Hi
I thought it was a simple task to show on a picture the text of module alarm, but I found no way, all day long.i.e. : In MY_MODule, I have configured an alarm using "Change_of_state" type (COS), and I have choosen the text "STOP_PUMP" as alarm text.
In my picture, if I use "DVSYS.MY_MOD/STOP_PUMP.A_CV", the text returned is "COS" = The alarm type, but not the alarm text.I'm looking to put a DataLink on my picture that shows "STOP_PUMP" and not "COS"
I have tried many and many other syntaxes with no success.
I had a look to the alarm banner, but all is refering to THISUSER datas, that have other kind of attributes.
Regards. Jack

In reply to SBPosey:
Thank you for these ideas.
In reply to Jack_France:
I said, yes, thank you.
If I have to detail each case, I rather doing it in the pictures, using a little VBA script to easier choose the alarm to be use in the conditional color and friends.
I was looking for a secret attribute I was ignoring ... but it seems not to be possible to do this.
Thanks again.

You can use the DeltaV alarm summary object on a graphic or faceplate. When you drop this object onto the graphic you can select which module or modules are shown in it and also which columns are to be displayed.
The options are Description, Alarm, Message etc.
Not sure which version of DeltaV you are using but this object is available in 11.3.

You are correct this will list only active alarms.

In reply to Steve Linehan:
Steve is right.
"Alarm summary object" is what I need - with the "Param" I was looking for.
Thank you for making me discover it!
Not able to select a particlar alarm parameter, but it doesn't matter.
I only regret that the columns can not be resizable (in configuration mode) to be large enough to show 16 chars alarm parameter name.
Great.
Thanks
In addition, I have found this way to automaticaly enlarge ALL "Alarm summary" objects on my picture :
Private Sub CFixPicture_Initialize()On Error GoTo ErrorHandler frszinitPicture Me ' Added to enlarge DV Alm Summary fields Dim oOo As Object For Each oOo In Me.ContainedObjects If oOo.Description = "DO NOT CHANGE THIS FIELD : DV Alarm Summary Control" Then oOo.AutoFitColumns End If Next Exit SubErrorHandler: frsHandleErrorEnd Sub
Hi,
The columns are resizable in the alarm summery object in configuration mode. Go to object properties & the 'columns' tab. There you can remove the 'auto fit column width' checkbox for the required column. Then close the properties dialog box & double click on the object header to be able to resize the respective column to fixed required width.
Best Regards,
Amod.
In reply to amodbobade:
Bye the way, if you have multiple cases with different alarm "Parameter names", then you can just put a static text on dispay same as the parameter name & give it visibility on the corresponding alarm state.
You can also add it to the dynamo, as all pumps will generally have the same "STOP_PUMP" indication.
This is the same we generally do for "HI" & "HIHI" alarms for analog tags. Eventhough here the alarm words are same as parameter names, it is easier to show neither & animate a static text on HMI with visibility condition.
