I setup an alarm notification with the alarm mode set to equal and the setpoint set to a certain value. When I changed the tag value to the setpoint, an alarm notification was sent by email.
I took the same alarm configuration and changed the alarm mode to “any change” from equal and changed the tag value, and NO alarm notification was sent by email, but it did show up in the alarm journal.
Any Idea what could be causing this?
I did an earlier post on this, but I cannot see it anywhere, so If this is a duplicate post please ignore one of them.
Any Change - An alarm event is generated every time the tag value changes. Note that this
alarm will never be "active" because each active event is paired with a matching clear event,
instantly.
I guess that this means that an alarm notification will never be sent out?
Both scenarios you tried should work. Make sure your alarms are pointing to the correct pipeline, and that the pipeline has the “Cleared” dropout condition unchecked.
