How can i setup an Alarm Page
« on: April 20, 2016, 06:33:31 PM »
I would like to setup an alarm page that would display the Alarm in Red if unacknowledged, and Amber if acknowledged. Has anyone done this? If so how?

Will your PLC program have an indication if the Alarm has been acknowledged? If so, how will that be setup?

I am using a Click PLC for this, and it doesn't have an Alarm instruction like AB. My thought was to use a Set, Reset bit, I am wondering if you have a better idea now. I attached a screen shot to better explain how I was going to do it in the PLC.

See if this will get you what you want:

- Add a BasicIndicator to the form
- Set Color1 to Transparent
- Set Color2 to Red
- Set Shape to Rectangle
- Set Text to "Sump HH Alarm"
- Set PLCAddressSelectColor2 to the address of the alarm bit

- Add a BasicButton
- Set PLCAddressClick to the address of the Alarm Acknowledge Button
