Ack Alarms at the gatway level

Ignition
1

Hi,

I currently using my plc to ack alarm.
Most of my operator station do have a hardwire button for ack alarm.
I would like to remove the ack logic in my plc and let ignition deal with this.
I try this code in a gateway script to ack all alarm in a specific system like this
      system.alert.acknowledgeAlert("SQLTags.MyArea"."*","*")
But this is not working.

Is there a way to do this?

thanks

Yes, you can but you need to do the following:system.alert.acknowledgeAlert("SQLTags.default"."*MyArea*","*")

Hi,

If I display the system and the path on my Alert summary I get these value
system = SQLTags.FingerJoint
Path = PRESSE

should I write this

[code]system.alert.acknowledgeAlert("SQLTags.FingerJointt"."*PRESSE*","*")[/code]

because system.alert.acknowledgeAlert("SQLTags.default"."*MyArea*","*") doesn't work from a button test.

Yes, you should use SQLTags.FingerJoint. The default is SQLTags.default but if you create a different SQLTags realtime provider it will be a slightly different name.

is the second parameter to the function is the folder path under the Tags folder or the path enter in the alarm tab under the tag properties?

thanks

Hi Travis,

After multiple tried out I found that you cannot use the * in this function. The only way I way able to ack my alarm with this button was by specifying all 3 parameters.
Could it be a % instead of a *?

thanks

Ok, it looks like you can’t use a wildcard right now when acknowledging alerts. However, you can query the alert status first and then loop through them to acknowledge each individual alarm:ds = system.alert.queryAlertStatus(system="SQLTags.FingerJoint", path="*PRESSE*", activeAndUnacked=1, activeAndAcked=0, clearAndUnacked=0, clearAndAcked=0) ds = system.dataset.toPyDataSet(ds) for row in ds: system = row["System"] path = row["Path"] stateName = row["State Name"] system.alert.acknowledgeAlert(system, path, stateName)

Hi Travis,

Is it something for the version 7.4 coming up soon?

thanks

No, you can do it in 7.3.

We have a gateway scoped function, system.alert.acknowledgeAlerts(), in the module posted in the following link
