1 Alarm Banner
1.1 Overview
The Alarm Banner enables the user to: -
• Take an overall view of Plant Areas having high priority, unacknowledged alarms;
• View a count of the total number of high priority, unacknowledged alarms on the whole
SCADA system;
• View alarm statistics for those Plant Areas / Sites which have alarms;
• Apply a filter to the Alarm Viewer based on any Plant Area selected in the Alarm Banner, so
that alarm details for that Plant Area may be separated and investigated.
The Alarm Banner is an ActiveX control that provides the user with an overview of unacknowledged,
high priority alarms grouped by Plant Area. The Alarm Banner can be run within any ActiveX control
container. Typically this would be a docked banner window at the bottom of the Desktop. It can also
run outside the Desktop environment in its own custom container, as sho wn ab ove, where it is called
the OpenEnterprise Alarm Ribbon.
1.2 Accessing the Property Pages
The Property Pages of an View component provide all of the dialogs necessary to configure it. There
are two ways to access the Property pages.

1.3.1 General Page
The General Property page allows configuration of the Alarm Database and window background
color. It also enables Custom context menu items for the Alarm Banner to be configured, or to allow
access to the Property pages in Runtime mode.
1.3.1.1 Configure the Alarm Database

Redundant mode are usually defined by the Server's DNS name(s) followed by a colon, followed by
'rtrdb1' (eg Server:rtrdb1). There is a comma in between each server if the Database is running in
Redundant mode- (eg Master1:rtrdb,Master2:rtrdb1). Databases may also be defined by Internet
Protocol (IP) addresses (eg 102.10.0.90:rtrdb1,102:10.0.91:rtrdb1). The Server DNS names may be
aliased using the Hosts file found in the 'C:\Winnt\System32\Drivers\etc' directory. This allows
Databases to be named independently of specific IP addresses or DNS names. A sample Hosts entry
is shown below (the headings should not be included in the actual file): -
IP Address Alias 1 Alias 2 Comment

The IP addresses of the Servers are given on the left, then after a space or tab each alias name is
specified. In the example above there are two alias names defined for each Server. A hash indicates
that what follows is a comment, not an alias.
The 'rtrdb1' part of the database name is an alias for a TCP service port defined in the Services file on
the Server(s) which are running the database. The Services file is found in the same directory as the
Hosts file. In applications where there is more than one database defined, these aliases may be given
more descriptive names such as 'nw3000', 'dynamiclogic' or 'corporate'. Each alias must have a
unique service number, and the numbers must be applied consistently across the application.

5. Type the name of the added column in the 'Target column of alias to resolve' field. We could
add a filter on the values that are available in the Column List, but we cannot use the Column
List to filter on our custom column (in our example this is called 'extracolumn') because this
does not appear there. So we need to type the custom column name directly into the 'Target'
field.
Then we should type the actual value that we want to filter on into the Parameter Value field (in
the example this is 'VALUE'). Then select the [Add] button.

filtering for that alarm state. Leaving both alarm state pairs without a tick also has the effect of
cancelling filtering on that state (i.e. both acknowledged and unacknowledged alarm will be counted).

Below is an example Alarm Banner docked to the bottom of the Desktop, displaying Plant Area
alarms as small icons.

By default Plant Areas with the highest priority, uncleared, unacknowledged alarm appear on the left
of the list. If the number alarms from different Plant Areas are equal in this respect, then the
occurrence time is taken into account - the Plant Area with most recent high priority uncleared,
unacknowledged alarm taking priority.
1.4.2 Colours and Flashing within the Alarm Banner
Each site in alarm is represented by a bitmap. These bitmaps represent details about the top alarm as
follows:

larm Banne
1.4.3 Alarm Counter
By default this counter will display the total number of alarms present on the SCADA application. If
desired, a filter can be applied to this counter. In this case the counter will only display the number of
a certain state and priority of alarms, (for example, Unacknowledged Priority 0 and Priority 1 alarms).
The Count is refreshed automatically every few seconds, or manually by using the 'Refresh' option of
the context menu.
1.4.4 Plantareas In Alarm
The pane to the right of the Counter displays the Plant Areas which are currently in alarm as icons.
The Plant Area list is sorted left to right in order of top alarms. The data shown in the Alarm Banner is
obtained from the plantarea, cleared, acknowledged, priority and occurrence time fields of the alarm
summary table of the Database to which the Alarm Banner Client is connected. If the plantarea field is
null or empty, then the site is deemed to be 'Unknown'. If a Plant Area icon is drawn with an X through
it this indicates that the Plant Area now has no alarms associated with it. On the next refresh it will be
deleted.
1.4.5 Runtime Context Menu
The runtime context menu becomes available when the Alarm Banner is in runtime mode. It enables
the operator to filter the Alarm Banner, refresh its display, display alarm statistics or print the display.

The Alarm Banner is very useful for larger SCADA applications where there are many Plant Areas (or
Sites ). The Alarm View normally shows the details of all alarms for all Plant Areas as they occur. The
Alarm Banner may be configured to have an additional context menu item enabling the user to apply
a filter to the Alarm View causing it to show only alarms from the selected Plant Area.
It is assumed that prior to setting up this menu item that there is a fully configured and saved Alarm
View file to hand, with the file extension .AC.
