Using the Write Function on an Alarm Notifier Log File
You can use the Write function to acknowledge or write a comment to a log entry on an Alarm
Notifier. The following table describes the properties you can define in the input parameters you
supply to the function to acknowledge an alarm.

Property Description
<UCPTname>
The name of the data point that triggered the alarm in the following
format: <network/channel/device/functional block/data point>.
<UCPTdescription>
Enter a comment to be recorded in the log file entry for this alarm.
This can be a maximum of 80 characters long.
<UCPTalarmNotifier
Name>
The name of the alarm notifier containing the data point that triggered
the alarm in the following format: <network/channel/device/functional
block>.
<UCPTalarmTime>
A timestamp indicating the time that the alarm occurred. You must
enter this timestamp in ISO 8601 format, which is as follows:
[YYYY-MM-DD]T[HH:MM:SS.sss]+/-[HH:MM]
<UCPTuserName>
The user name of the person acknowledging the alarm. This will be
logged in the log file. This can be a maximum of 31 characters long.
<UCPTStatus
LonFormat=
"UCPTalarmStatus">
You can select one of four parameters for the <UCPTalarmStatus>
attribute:
• MANUAL_CLEAR : Alarm will be acknowledged and removed
from the active list.
• MANUAL_ACK: Alarm will be acknowledged, but not removed
from the active list. If an alarm is cleared manually before it is
acknowledged manually, the log entry is set to MANUAL_ACK
and deleted from the alarm summary log (cleared =
MANUAL_CLEAR).
• NACK: The alarm will not be acknowledged or removed from
the active list. However, the comment entered for the
<UCPTcomment> property will be entered into the log.
• AUTO_ACK: The alarm was automatically acknowledged by
the Alarm Notifier when it occurred. You can cause an Alarm
Notifier to automatically acknowledge all alarms for a data point
by setting <UCPTackRequired> property for the data point to 1
when you create your Alarm Notifier with Set. You can still enter
comments for the log file using this function if an alarm was
automatically acknowledged. For more information on the
