Hi,

I'm working on a project using WinCC Professional in TIA Portal V16.

I'm using operators system messages to track changes in some process values, I am familiar with TriggerOperatorEvent on C scripting but I would like to use VB scripting as it has date and time functions. Is there any VB equivalent for TriggerOperatorEvent? Alternatively, how can I write a similiar function in VB that does that??

Hi galos_avg,

Look at follow FAQ

Messages and Alarms in WinCC (TIA Portal) and S7-300/400 (3,7 MB)

Example:

Sub OnClick(ByVal item)

Dim UserAlarm

Dim ID_UA

Dim State_UserAlarm

ID_UA = "10"

State_UserAlarm = "1"

Set UserAlarm = HMIRuntime.Alarms(ID_UA)

UserAlarm.State = State_UserAlarm

UserAlarm.Comment = "empty Comment"

UserAlarm.UserName = "Max Mustermann"

UserAlarm.Create "MyApplication"

End Sub
