Alarm Grouping

Grouping alarms in Ignition is an important concept so you can view alarms for a particular area of your plant or for a specific set of alarms. A common design practice is to associate alarm groupings on the associated data of the alarm.

To create alarm grouping

  1. Create an alarm.

  2. Create associated data on the alarm.
         The associated data should be a static value that describes the group.

  3. Click OK.
    The alarm will now always have the group designation associated with it. This can be used for filtering or part of your alarm pipeline notifications.
