(Alarm Manager module)
| Description: | Returns the number of active alarms within a hierarchy of tags. |
| Returns: | Numeric |
Usage:  |
Script or steady state. |
| Function Groups: | Alarm Manager |
| Related to: | Accumulate | GetContainerNumUnacked |
| Format: |
GetContainerNumUnacked(ContainerObj); |
| Parameters: |
| ContainerObj |
| Required. The container tag to query. |
| Comments: | In earlier versions of VTScada, if you had written a custom tag with a built-in alarm, you had to ensure that it contributed its active alarms to the count maintained by a hierarchical accumulator module. This is no longer true. |
Example:
TotalNumActive = \AlarmManager\GetContainerNumActive(MyTagObject);
Where, "MyTagObject" represents the container tag object.
Example 2:
Given a Context-derived tag at the top level of the tag hierarchy named "Station 1", suppose that you want an expression in a calculation tag that will return the total number of active alarms in that context. The expression would be:
\AlarmManager\GetContainerNumActive([<Station 1>]\Root)
