database table is laid out by locations where each has up to eight associated alarm
registers or columns.
A location can be a physical area housing processing equipment, a process or
manufacturing line, a machine, or the actual PLC or field instrument.
The alarm columns are typically populated with boolean type registers, but may be
integer values defining the on and off state of process exceptions.
Up to four unique exceptions may be combined into a single call out alarm. When the
conditions are present to constitute a call out, VoiceAlarm processes through the list of
configured users until the call is answered and an appropriate action is taken.
