#419 New haystack tags for (fan) fault and alarms

Mohan Shelar Thu 7 Jul 2016

Almost every BMS project with supply/return/exhaust/outside air fan has a hardware point called Fan Fault and another software point called ("Mismatch") alarm.

Can we have a tag for fault and alarm? These can be useful for other plant equipment e.g. Cooling tower fans, car park fans. 
These can also be used for equipment fault and alarm for humidifiers, dehumidifiers, filters etc.
Currently I am using custom tag called "alarm" to configure all types of fault and alarm points in BMS.

Suggestions are welcome

I would say "alarm points" are a huge can of worms that have a big overlap with a complete alarming infrastructure - see topic 167 for previous discussion.

Thanks Brian...That is a very handy thread on "alarm" When can we see such tag(s) in Haystack? Any sooner date?
