Selector Switch Tag Type Properties: Alarm Setup Tab
The Alarm Setup tab allows you to specify the parameters of the alarm that will be triggered when the equipment feedback for the tag does not match expected value.
Since physical equipment can sometimes take a few moments to respond, a delay can be specified to prevent the alarm from being triggered while waiting for the expected feedback value.
By design, this alarm cannot be configured as a trip alarm.
Note: Invalid data, whether on the I/O Device or a feedback tag, will neither cause nor clear an alarm condition.
