Instructions:
Proceed a follows to change the ProTool
default alarm window setting in WinCC flexible:
In WinCC flexible you set a "alarm window" in the
"Template" dialog. In the Properties of the "alarm window" you can
now define which alarm classes are to be displayed in this alarm
window. For example, you can also create multiple alarm windows and
assign an alarm class to each alarm window separately.
In order to have just the system alarms displayed, for example,
you proceed as follows.
In the project directory Pictures > Template
you insert an alarm window from the menu window Tools >
Advanced Object . You define the position and the devices of
the alarm window as you wish.
Below you see the basic settings. You can make other settings at
any time to suit our personal requirements.
