Alarm Gateway Object
Alarm Gateway Object is the basic component of Alarm Extension Pack, providing Wonderware Alarm Provider / Alarm Consumer functionality for processing alarms/events coming from/to Wonderware Application Server and/or other Alarm Providers and Alarm Consumers compatible with Wonderware Alarm System:
Alarm Gateway Object works with all incoming “flow” of alarms/events received at Alarm Gateway Alarm Consumer side, then this “flow” is filtered and processed according to rules configured in Alarm Gateway and then at Alarm Gateway Alarm Provider side provided to Alarm Consumers.

Alarm/event filtering (see slide 6 below)
Custom attributes for changing the alarm/event priority and user defined fields (see slide 7 below)
“Exposed Alarm Field arrays” to expose specific Alarm information (fields) as object attributes for use in Application Server scripting
“Custom Acked alarm comment fields” for acknowledged alarms, useful in case alarm descriptions are used
“Mimic” functionality, e.g. for opening specific InTouch windows that are tied with specific alarms
Support for multiple distributed Alarm Gateways, to avoid system overload
Redundant Alarm Gateway configuration, to support Application Server redundancy
Connection with UReason Alarming System

6. Alarm Gateway Object – configuration and filtering
Alarm Gateway Object configuration is done via “Consumer”, “Provider”, “UReason”, “Diagnostic logs” and “Object Information” tabs:
For example, by changing the “To Priority” setting in “Consumer” tab to 998, the alarms/events only with priorities from 1 to 998 will be provided to Alarm Consumers.

7. Alarm Gateway Object – changing alarm/event custom attributes
By using custom attributes, it is possible to change the “Priority”, “User1”, “User2” and “User3” alarm data fields in Wonderware Alarm System. Custom attributes can be set from Application Server scripts, for example, the following command sets the alarm Priority to 10 for “Generator_001.Analog_001.Lo” alarm: AlarmGateway_001.setWWPriority = Me.Tagname + ".Analog_001.Lo=10";

Alarm DB Logger Object
Alarm DB Logger Object can be used for storing to separate Wonderware alarm/event database the alarms/events coming from Wonderware Application Server and/or other Alarm Providers compatible with Wonderware Alarm System:
Several Alarm DB Logger Object instances can be deployed on same computer, so allowing to have several separate Wonderware alarm/event databases on same computer. The Alarm DB Logger Object is developed by using the Wonderware Distributed Alarm Toolkit.
