16.5. OPC A&E

The previous sections explain how to create a simple notification. In this section and the four that follow we create a more sophisticated template that produces OPC A&E condition events.

  1. In the Notification Templates section, click the Add button to open the Configure Template window.

  2. For the Label, enter a name for this template, like HiLoAlarm.

  3. For Type, choose OPC A&E Condition. This will activate the Event Settings

  4. In the A&E Settings, enter the following:

    • A&E Data Domain: OPCAE

    • Condition Name: HighLowTest

    • Source (Script): (leave blank)

    • Category: Conditions

    • Accept incomplete ACK: (leave unchecked)

    For the time being you can leave OnAcknowledge Script blank. We'll come back to that later. Now you are ready to add multiple variables.
