C-more can display and handle alarms and messages in several convenient ways. Alarms appear across the bottom of the display (regardless of the currently displayed screen) when they occur. Messages are displayed via the "Look-up Text" object, which can be configured for display on any screens with-in your project. The Alarm Message Object allows display of the most recent alarms that have occurred; the size of this object dictates how many historical alarms will be displayed. The Alarm History Button Object, allows operators to view a special built-in Alarm history screen, and acknowledge, or clear the alarms. Password protection can be configured for the alarm screens. Alarms and Messages can include embedded PLC tag data as well as date and time information.

Both messages and alarms can be logged in non-volatile memory, or saved onto a Compact Flash or USB Flash Drive.

The Event Manager goes beyond simple Alarm and Message functions, and allows C-more to take action based on random events such as changing tag values, or periodic events like day-of-week, time-of-day, or even based on a particular screen change.

The possible actions include:

• Setting a tag value

• Copying a tag value

• Changing the currently displayed screen

• Capturing a screen

• Playing a sound file

• Sending e-mail
