Event Alarm Configuration

In most cases you will create and configure alarms through the Point Propertiesdialog box or through scripting. CIMPLICITY places the alarms in the Alarms folder, where you can conveniently modify them.

It is recommended that you do not create event alarms. In almost all cases, CIMPLICITY creates and configures these alarms for you.
