Capture alarm bell

Hello,

I'm in the need of a hardware output when the alarm bell is triggered (audio active) to trigger a output when a new alarm, supervised by the system, arrives. Can this signal be fetched somewhere or is this hard coded?
I was looking in the Opplcace and messagehandler objects but can't seem to find anything usefull.

thanks

Hi jds,

There is no database attribute that shows the bell status. It’s an internal calculation. But you might use the AlarmTable object. If this is positioned under the OpPlace object, it will be filled with data of the he current alarms. The purpose is to show the alarm list in a table in a Ge graph in case you don’t want to user the ordinary alarm list window. It contains the attribute NoOfUnackedAlarms that contains the number of unacknowledged alarms. If this is larger than zero you can set the alarm output. It will not be exactly the same as the bell as this also looks at the Bell bit in event flags for the alarm, but this bit is usually set for all alarms.
