The 3 lines at the bottom of the standard template show the last 3 active alarms, this is alarms from your alarm database in Citect, so if you have 10 alarms come on all within a second of each other you will see the last 3 to come on, to see the rest look on the Active Alarm Page, once Acked and Off they will go into the alarm summary page - The alarm Log and Summary device fields on the alarm category form is where you can define a device to write out the alarm history to. You have got yourself slightly if not very confused: - The 'Almindexsave.dat' file is where Citects keeps its alarm history so if the system is shuts down it can reload its current alarms when restarted, you MUST not do anything with this file, its purely for Citect use. I presume the alarm log device is for the data base and the alarm summary device "AlarmSummary" is connected to the 3 lines at the bottom of the page? Please help justin I have went through a tutorial i have about this and it done it in the method above. Im trying to configure the alarms so that i save the alarms in a data base in a folder that can be backed up once a week say and also to display them on the scrolling 3 line display at the bottom of the Xp template. I had it working yesterday but today i keep getting the following error: Failed to load the alarm save file The file 'Almindexsave.dat' was corrupt or invalid Citect could not be started I was getting this error yesterday but i changed the Primary alarm save path in my computer set up wizard to a folder on my desktop and it seemed to cure it. Hi Im trying to configure digital alarms for my Citect project by making the digital alarms and logging them to an alarm log via one device and alarm summary via another device through the alarm category.
