Introduction

Via Audible Alarm Groups the OperatorStations control the horns connected to the Process-Stations (S7).
To an AudibleAlarmGroup two alarm objects can be allocated by selection; these DataObjects are set to 1 on an incoming alarm.

The section entries are created when the AbvSpu-Database is generated.
