Section 3 Installation
To monitor the Alarm Status, the OPC Source Name aspect or, Aspect Name aspect
needs to be added to each object. There can only be one alarm owner for each alarm
source. This can be done from the Object Type Structure. Add the Aspect Name
aspect and use the copy function from the Aspect Control Tab in the Object Type
Definition Aspect. This has been done for the TestType as displayed below.

The following Aspects are also added to the Object Type as usual; Alarm List,
Alarm Status and a Faceplate. In this example this Graphic Element was also
created containing the visualization of the AlarmState.
