Alerts and Alarms

The alerts and alarms tab, available in the user notification docking window, provides messages when configured alerts and/or alarms are triggered.

The processing of alerts and alarms is done immediately following the calculation of a model using the Explicit (SWMM Solver) engine configured to use SCADAConnect Simulator.

Enabled alerts are validated first. A warning message is generated for any invalid setting for an alert.

Alarms are processed, and a message is generated for any alarms triggered.

Enabled alerts are processed in the order they appear in the alerts dialog. A message is generated for an alert if at least one element specified in the selection set triggers the alert at a specific time step.

There is a specific number of element types and fields available to configure alerts.
