Displaying and Publishing Alarms

Consulting Active Alarms

This function is available on Panel Server Entry, Universal, and Advanced.

Active alarms issued by connected devices are displayed on the Panel Server webpages at Monitoring and Control, on the Data page of each device. An active alarm disappears when conditions of the alarm are no longer met.

NOTE: For devices associated with custom device models, active alarms are not displayed by default and alarms need to be selected manually. Check if your device is associated with a custom device model.

Alarms are defined by severity:

High severity
Medium severity
Low severity

For information about identifying alarm severity, refer to Alarm Icons.

Publishing Alarms

Active alarms can be published by the following methods, depending on the data publication method selected:

Schneider Electric cloud (all models): When the Panel Server is connected to the Schneider Electric cloud ,alarms are published to the cloud application. The selection of alarms is managed at the cloud level, and is available for display only at Settings > Data management > Alarms.
By email (Advanced model): When the Email service for alarms is activated, email notifications for selected alarms are sent to the recipient list.
On the Panel Server webpages at Notifications (Advanced model): Appearance and disappearance of selected alarms are displayed on the Notifications webpage

Selecting Alarms for Publication (Advanced Model)

For each device connected to the Panel Server Advanced, you can select and/or deselect the publication of alarms issued in the case of electrical events or communication loss. By default, publication of alarms is deselected.

A maximum of 500 alarms can be selected concurrently. Of the 500 selected alarms, a maximum of 300 can be from Modbus-SL devices.

Alarms to be published when they become active can be selected individually for each device as follows.
