Alarm Input

If the Alarm Status parameter is Active, then the alarms are reordered based on the timestamp (and dropped if they are too old), unless the Ignore Timestamp parameter is set. Otherwise, data is processed as it is received.

The parameters that define the input stream of the block are "Device or Device Group" and "Alarm Type". If this block is configured with the same "Device or Device Group" and "Alarm Type" parameters as an Alarm Output block in another model, then a connection between the models is formed, as each block refers to the same stream of Alarm objects.
