Alarm and email when the oil temperature tag goes above 65 °C

[LogicAutomation]

We already read the hydraulic oil temperature of our presses into Proveris as a tag, and I can see the value on LIVE > TAG. Maintenance would like an alarm when it goes above 65 °C, shown on the dashboard, and an email to the maintenance mailbox.
I opened the MACHINE ALARMS page and clicked "Add Machine Alarm", but the dialog has a lot of fields (condition, level, color, log/email/SMS status) and it says all fields are required. Could you explain what each field means and what I need to set up for the email to actually go out?

[Technical Support]

Sure. The alarm definition is done under TASKS & ALARMS > MACHINE ALARMS.
Fields in "Add Machine Alarm"
- Alarm Name and Alarm Description: what operators will see, for example "Press 1 oil temperature high".
- Alarm Tag: select the oil temperature tag. If the tag list is empty, the tag must first exist under DEVELOPMENT > TAG; you can also type the tag name manually.
- Tag Data Type: the data type of the tag (for a temperature usually a real/float value).
- Trigger Condition and Trigger Value: for your case Greater than Alarm Trigger Value and 65.
- Level: Low, Medium or High Alarm Level.
- Color: the row color used for this alarm, for example on the dashboard Alarms card.
- Log Status: whether alarm states are recorded, so they appear in reports.
- Email Status and SMS Status: whether this alarm triggers an email or SMS.
For the email
1. Open SETTINGS > EMAIL and add the mail server: Sender Email, Password, Host, Port and Recipient Email (the maintenance mailbox). Only one email entry is allowed.
2. Enable Email Status on the alarm.
Testing
Set a temporary trigger value just below the current temperature, check that the alarm appears on LIVE > ALARM and that the email arrives, then set it back to 65.
Tip: if the temperature fluctuates around the limit, the alarm can trigger and clear repeatedly. Consider a slightly different limit for the warning and a higher one for a second, High-level alarm.
