AlarmGlobals (GVL)¶

This GVL must be initialized before GVL “GloballyForAlarmStorage”, because this GVL causes the initialization of the variable g_stApplicationName. We only need the date and time format pattern for the converted code, therefore we can (and must!) omit the rest from conversion We must not use an attribute to hide this GVL, because there are some variables, that a developer might use. Additionally it is necessary, that this GVL in considered in the data server, but not visible for the user, because some variables of this GVL are added to the data source selection implicitely and for this purpose it is necessary, that this GVL is a part of the available items tree.

InOut:

Name	Type	Initial	Comment
g_AlarmHandler	IAlarmHandler10	g_AlarmHandler_Inst	This global instance provides API functionality to manipulate or retrieve alarm configuration objects. For more information see IAlarmHandler interfaces.
g_diAlarmStateTransitionCounter	DINT		A global counter, that counts all the alarm state transitions, that occur. Needed by the alarm table for optimized painting. If this counter doesn’t change during subsequent paint calls, the same alarms have been active and in the same state. Conditional show attribute must not be present for this variable, because some architectural problems it can lead in a not correct regitration CHECKED_OMIT
g_diAlarmStorageCounter	DINT		A similar counter, that will be incremented each time an alarm is written into the alarm storage. This allows the alarm table to detect, whether some kind of processing has to be done, because there exists a new alarm. Conditional show attribute must not be present for this variable, because some architectural problems it can lead in a not correct regitration CHECKED_OMIT
g_sDateFormat	STRING	‘dd.MM.yyyy’	The date format used to format the date part of a timestamp
g_sTimeFormat	STRING	‘HH:mm:ss’	The time format used to format the date part of a timestamp
g_StorageTaskInfo	StorageTaskInfo		Info object for the alarm storage task. Contains information about task state and cycle times.
g_xStepByStepMode	BOOL	TRUE	Activates the progressive loading of the alarm history.
g_tStepByStepLimit	TIME	TIME#25ms	Sets the time limit per loading step.
g_iAlarmConfigurationUpdateCounter	INT	0	Increment this variable if a change is made to the AlarmConfig at runtime, it reloads the AlarmTable.
