functions, or with the  commands from the command list.

The  font and font size of the dialog window used for entering comments  can be edited using the appropriate Movicon "AlarmCommentFont" and "AlarmCommentFontSize" registry keys.  The window will adapt adequately to any font modifications.  Texts that appear in the window can also be customized using special String IDs listed in the  "Cambio Lingua di Sistema" section.

Numerous Alarm Acknowledgements

In cases where many alarms need acknowledging at the same time, a comment window will appear for each alarm enabled with the "Comments on ACK (Audit Trail)" option. The comment windows will appear in sequence, one at a time for each alarm. Therefore when existing with "OK" the next alarm's comment window will appear.  However when pressing the "Cancel" key, this will cancel not only that alarm's ackknowledgement but all the others still to be acknowledged.

The "Use for All" option consents all other alarms  still to be acknowledged to use the comment entered in the window.  This option therefore is to be used for entering just one comment for all alarm acknowledges in a multi alarm selection.
