Alarms

An alarm note displays for a plant fault.

Alarms↑ are displayed on both the system as well as the plant level. The symbol displays for alarms.

An alarm for an individual plant is displayed on the system level as an alarm for the entire system. The name of the impacted plant is displayed under "Alarms > Active alarms".

All plants with active alarms are listed under "Active alarms" if multiple plants are in an alarm state within a system.

The color indicates the status of the alarm:

• The color is red: Alarm is 'incoming' and active.
• Additionally, the symbol '+' is used on an incoming active alarm.
• The alarm is green: Alarm is outgoing and resolved.
• Additionally, the symbol '-' is used on an outgoing alarm.

The alarm is transferred to "Alarm history" once the source is resolved.

Erroneous alarm entries in the alarm history caused by plants going offline

An alarm remains in the Cloud on the plant even if the plant goes offline prior to resolution.

1. A plant is online.
• An alarm is generated on the plant and displays in Climatix IC.
2. The plant in alarm goes off-line.
• The previously generated alarm is triggered and is no longer available on the plant.
• The alarm, however, displays in Climatix IC.
3. The plant returns online.
• But the controller does not send an update to Climatix IC on alarms resolved during the off-line period: It does not have a local buffer to buffer alarms and forward them later.
4. Climatix IC detects that the plant is back online.
• But the alarm that was previously present in the plant is no longer there.
• However, the alarm is still automatically set as 'gone/resolved' by Climatix IC with the 'upcoming alarm' timestamp and transferred to the 'Alarm History'.
