HEIDENHAIN Alarm and Event Sources

HEIDENHAIN Alarm and Message handling produces alarm events. The AlarmEventSourceInfo object is used to handle these alarms and events. The declaration is located in the device file.

Messages are not acknowledged by the HumanOS Plugin. Typically, this is done by the HEIDENHAIN system using the RESET button.
