Review Application Alarms
The speed of the motor in the sample application ranges from 0 to 1000 rpm. The tag that controls the speed
of the motor is MOTOR_SPEED. Two numeric alarms will alert you when the motor reaches its ideal
operating speed and when the speed nears its upper threshold.
• The first alarm is triggered when the value at the Motor_Speed tag rises to 850 or above. When the
alarm is triggered, the alarm banner opens and displays the message MOTOR AT IDEAL
OPERATING SPEED!
• The second alarm is triggered when the value at the Motor_Speed tag rises to 900 or above. When the
alarm is triggered, the alarm banner opens and displays the message MOTOR SPEED NEAR
THRESHOLD!
