Manually embedding the alarm screen library

Below are the steps to manually incorporate "Alarm Summary" and "Alarm History" from the screen library.

 

■ Work procedure

 

1.Select Screens Library from the Libraries tab

 

In Panel Editor, select the Library tab and set the type to "Screen Library".

 

p_alarm_0062

 

The display in the center of the screen will then switch to the library selection screen.

 

 

2.Import "Alarm Summary" and "Alarm History" from the screen library

 

Select "Alarm Summary" from the screen library list and drag and drop it onto "client.xml" in the project tree.

 

p_alarm_0063

 

 

Using the same procedure, select "Alarm History" from the screen library list and drag and drop it onto "client.xml" in the project tree.

 

p_alarm_0064

 

 

p_alarm_0065

 

This will create folders called "_AlarmSummary" and "_AlarmHistory" as shown on the left, and copy the necessary forms as screen libraries.

 

_AlarmSummary - Alarm summary set

_AlarmHistory - Complete alarm history

 

 

 

 

 

3.Describe the screen call process

 

After embedding a form from the screen library, implement the process to call the screen from the library.

 

There are several ways to call up screens from the Screen Library. For details on how to call up screens, please refer to "Calling Screens from the Screen Library" in the Screen Creation Guide.
