Hello Everyone,
Can anyone help with getting the Alarm UUID when alarm gets active?
Background: I'm syncing a FTV alarm DB and Ignition and in order to do this, I have to trigger an acknowledgement in IG when FTV triggers one. I'm using the ALMD instruction to handle this handshake but once the ALMD gets acknowledged, I cant make IG do the same.
Hello Drew,
I may need more information to provide more specific recommendations, but you should have a couple options. You could use the tag change scripts to execute a script when an alarm goes active. This event has an alarmEvent object passed to it that contains the uuid (referenced with alarmEvent.getId()). You could also use system.alarm.queryStatus() to return a list of alarm events and then use system.alarm.acknowledge() to acknowledge those events. There's an example of this on the system.alarm.acknowledge() user manual page.
We were trying to include duration of the alarm in the alarm database but we settled on including it in the associated section of the alarm. I though I needed to update the alarm data with the duration in the alarm active insert but the alarm makes another insert when it clears. So if I want duration, I just need to only look at the cleared versions of the alarm.
Thank you for the help! I hope the above makes sense.
