Remove points from Alarm Configuration
- To remove a point(s) from a certain alarm configuration, select the point.
- Click Remove or uncheck the box under that Alarm Configuration column.
- The Track Bundle property adds the alarmConfig tag, displaying the current alarm configuration applied to the point.
- Since the curVal of our boolean point is true, an alarm is generated.
- The alarm says OCC MODE IS TRUE, specified in the alarmText, displays the name of the point that is currently true.
- If you toggle the alarmEnable property tag, it prevents the program from running since the programOn filter said it had to be true.
- If you were to go back to the Alarm Config App and remove the point from that alarm configuration, all the tags would be removed from that point and are not ready for alarming.
