Individual alarms

Post by senchenkov_n »

Hello!

My WinCC OA version is 3.15.

I have a problem about alarms.
I want to use individual alarms for each user.
Each user must has his own hi/low settings for each analog parameter and pv range max/mix.
I found at help information that i need write line userDependingAlarms at config.
If i write at config-file to [ui] userDependingAlarms=1, datapoints _UserDependingAlarmSettings and _UserDependingAlarm is being created in internal datapoints
But nowhere is it told how to work with them. Help has no information about this datapoints.
Can you give links to docs for this topic about userDependingAlarms and individual users alarms settings for hi/low?
Can this task be resolved at WinCC OA?

The function which can be activated using the config entry userDependingAlarms is not documented by purpose.
Even if this function is used you can define different alert thresholds for different users. The only possibility is to change the displayed alert class information (priority, colors) in the AEScreen when this feature is in use.

The settings for the alert thresholds and the _pv_range settings can store only one setting for a dp element at a time and are than valid for all users.
