2.8.6 Configuring Alarms settings
This section configures the following settings for Alarms:
Setting
Description
Alarm polling
How often the database is checked for any objects with an active alarm state, an acknowledge-
required state, or a reset-required state.
● By default, the database is polled every two seconds.
● For sites with a very high network load, adjusting the Alarm polling settings may help to
optimize performance of the device.
Alarm history
Determines when old alarms are purged from the system.
By default, alarms in the History view that are more than one year old are purged every day at
10:00 P.M.
Alarm routing
Configures the number of minutes the application waits before resending an email for an
unacknowledged alarm.
● The alarm routing function checks the Desigo Control Point database once per minute for
alarms that need to be sent.
● If there are multiple alarm notices for a recipient, they are sent in a single email.
● By default, the application makes three attempts to send an alarm notification email if the
alarm has not been acknowledged. The default interval between each attempt is 15 minutes.
NOTICE
The alarm history purge can take up to 2 minutes.
The Alarms display may not refresh while the system is purging old alarms.
Users can continue to work in Desigo Control Point while the purge is taking
place.
