Mass Creating Alarms Using the Search Method

You use the search tool to find objects or properties that have the name or other property in common. You then mass create identical alarms for these objects instead of creating the alarms one by one for each object or property.

You use the mass create feature to create multiple identical alarms or trend logs for different objects, instead of creating the alarms or trend logs one by one. From trend logs, you can mass create extended trend logs.

The main principle in the EcoStruxure Building Operation software is that what you can do from one object or property, you can mass create from a number of selected objects or properties on a one to one basis. For example, you have seven objects that you want to monitor with seven interval trend logs. By selecting the objects and starting the ordinary New Object wizard, you configure a generic interval trend log template. When finishing the wizard seven identical interval trend logs that monitor individual objects are automatically created.

Object or Property Variable Type

In the EcoStruxure Building Operation database, you can create alarms or trend logs that are suitable for the variable type you have selected.

Pour plus d'informations, voir Object or Property Variable Type .

Suffix and Prefix

When you mass create objects you can specify a prefix and suffix that are added to the created object name. The prefix is added before the name and the suffix is added after.

Mass Create Unit Management

You can only mass create alarms with identical units or no unit. When you mass create trend logs, each trend log gets the same unit as the logged variable.

Mass Create from Properties with the Search Method

Mass creating can be performed by either selecting objects in the object list or selecting the objects or properties in a search result list. Using the search result list is very convenient if you want to monitor a number of properties located in different devices or folders. For example, you want to create enumeration alarms that monitor the reliability property on several I/O points. The I/O points are located on several automation servers. By performing a search for the reliability property you can select the points that you want to monitor in the search result list.

Mass Create Path Options

You have three options when deciding where to create new alarms, trend logs, and extended trend logs:

  • The same folder as each selected object

  • A different folder, relative to the path of each selected object

  • A single folder for all created objects

To mass create alarms using the search method

  1. In WorkStation, in the Search box, type the name or the property that the objects have in common.

  2. Click the Search button

     
    action_zoom_plus_stroke
    .

  3. In the Search view, select the objects or properties you want to create alarms for.

  4. On the File menu, point to New and then click Alarm .

  5. In the Create Object wizard, in the object type list, select the alarm type you want to create.

  6. In the Prefix box, type a label that is added in front of the name of the alarms.

  7. In the Suffix box, type a label that is added after the name of the alarms.

  8. In the Description box, type a description for the alarms.

  9. In the Destination box, select the destination where you want to create the alarms. If you use A different folder, relative to the selected object , this destination applies to the first object in the list, and its path will work as a pattern for the relative path that is applied to all the remaining objects.

    Déclaration

    If the specified relative path pattern leads to an unavailable position for any of the objects in the list, Next and Create are disabled.

  10. If you use A different folder, relative to the selected object , verify that the additional line shows the resulting relative path pattern that you intend, and the way this pattern applies to an example object in the list.

  11. Click Next .
