FTView SE - Changing alarm severity on the fly.

[Andy6]

I'm wondering if anybody knows a way to edit the severity of an alarm in FTView using a button or numeric input rather than going into the tag database. VBA possibly?

I have a customer that's looking at being able to change how Win911 dials out certain alarms, all 600 of them. (Win911 can change operation based on severity)

I have done similar things before using a numeric input on screen and compare instructions in the PLC. My problem this time is there are multiple PLCs from another vendor (which I'm not supposed to change) and 600 is just way too much work to add in a similar way.

FTA&E or Standard HMI Alarms?

FTA&E or Standard HMI Alarms?

Unfortunately, standard.

I talked to tech support, the severity data is not accessible outside of the tag database.

So I'll be looking at other options.
